 If you are a true fashionista, you’ve heard of Taylor Tomasi-Hill.  I will be the first one to admit having a slight obsession with the former style and accessories director for US Marie Claire Magazine. 

Having bid farewell to her family at Marie Claire in November of last year, Tomasi-Hill is currently the artistic director of Moda Operandi – an online retailer that sells designer pieces months before they hit the stores. 

 
As Tomasi-Hill’s career evolves, so does her style iconicity.  She continues to thrive on popular fashion and street style blogs.
 
Tomasi-Hill’s flavorsome style, blood orange hair, and urbane manner is one that makes your heart skip a beat.  I am telling you, this girl transcends style.  Part of what makes her so great is her ability to maintain a balance of quality and taste.  If you are ever in need of some fashion ideas, I urge you to peep Tommy Ton’s coverage of her on JackandJill.com and Style.com.  Tomasi-Hill is the ultimate fashion inspiration if you want to ginger up your wardrobe without going overboard – or looking like you are trying too hard. 

This fashion chameleon’s avant-garde taste is even translated to her living space.  Read here to see how Tomasi-Hill incorporated her “little bit of everything” attitude into her brand new New York apartment. 

Hailing from eastern Washington, Julia attends the University of Portland in Oregon, as a Communication Studies major with an emphasis on Journalism. As a magazine and book junkie, Julia reads everything (and anything) she can get her hands on, especially those passionate on young adult culture and entertainment. A woman that gets stir-crazy easily, Julia has been fortunate to have traveled many summers in a row to foreign countries, including a study abroad course in Austria, Germany, and Great Britain. Since a ripe age, she has grown and cultivated her passion and dream of working for a magazine and spreading awareness as well as happiness through the tips of her fingers. Always finding time for herself, Julia can frequently be found quoting movie lines (most frequently Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn), having a 90's dance party with her roommates, or rereading "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" for the 40th time.
