Jena, Nicole, and Erin Love Color! Final Giveaway!

I partnered up with The Style Tribe to help promote my second round of Cheer giveaways – scroll down to the bottom read how you can enter for a chance to win a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses or an iPod Nano! Cheer has relaunched their brand and their entire mission is to keep fashionable clothing bright. Read below to see why these three members of The Style Tribe love color!

Jena

When people ask me how I describe my style, the first word that comes to mind is color. I don’t feel myself unless I have at least one bright element in my outfit. Color makes me happy and overall, I think it just makes everything better.
– Jena Gambaccini
Nicole

Color sends messages. Color lifts moods. Color evokes emotion.

– Nicole Maarja

Erin

I love color because it’s such an easy way to make a statement with your style.  Even if it’s just a subtle pop in your clothing or accessories, a little bit goes a long way. 

– Erin Brennan

Amy on HiStyley!

IMG_4251
EvaLotta Freden, the photographer behind Los Angeles’ best street-style blog HiStyley, was kind enough to photograph me outside of the Gap 1969 design headquarters on Pico Boulevard earlier this month. You can check out her post about me here on HiStyley. I’m horribly self-conscious about my appearance, which is why I run a street-style blog and not a personal style blog. Like many other women I am hyper-critical of my appearance. Posting photographs of myself is very scary for me, but I am lucky to have the encouragement of other fashion blogger friends. 
This fear of my own photographs is ironic because I am a champion of individuality. One of the main reasons I started my blog was to show that beauty comes in all forms not just the cookie-cutter forms dictated by the fashion advertisements and popular media. It’s one of the reasons I look for stylish outfits on people of all types and not just those on beautiful women like other street-style photographers. Perhaps self-acceptance is a message that I am promoting because I am trying to internalize it myself. Classic case of projection, as the Freudians would say.

See what happens when you major in Psychology?

*P.S. I know I already did a previous outfit post with this look, but my stylist wanted me to wear it to the Vogue presentation at the Gap 1969 design studio. This was this outfit’s first time to be worn to a special event. Plus I wanted to promote Eva and her blog HiStyley.
