When it comes to trends they come and go. In my closet are basics that I pair with one or two trend pieces. That trend piece can be a shirt, necklace or even shoes. Some examples are a trendy blouse with basic skinny jeans, destroyed jeans with a graphical t-shirt, jacket and some killer boots. Find clothes that are comfortable and fit well. My favorite comfortable outfit right now is skinny jeans and a tunic  sweater or blazer.

Who’s a fashion icon today that young women can look up to? With the recent election, it’s obvious that Michelle Obama is becoming an icon. She’s intelligent, athletic, a mom and beautiful. Michelle handles every situation with grace. There’s been a lot that’s been written up on her, especially her selection of designers. She’s given hope to a lot of aspiring fashion designers.

There is another young lady that is quite interesting. Her fashion sense is incredible; although she was born with money her parents made her to work hard for herself. She’s gone to the Wharton School for business and is involved in her father’s business. She’s refreshing because she’s the antithesis of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. Yes, I’m talking about the one and only Ivanka Trump. She’s a class act. Her style reminds me of such classic labels as St. John, Chanel, Valentino, Caroline Herrara. Ivanka is a role model many young ladies should follow. She is intelligent, strong, classy, sexy, graceful and when it comes to her fashion it’s always chic and meticulously put together.
