Publisher: My Style Diaries - Home

Nikki Minton When it comes to clothing and accessories (the latter in particular), I am, in a word: obsessed. In my fashion-focused world, each day is an outfit that must be planned. In preparation magazines are scoured; blogs are stalked; celebrities are critiqued; and girlfriends are consulted. For every event in my life, big and small, I plan, re-plan and perhaps over-analyze every aspect of what I will be wearing. One day while discussing what to wear for an upcoming Girls' Night Out, I realized that so many budding fashionistas may have their own style conundrums and no one to care (or at least to tell them that leopard hot pants are not the best idea when meeting his mother). In my zealous efforts to beautify the world (you can thank me later), My Style Diaries was created. Born and raised in Southern Louisiana, I moved to California in 2006 to pursue an education and career in fashion. After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM for those in the know) in 2009, I spent two years as a fashion publicist at a boutique PR firm in Beverly Hills. Through working with various celebrity and editorial stylists as well as bloggers during my time as a publicist, I fell in love with the worlds of styling and blogging, and wanted to find a way to combine the two. I view My Style Diaries as an online resource for real women who are looking to dress to impress and believe that the luxury of a personal stylist should not be reserved for celebrities alone. If you have a style query of your own, let me know! My goal: to provide you with ideas for the exact outfit you didn't even know you wanted to wear. If you don't love my suggestions, you could potentially find a good start to the perfect ensemble. At the very least, you could find exactly what you don't want to wear. But hey, that's a start right? So tell your friends! Tell your friends' friends. Tell your coworker who could use a little style advice. Send in your questions, and I'll do my best to get to each one. I hope you'll make My Style Diaries all about you!
