I want to win this book because I want to know how it all started. How did essentials like a leaf covering your privates turn into the hottest pair of bell bottom jeans? It amazes me. Fashion amazed me.

My favorite fashion designer of all time has to be Michael Korrs. He is classy and always knows how to take something masculine and make it feminine. I started watching project runway because of him and quickly fell in love with Christian "Fierce" Siriano. His line is just awe inspiring. One day I'll have enough money to buy something other than his shoes at Payless lol

Fashion is such a fun art form. People can express themselves in so many - from a tiny little pin to a full on inspired outfit. Fashion is always changing, just like us, and it's one of the ways that I can put my view into something and present it everyday to the world.

I love fashion because I can change up my style & look completely different. I can also find pieces that no one has or would think of wearing the same way I would
