What do you do when you're not blogging? What is your job?

Stefanie: I am currently a Buyer for a department store in downtown San Francisco- but I will be moving to New York next month and looking for a new job. I am also a dance teacher and designer on the side!

What would be the one fashion tip you would give to a friend?

Stefanie: If I could give one fashion tip, it would be to have confidence! Too many times I have heard people say "I couldn't pull that off"- and it's true, you can't, unless you have confidence! As long as you feel good wearing something, everyone else will too.

What is your fantasy splurge?

Stefanie: Can I say a house? I LOVE fashion, but I'm not big on splurging. I always think you can get something similar for less, and personally I enjoy the hunt- then I don't feel guilty later! (ok, but I do really like the Reed Krakoff Boxer totes in leather/wool mix. I haven't found a cheaper version yet!)

Three things in your closet you cannot live without:

Stefanie: Tough question- my tastes change daily! Right now, maybe my Steve Madden leopard loafers, my Zara navy blue cropped trousers, and my Old Navy Plaid button downs. The perfect casual/professional outfit!

How long does it take you to decide on an outfit to post?

Stefanie: The thing about blogging is that sometimes you are SO full of inspiration, and sometimes you have none at all-in which case it can take an hour or more to come up with a great look. When I have a good idea for a post, I always write it down or take a picture-so I have a bank of looks to choose from.

What's your latest obsession?

Stefanie: Apparently my iPhone. I lost it this past weekend and no idea how dependent I was on it. Everything from my notes to my Instagrams to my inspiration was on there and I never put any of it onto the 'cloud'! Plus the camera is so good that sometimes I even take my blog posts pictures with it!

On my days off, you'll find me...

Stefanie: Eating! Almost everything my boyfriend and I both enjoy revolves around food. The San Francisco Ferry Building farmer's market is a favorite, as are food trucks, hosting BBQ's, going to nice dinners and cooking gourmet meals at home. When in doubt- we eat!

My go-to product in my beauty arsenal:

Stefanie: Organix Moroccan oil. My hair is extremely dry and I put this in after I wash my hair to hold in moisture and shine. Also Pssssssst Dry Shampoo is a savior when you don't have time for a shower!

What are you reading right now?

Stefanie: CHANEL A Woman of Her Own by Axel Madsen

What's the oldest thing you're wearing today? Is there a story behind it?

Stefanie: Interestingly, my mom used to be a jewelry designer and has some of the best vintage jewelry and stones I have ever seen. I am currently wearing one of her long strands of pearls that I wrap around my neck 4 times. It adds the right touch of class to almost any outfit!

How do you find your inspirations for your great DIY projects?

Stefanie: When I see something that I want but can't afford, my next question is always "How can I make that myself?" Sometimes I find a great way to re-create something and sometimes I don't; but I think that it's the instinct to try to find a cheaper, more personal way to do things that makes a great DIYer.

3 fun facts about you:

Stefanie: 1. My eyes are so bad I've been called legally blind 2. I teach hip hop and technique dance classes to teenagers 3. I am a sticker for spelling- get that grammar right!
