Q: How did you hear about Shoparatti?

A: Through the fashion grapevine. We fashion peeps love to chat about things that can potentially make sartorial life easy!

Q: Do you shop the daily deal sites? If so what are some of your favorites?

A: I'm a big fan of Moda Operandi (allowing you to order clothing directly off the runway before the merchandise hits the store). It's the reverse mentality of something like Guilt but I feel it will become as relevant.

Q: Everyone loves a great deal, what's the best deal you've ever found?

A: A great deal to me is not only good value for money but something that didn't take me an eternity to find. (Time is money, baby!) If someone can do the editing for you and point you in the right direction then its a good deal. Thanks Shoparatti

Q: What style tips do you have for our Shoparatti audience? What's the trend this winter?

A: This fall buy something with a 60's edge, a polka dot print and a cozy parka to snuggle up in. All these were big trends on the runways which have trickled down. Buy these pieces in silhouettes and colors that suit though, never go too far out of your comfort zone. Never buy into a trend, just because its a trend. And only ever buy something you absolutely LOVE. Another tip to make shopping and dressing easy, is to pick your personal style and stick with it. Are you ladylike, rock and roll, retro etc in style. Once you know this you can find style icons, brands and pieces that will suit you and cut down on the excess.

Q: What's the number one way to save money on an outfit?

A: Buy something that you love and adore and that fits properly. I swear you'll get more millage out of it , in turn saving you money. Buy separates that you can mix and match. Before you buy, think of 3 other things in your closet that will go with it. If you cant imagine this...walk away!
