The Fashion Records Lookbook: Alissa

---

Name: Alissa

 Age:  30

 Location: Brooklyn baby!

If you could pick 3 fashion must-haves that every woman should own, what would they be?

1-A motorcycle jacket

2-A body con dress w/t Spanx-they go hand in hand J

3-Killer 4inch heels

 What’s in your pockets right now?

Nothing but lent. We are still in a recession.

What is the one biggest pet-peeve?

When people ask me how can I walk in high heels and if my feet hurt. I say to them, I’ve had more trips and falls in flats than in heels, so I can walk just fine in heels.

What’s a great fashion tip that you can share with The Fashion Records readers what would it be?  

My biggest fashion tip is to dress the body you have now.

What’s the most important lesson that life has taught you?

There are so many important life lessons that I have learned but I think the one that stays with me the most is to always be myself and not focus on what other people are doing but stay true to my visions and my own path. It’s so easy to get hung up on other people’s successes and possessions and I think sometimes we have to realize what God has for you is for you so stop worrying about what everyone else has and is doing.

What’s the one place you should NEVER go on a date?

You should never go to a fast food restaurant on a date because there is no privacy.

 What would you say is your signature style?

It’s hard to say because there is a lot of simplicity to my style. Nothing is over the top or edgy. I always try to just look pulled together. I think my signature style is sophisticated and on trend. I love classic styles, draping, pleating, and ruffles but I like to put my own twist by adding current trends. A typical outfit for me is a feminine dress with a biker jacket and heels. It makes me feel so comfortable as if I had on jeans and a tee.

 

 Is there anyone who you admire or draw your style influences from?

Honestly, right now I’m drawing style influence from 3 people. Olivia Palermo, Solange Knowles, and Kourtney Kardashian. I just think they are giving a breath of fresh air from the typical skin tight club dresses and are really putting together outfits that everyday women would wear.

 What is your most prized fashion item?

I don’t have one.

Favorite designers:

Monif C., Jibri, Rachel Roy, Tracy Reese, BCBG Max Azria, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, and Michael Kors. They all truly speak to my personal style in some way.

Where do you like to shop?

I like to hit up Brooklyn boutiques for one of kind pieces. However, I love shopping at Century21, Bloomingdales, ASOS, Forever21, and Dorothy Perkins.

People don’t know that you….

I wanted to be a rapper. I had plans on being the female Jay-Z. LOL! I like to call myself a hip hop connoisseur.

 Where can we find you online….
