Before I started The Skinny Confidential, Shea Marie from Cheyenne Meets Chanel was one of the first blogs that inspired me to launch the site. Her popular fashion blog receives 25,000 hits a day [ !!! ] from all over the world. Shea’s an expert when it comes to dressing for your figure, choosing a LBD, & homemade tzatiki- all of which make her the perfect Skinnista of the Month.
P.S. Check out her sexy collaboration with Forever 21 here.
+ Describe yourself and your blog.
I’m a laid-back, easy going, California girl- who also loves fashion. My blog reflects my style through outfit posts of what I’m wearing everyday. It also follows my daily life, travel adventures, & the developments in my career.
+ If you’re going to flaunt, what body part is most flattering in a LBD?
What I always say about dresses is, if it’s super short then it has to be a bit loose, and if it’s super tight then it needs to be a little longer. Tight and short can look a little scandalous. I’m a fan of loose fitting short LBD’s- show off those long legs ladies!
+ Go-to piece for the spring to summer transitional season?
I’ve been wearing my vintage jean jacket a lot lately. It still keeps you warm at night but it’s a “summertime” jacket- rather than leather/suede or other heavy materials.
+ Favorite trends this season?
Silk scarf prints, neons, & all white outfits.
+ Natural beauty product you swear by?
RMS Luminizer– amazing!
+ Most flattering clothing pieces?
I love nude shoes because they make legs look longer!
+ Quick skinny tip?
A fitted blazer!!! Makes everyone look slim.
+ Best healthy snack?
Homemade tzatiki- I’m obsessed. I use nonfat greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, & lemon. Use a food processor to finely chop all the ingredients and then mix it in with the yogurt. Let sit in fridge for a couple of hours to develop flavor. Dip carrots, celery, or bell peppers in it.
+ Cocktail of choice?
Sugar = calories = fat, so I stick with things straight up. I’m a tequila girl. So maybe chilled Don Julio with a bunch of lime squeezed into it. Or mixed with soda water, cucumber, & mint for those hot summer days.
+ Five things summer essentials:
++ Vix Bikini
++ A neon bag like Proenza Schouler
+ Besides black, what is the most slimming color?
Navy blue.
+Â Best online shopping?
Revolve Clothing, Net-a-Porter, &/or Topshop.
+Â Spanx or no Spanx?
Whatever makes you feel most comfortable. I completely support either- no pun intended, lol.
