Celebrity stylist Mariel <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Haenn</span> makes her work look easy; styling and creating images for some of the world’s biggest stars including fashion icon and singer <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Rihanna</span>, sinder Ciara, actors Jada <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Pinkett</span>-Smith and husband Will Smith, singer Keri <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Hilson</span> and rapper Jay Z among many others. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Haenn</span> has also done a vast amount of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">editorial</span> work, television commercials and worked with world <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">renowned</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">photographers</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">across</span> the world.<br /><br />Her style is somewhat a mystery, the super talented stylist is not caught bragging or hitting more red carpets than her clients and it was a task to even find a photo of her on the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Internet</span>….but I think that’s why I like her so much. She’s gorgeous and speaking to her for this interview was such a pleasure. Great personality and style is always a perfect combination.<br /><br />She’s not stopping at styling either; she recently launched the Want It! Collection in collaboration with Saks Fifth Avenue which features cutting-edge looks alongside more accessible versions of the trends that dominated the runway shows. I totally love this idea as I am always trying to get the “look for less.” Mariel also shares her <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">favs</span> from the collection below. </div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386688877751169522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 202px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0CcQLpPpvuk/SsFc_pHn8fI/AAAAAAAAFsc/oAfJjsKBNwo/s320/saks+card.jpg" border="0" /></p><p></p><p>We chatted it up last week and here’s what the mogul in the making had to say about her career, her must have items for Fall, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Rihanna</span>, Britney Spears and much more:</p><br /><p><strong>What is your must have item for fall?<br /></strong><br />My must have item; I would say the strong shoulder jacket or blazer. Between that or the Saks Fifth Ave MasterCard. Which is like your little black card like <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">your</span> little black dress in the closet. I would say that’s my favorite accessory of all time just because it’s a card that rewards you for shopping in and out of Saks so you can shop anywhere and get the rewards at Saks and with that reward I would probably get one of the Fall Want It! pieces. It could be anything from the strong shoulder to the rocker boot or v-neck sweater…it’s really hard to pick one.<br /><br /><strong>Do you have a favorite piece or style from the Want It! Collection?</strong><br /><br />I’m really into the strong shoulder right now. I also think the rocker boot is something everyone should have.<br /><br /><strong>What path did you take to get where you are today? What came before MTV?</strong><br /><br />Before MTV was the Source Magazine and working as a freelance stylist so I’<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">ve</span> always started in music. I was at Source for a year and a half and from there I went to MTV and then from there went back to freelance. </p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386780322187118274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0CcQLpPpvuk/SsGwKaMHBsI/AAAAAAAAFss/kYWoCBRVDlM/s320/ciara.jpg" border="0" /><br /><strong>Do you have any advice for any upcoming stylist and/or designers?<br /></strong><br />Stick with it. It can get really tough and you know it’s not something that happens overnight, but if you stick to whatever your passion is you know eventually you’ll start to see the rewards.<br /><strong><br />If you could only wear 3 garments for the rest of you life, what would they be?</strong><br /><br />*Laughs* I would say some sort of rocker boot, leggings and a strong shoulder blazer. Which is basically what I wear anyway.<br /><br /><strong>How was it working with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Rihanna</span> and what was the most surprising thing you learned about her?<br /></strong><br />It’s extremely exciting working with her! Especially where we’<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">ve</span> gotten her today. I would say something I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">didn</span>’t know about her, when we first got together, I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">didn</span>’t know she would take to fashion as much as has now. When we started working together I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">didn</span>’t know she would turn out to be an icon and you know love fashion as much as she does now, so that was a pleasant surprise.<br /><br /><strong>What is in constant rotation in your <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">iPod</span> right now</strong>?<br /><br />Jay Z’s Blueprint 3.<br /><br /><strong>How was it working with them on the “Run This Town” set</strong>?<br /><br />It was amazing! The set was a lot of fun because it was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Kanye</span>, Jay and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Ri</span>. But I recently just started working with Jay, which is really amazing, I’ll be working with him on the Empire State video as well. </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386780844907663890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0CcQLpPpvuk/SsGwo1eZkhI/AAAAAAAAFs0/SHqabxRkqX0/s320/rihanna.jpg" border="0" /><br /><strong>Can you tell me a little more about the collaboration with Saks Fifth Avenue and what was the inspiration behind it?</strong><br /><br />Yeah, the inspiration behind the Fall Want It! campaign is basically that you can shop in your closet, pick out your favorite pieces and the program highlights what’s in style for Fall and you know the must haves from the cutting edge looks on the runway as well as accessible versions of the trends. So you know, its versatile and there’s something for everyone and you don’t have to go and re-do your whole closet, which is like the basis of the campaign. So basically highlights what you should be focusing on. Whether it’s the rocker boot the cozy knits, the strong shoulder or the forever bag, you can basically pick out anything from the campaign and make it your own.<br /><br /><strong>Tips for how to dress down but still look good without looking like you’re trying too hard?<br /></strong><br />You can put on my favorite outfit the leggings, the rocker boot and the strong shoulder blazer, I mean it’s dressed down but once you throw on that blazer it kind of dresses you up and makes it not so casual. It’s still casual and comfortable but it’s not like you’re wearing just a t-shirt and jeans or a t-shirt and leggings. It makes you look a little more dressed up.<br /><br /><strong>Is there anyone you haven’t had the opportunity to work with yet that you’re dying to get your hands on?<br /></strong><br />That’s so funny, I’<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">ve</span> been asked that question a lot and I’<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">ve</span> been trying to figure out who that person is. I mean I love Scarlett <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Johansson</span> but I think that she already has amazing style. I think that Britney Spears might be a good challenge for me just because I know she’s about being comfortable but I think she could do a lot more than she does right now.<br /><br /><strong>Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Do you want to design, is that something you’re looking forward to or is styling your heart?</strong><br /><br />I love styling, I think that 10 years from now I would want to be a creative consultant for maybe a clothing line or a brand and hopefully have my own high end jewelry line (the fashion maven shares with me that she'd like it to be along the lines of this piece she currently owns).<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386781360326291170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 281px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0CcQLpPpvuk/SsGxG1jxruI/AAAAAAAAFs8/uLPFpTdMLwI/s320/ring.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p>Thanks Mariel! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">xoxo</span><br /></p></div></div></div></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04214296718224399952noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086720588001206538.post-5123698351572350862009-09-24T10:52:00.000-07:002009-09-24T16:01:17.366-07:00Fashion Week Part 2New York Fashion Week is officially over and the fashion greats have moved on to London but I just wanted to share some of the pieces that stood out for me.

The flowy pieces are so angelic to me and I am loving the colors for Spring.

I love the loose fitting pants and the white blouse is perfect! Her swag also adds a lot to the look but I think this is one I may try with my harem pants and a nice white top. </div></div></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04214296718224399952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086720588001206538.post-2633694137022568672009-09-17T14:20:00.000-07:002009-09-17T18:10:27.962-07:00Top 3 Fashion WeekHere are some of my favorites looks from some of the shows this week.

Kudos to all the stylists for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">pushing</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">their</span> clients not to play it too safe! Some of my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">favorites</span> were:<br /><div><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381383029626758338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 239px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0CcQLpPpvuk/Sq6DWok35MI/AAAAAAAAFqE/-Jwua9LdjHY/s320/90709700_10.jpg" border="0" /><strong><span style="color:#ffff66;">KATY PERRY</span></strong> killed it in this very glam-rock look I love the whole thing and to throw some edge on it there are spikes coming from her sides! Amazing. Her body is out of this world. </p><br /><br /><p></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381383598020679314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0CcQLpPpvuk/Sq6D3uAi1pI/AAAAAAAAFqM/tDftQEDNcNI/s320/90711098_10.jpg" border="0" />I have been loving <strong><span style="color:#ffff66;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">AMERIE'S</span></span></strong> style lately and last night was no different. This color is perfect on her skin and if you know m you know I'm a fan of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">batwing</span> sleeve on anyone. Well done!</div><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381384496510744818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 218px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0CcQLpPpvuk/Sq6EsBJROPI/AAAAAAAAFqU/lJHhG69O-sg/s320/90712283_10.jpg" border="0" /> Another stand-out look came from <strong><span style="color:#ffff66;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">BEYONCE</span></span></strong>. I love that she has been going shorter and shorter lately....and really showing off those tones and near-perfect <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">gams</span>. And who can go wrong with a little red dress?<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381386640391577874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0CcQLpPpvuk/Sq6GozuSoRI/AAAAAAAAFqk/fJn0XR_fUt8/s320/90710345_10.jpg" border="0" /><br />Little sis <strong><span style="color:#ffff66;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">SOLANGE</span></span></strong> also looked stunning in this gorgeous mini. I am in love with her style and I think her ensemble looks fab here! The short hair absolutely works for her and goes great with this outfit.

They can be dressed up or down. Cici went for jeans and Riri went for a dress. I love the floral dress she's rocking, but when don't I love what she has on? Ciara too a more rocker approach and while I love them both, I'm going to have to go with Rihanna. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So who do you think won this style showdown?</div></div>Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04214296718224399952noreply@blogger.com0
