Glamour girl lifts head-turning looks from fashion mags

By Lisa Hinojosa

CORPUS CHRISTI — I wouldn't be caught dead wearing... a fake designer bag. I feel if I can't afford it, I shouldn't pretend I can. I believe having a sense of style doesn't reflect on how much you can spend it's whether you know how to put it together or not.

Three accessories women definitely need are... a pair of natural-toned heels with a matching purse (because it's easier to match something that's close to your skin tone than it is to find the perfect colored shoe to match every dress) and a pearl necklace with matching earrings -- they just define classy.

Fashion advice I'd give my best friend Keep it simple and you don't have to be revealing to be sexy. My favorite shopping haunts definitely Forever 21. I used to drive to San Antonio just to shop there, so when they brought one here, I was like, "Finally." They have the best prices and a huge selection of styles.

I spice up my wardrobe with bright colors and beautiful dresses that I can dress up or down. Three words to describe my wardrobe bright, simple and a little sexy. I have a tough time shopping for jeans, so when I find what I like, I usually try to buy them in all shades. I have a fashion addiction for shoes and purses... and of course the jewelry to match. The best way to organize your closet is Color coordinate and then organize from casual to evening wear.

The only thing I dislike about shopping is you either don't have enough time or you think, "Will it be here when I get back if I leave it behind?" A fashionable find from an unusual place my little bamboo purse. My former employer bought it for me when she went to Thailand. She knew my taste so well. I have had it for about seven years. I truly love this purse and I always get compliments on it.

I love shopping with my girlfriends, because we know it's just us and we know we really trust each other to be honest about what we're trying on and whether or not it really looks good. My biggest fashion pet peeve is seeing someone wear a cute dress with big strappy shoes that do not match. It really drives me crazy.
