Longtime friend of ours Ann Caruso has styled celebrities like Elizabeth Hurley, Oprah Winfrey and Katherine Heigl, as well as editorials for InStyle, Vanity Fair, and Harper’s Bazaar.
Here, we talk with Ann about her style inspirations, must-have bag for fall 2016, and the most important style advice she’s ever received.
My style type is…
Effortless and classic.
My everyday style…
Varies all the time, but I love men’s style-inspired shirts with jeans or skinny black pants, 70’s bohemian dresses and off the shoulder peasant tops.
My style is inspired by…
Many women including Jackie O, Sophie Loren and Ali MacGraw.
The one piece that always makes me feel powerful…
I don’t think a piece of clothing or an accessory can make you feel powerful. I think it is more about how you feel inside and feeling confident in the clothes you wear. They must fit well and make you feel like you look and feel good. A well fit dress – a good shoe – an Hermes Bag. Although a blow dry always makes me feel incredible!
Best style advice received…
Be comfortable in what you are wearing. Don’t wear it just because it is a trend, and don’t let something wear you!
I never leave the house without…
Cell phone, credit card and an all natural chapstick.
Must-have piece for Fall 2016…
Guitar strap crossbody from Fendi, Gucci or Valentino.
I always start my day with…
Words I live by…
Do what you love and the money will follow.
