About Nacole
Before graduating from a top tier university with both department and university honors with a degree in Communication, Nacole spent her last quarter abroad living in Paris. Beyond Fashion Week, beyond the haute couture, beyond Faubourg Saint-Honore, it was the street style that inspired her most. She gained experience at a fashion and luxury lifestyle magazine, a luxury handbag line with the likes of Mischa Barton and Lauren Conrad adorning the bags as well as assisted a local reverent fashion stylist and helped coordinate several events since her return from Paris.
Her obscene love for fashion, branding and PR in the fashion and luxury world, led her to create RichSkinnyPretty.com- a platform to serve multiple purposes; a forum to display aesthetics and style, a place to highlight fashion trends and influential fashion designers, and a forum to feature or introduce specific must-have brands and beauty items.
Nacole’s personal style
Born and raised a Southern California girl, she is influenced by her native small beach town filled with sunny days, sun tan lotion, bikinis and salty ocean-tasseled wavy hair. Casual and simple pieces, frocks and sheaths, always paired with bold accessories and bronzed skin describes her everyday look.
“Almost contradictive of my California casual feminine style of flowy dresses, ruffled blouses and a-line skirts, I also love to wear structured and darker/edgier pieces like blazers, leather jackets, skinny jeans or black leggings with 5-inch pumps or gladiator heels. I definitely have been influenced by the sophistication and très chic style of Paris. It really depends on my mood and the occasion. If it’s champagne brunch or a day of shopping it calls for a simple flowy dress for our warm California weather, while I will opt for a black leather jacket or blazer and skinny jeans for a night out.”
Nacole’s FAVORITE designers:
“I heart Zac Posen and absolutely adore Erin Fetherston and Isabel Morant. I also love Galliono, Givenchy and Balancigia. I honestly do NOT know anyone who does not LOVE what Christophe Decamin is doing with Balmain. With his 'tough chic, body skimming, thigh grazing designs,' who isn’t swooning?? Just make sure you have the gams for these ultra-minis."
Celebrities
“For celebs, I love Natalie Portman’s red carpet style and Rachel Bilson’s street style. Rachel always mixes unexpected pieces and makes it work.”
Nacole’s Closet
“My closet if filled with basic pieces, lots of neutrals and a few patterns. I personally like to take a simple black dress or a white T-shirt and jeans and dress it up with daring accessories. I have fun with tights, handbags, clutches, jewelry, hats, sunglasses, scarves, etc. For shoes, I love Miu Miu and George Maoles flats, YSL super tall platforms and Marc Jacobs pumps. Layering bracelets has become quite an obsession of mine and a great deal of my spare time has become dedicated to shopping, bargain hunting and searching for more to add to my collection. Travels in Europe and pieces handed down to me or given as gifts have added tremendously to my array of bracelets. One of my most prized possessions is a simple leather bracelet with a gold clasp that I found in a small jewelry shop in Paris. Love Love Love. Whenever I wear it, I am reminded of my favorite city.”
Biggest FASHION FAUX PAS in Nacole’s book-All I can say is PLEASE DO NOT wear something head-to-toe just because Nicole Richie or Lauren Conrad did!! Of course, be inspired by celebrities, the runways, the glossy pages of magazines, but do not let that define you. Do not copy it, but let it inspire you by incorporating specific pieces into your OWN style. Without further ado, let me introduce to you the concept of RICHSKINNYPRETTY.COM…
