First thing, sorry guys! We have been really busy lately so we just uploaded some blog entries. We will try our best to get the scoop for you guys! Haha.

She owns the fashion blog Uptown Girl and she’s one of the girls that was selected by TeenVogue.com for being a best-dressed-today. It’s a honour that we invited Gabrielle to do an online interview with us! She has been so nice and we love her soooo much!


Background Information
Name: Gabrielle Cosentino
Hometown: Montreal, Canada
Age: 22
Date of Birth: 7th June

TR: Teen Ribbon GC: Gabrielle

TR: What does fashion mean to you?
GC: know it sounds beyond cliché, but I truly find fashion to be the ultimate form of self-expression.


TR: Who's your fashion inspiration?
I am profoundly influenced by models and their street-style -- as well as celebrities such as Olivia Palermo, who I believe has impeccable style. I will perpetually be fascinated by US Marie-Claire magazine’s style and accessories director Taylor Tomasi Hill's eye for casually glamorous styling. Street style blogs are also a huge inspiration -- sometimes real people's style is more inspirational than the latest fashion editorial.


TR: Who's your favorite designer/brand?
GC: Alexander Wang -- I practically live in Wang's tee’s and sweaters! I am positively enamored with Chanel. Oh and I'm absolutely mad for Isabel Marant's Parisian chic!


TR: Please talk about the F/W must-have-items.
GC: I loved Michael Kors’s fall/winter collection; they’re pieces I can actually see myself reaching for everyday wear. I'm also loving the whole menswear-inspired look, huge sweaters, ankle or knee socks with wedge booties, faux fur vest or coats and I am dying to try the dramatic skirts look, but I'm just not sure I can pull it off.


TR: What do you think a teenager should dress like?
GC: I feel a teenager should be trend-conscious, yet still age appropriate. When you’re a teenager you don’t have to be afraid of wearing something crazy as long as you love it -- you can throw almost anything on and make it look effortlessly fabulous. Just has long as it’s in a respectable and age appropriate way. For example with element of classic chic thrown into the mix.
