Where were you born? 
Born and raised in Nashville, TN

Where do you live now? 
Los Angeles

In one sentence what is unique about 
your work? 
I’ve made an effort to keep my blog a 
balance between my life- my friends and 
those around me- and the “LA scene” of 
parties, events, etc. Creating The 
Urbane Blog has been an eye-opening 
experience that has allowed to me to 
see 
LA from a number of perspectives. 
I have met so many interesting people 
and am genuinely amazed by some of the 
talent and creativity that I see on a 
daily basis. This city is undergoing a 
renaissance of sorts, and I’m thrilled 
to be right in the center of it all.

Why do you do what you do? 
I love putting myself out there and 
meeting as many people (at as many 
different places) as possible. Blogging 
in LA keeps you on your toes, and you 
truly never 
know who or what is around each corner. 
LA can be overwhelming, and blogging 
has provided an outlet for me to 
explore the best and worst that the 
city has to offer.

What inspires you? 
I’m inspired first and foremost by my 
friends. They are all wildly different 
but share a common creative drive and 
energy that never ceases to amaze me. 
Beyond that, I’m inspired by various 
types of art and music. Recently, I’ve 
been drawn to Damien Hirst, Jamie xx, 
Hedi Slimmane, Kurt Vile, Jeff Klein, 
and Bill Henson. 
But, of course, Jack White and 
Jean-Michel Basquiat will forever be my 
favorites!

Describe your personal style. 
My look, despite slight tweaks here and 
there, is consistently monochromatic 
and simple. 90% of my wardrobe is white,
navy, grey, and black. These colors can 
be dressed up or down and go with almost
anything! My favorite brands are A.P.C., 
Common Projects, Steven Alan, Norse 
Projects, and Garrett Leight.

Your ultimate must-have. 
This one’s tough. Right now, I’d have 
to say it’s a tie between my Common 
Projects white Achilles sneakers and 
Byredo’s Sunday Cologne. 

What superpower would you have and why? 
Easy. I’d want to control time! There 
are never enough hours in the day and 
a “pause’ here and there would be nice.

What is next for you? 
Next month, I’m moving to New York for 
the summer. I’m working at PAPER 
Magazine and couldn’t be more excited. 
I’m living in East Village with my best 
friend Laura and I can’t wait to see 
what sort of trouble we get ourselves 
into.

Je Suis Arianna Huffington

Occupation: President and Editor-in-Chief of the Huffington Post Media Group

Instagram: @ariannahuff

Where were you born? Athens, Greece

In one sentence what is unique about your work?

From the beginning, the whole point of HuffPost has been to take the sort of conversations found at water coolers and around dinner tables -- about politics and art and books and food -- and open them up and bring them online.

Why do you do what you do?

Bringing together people from different parts of my life and facilitating interesting conversations has always been part of my Greek DNA.

What inspires you?

My mother. “Don’t miss the moment” was one of her favorite sayings, and it embodied the philosophy of her life.

Describe your personal style.

 I’m a big believer in repeats, and it’s one of my missions to make repeats cool!It would save women so much time and energy – which would mean more time and energy they can spend getting things done. Or sleeping. Women feel that they need to wear something new every single day, while men like Mark Zuckerberg can wear the same hoodie and jeans! So I purposefully will wear the same dresses over and over again (really, check my Instagram) because I love finding something that’s comfortable and I feel great in. And I always wear flats or kitten heels.

Your ultimate must-have.

Fresh’s Sugar Lychee Bath & Shower Gel and Seaberry Restorative Body Cream are must-haves for my nightly hot bath with Epsom salts – the centerpiece of my pre-bedtime ritual that helps me get ready for sleep.

What superpower would you have and why?

The ability to go to sleep instantly, since sleep is the superpower that fuels all our other super and non-super powers.

What is next for you?

We’re taking the Sleep Revolution College Tour to more than 50 campuses across America, drawing on the latest science to raise awareness and spark a national conversation about the importance of sleep and the dangers of sleep deprivation. To help students embrace sleep as a performance enhancer rather than something that gets in the way of achievement and success, we’ve partnered with major brands, including Sleep Number, JetBlue, Marriott, Jawbone, Cocomat, Spotify, Lands’ End, Fresh, Sleep Shepherd, Headspace, Marpac, Sheex, and others to host “sleep fairs” and slumber parties on campuses to give students tangible tools and products to learn better sleep habits and make small but transformational changes in their lives.

Occupation: Blogger at minimesque Instagram:@minimesque

Where were you born?
I was born and raised in Ridgefield, Connecticut.

Where do you live now?
I've been living in New York City for 5 years. I love this city most for its character.

In one sentence what is unique about your work? I'm drawn to minimal and simple pieces, so if you see an outfit on minimesque that you like, chances are you have something similar already in your closet - it's accessible style inspiration!

Why do you do what you do?
I'm mentally planning outfits all day - even as I'm falling asleep at night. So the opportunity to share my style ideas with an audience and see theirs in return is endless fun for me.

What inspires you?
Women with strong identities. Cities, too!

Describe your personal style.
Uptown minimalism with a downtown touch. Your ultimate must-have. Easy. A little white dress.

What superpower would you have and why? Time travel. There are so many events in history I would have loved to witness.

What is next for you?
You'll be seeing more of my personality - beyond the outfit!

personal stylist -- love you Tina!
