Monica Rose Blog: Kelsi Dagger Interview

Check out my interview on Kelsi Dagger.com!I am obsessed with the Fortune by Kelsi Dagger for fall!


If you’ve walked past any news stand and glanced through the pages you have seen the work of stylist and avid fashion blogger Monica Rose. Increasingly Rose has become one of the most in demand stylists to work with young starlets, notably working with the Kardashian trio Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney. Understanding the power behind a well fitting garment, Monica has mastered the art of successfully mixing high & low end brands to create the perfect look. Based in Los Angeles this dark haired style maven has taken time out of her busy schedule to share her thoughts on the challenges she has faced as a stylist, a little insight on Summer & Fall trends and much more.

1. What was one of your biggest challenges you faced as a stylist?
As a stylist, the biggest challenges for me was working around the clock and not knowing how to make it in this business? I struggled for years working for free, waiting to get published. Though it was so demanding, it was well worthit in the end. The key is never give up.

2.You have a great sense of style. What are your three must haves for this summer?
Vintage levi cut off shorts, light-weight boyfriend blazer (I have a cream Pencey one I love and wear to death), and Givenchy flats.

3.When shopping for your clients, as a stylist what are some key things you keep in mind when shopping?
I always remember who I’m shopping for. Just because I think something is fab doesn’t mean it will make my client happy. I always work with the shape of their bodies – it is the most important thing when it comes to styling. I stay on trend and I like to get things that can be integrated with their existing wardrobe.

4.This is a bit of a trend forecasting question. What trends do you see becoming very popular for the fall?
Capes and Ponchos are making a comeback, I saw a lot of turtle necks on the runways, Mixed patch work, lots of Velvet, Wide leg trousers,and Suits!

5. What is your favorite part of styling the Kardashian sisters?I love how different their personalities are which come out in the way each of them dress. They are so much fun and take risks which I love!

6.I sent you a lookbook from the Kelsi Dagger Fall/Winter 2010 collection what would be your top 5 must have?Arley, Bellamy, Charmer, Fortune, and Judith.



7. I know you grew up in LA, do you ever see your self relocating to NYC to continue your styling career?I actually grew up in a small town in northern California. I have been in LA for 10 years now. I would love to live in NYC one day but right now LA is perfect since I just had my daughter, all my clients live here and I have my full time styling job at E!. One day I will make the jump. I love NYC.

8. What are some of the projects you are currently working on?The girls just started filming a new season of KUWTK. So, I am pretty busy with all there photo shoots, appearances and getting wardrobe for them daily. I also do all their personal shopping as well. It is non-stop, so I don’t have much time to take on any other projects at the moment.

9.I know that the Kardashian sisters designed a line for Bebe, did your styling influence any of the pieces?Some of the pieces have my influence but for the most part its all them. They really took the time to design what they love and what they would wear themselves.

10. What advice would you give to aspiring stylists?Never give up! Surround yourself around positive people. Always keep organized, inspired, focused and most importantly keep calm in a stressful situation!

Show Off Your Shoes With Cropped Pants


TREND: Cropped Pants

WHO'S WEARING IT: Kate Hudson, Katharine McPhee and Kylie Minogue


HOW TO WEAR IT: Have a fabulous pair of shoes you want everyone to see but not so keen on showing off your legs? Try a pair of cropped pants. You'll want to keep them streamlined like Katharine's (Kylie's are too baggy to be slimming). And if you're hesitant about the trend, try rolling up a pair of slim pants, like Kate did, to let your stilettos do the talking.

Strap Yourself in With Double-Wrap Belts!


TREND: Double-wrap belts

WHO'S WEARING IT: Haylie Duff, Carey Mulligan and Rachel Bilson

HOW TO WEAR IT: The double-strap cincher has all the benefits of your ordinary belt—it'll define your waist and break up your outfit. But it will also elongate your middle section and add a little something unexpected to your outfit. Wear the accessory over practically anything, from a long cardi to your favorite summer shirtdress. But before you head out the door, just make sure there's a little space between the top and bottom belt. When the two parts slide together, you can't appreciate the full effect (ahem, Carey).

2010Makeup Mondays With Mario: Too Light Undereye Concealer?



A lot of people make the same mistake with going too light under the eyes. It's no secret that I like to highlight and lighten that area of the face but there's a pretty fine line between bright and white. Try using a concealer and/or powder that is a shade darker. Also, check to see that your loose powder doesn't have light-reflecting or shimmery pigment in it. To the human eye, it's difficult to see - but the bright flash of a camera will catch it and magnify it. Another thing to try is to not use too much product where it's opaque. Instead, apply with a lighter hand. It's always good to take pics of yourself with a digital camera to test it out and see how you will look. Hope this helps.

Thanks for visiting Makeup Mondays with Mario!

Color Yourself in Coral


TREND: Coral

WHO'S WEARING IT: Olivia Munn, Alison Sweeney, Vanessa Hudgens

HOW TO WEAR IT: Coral is one of our favorite colors for summer. It looks so gorgeous with a sun-kissed tan! For day, pair the color with crisp white and neutral accessories. For night, glam it up with metallics or black. And when you're on a beach vacay, go all out bright by adding teal to the mix.
