Ambria and I met shortly after I rejoined STA. She too was in the midst of a transition, so it was excellent timing for us to work together -- and have fun with fashion. As you may have taken away from Episode 1, she eats, breathes, and sleeps fashion! No really, trust me. Bored on a Friday night she will most likely be shopping online and figuring out a way to make those purchases happen -- even if it means the dollar menu at McDs for a week. I, on the other hand, approach my wardrobe differently. I'm not a huge shopper. When I'm out and about things simply catch my eye and speak to me, and that's when I usually make my purchases. I've always been a thrifty gal. A favorite past time was going to yard sales with my late Nana, Millie Dunn. And, OMGoodness, I remember the days when it was time for my mom to pick up our back to school or seasonal layaway! I could not wait! Today, I love going to flea markets or sample sales where I can get the most bang for my buck! Now you can see where STA fits. There's always a deal, a new look, or something that can inspire you.

When things got busier at the store and we needed extra help, I put the intention out to the universe (no, really!) and in walked Karina. Funnily enough, I used to work with her sister Danielle in advertising -- so the serendipity continued. Karina loves to shop consignment stores and there are several on the Upper East Side where she grew up. It was a no brainer to hire her. She was looking for some independence, and we were looking for someone with her enthusiasm, love for fashion, as well as her connections to some elite closets.

Wilson is our newest addition, who, as you saw, twirled his way into the store. Hmm. . .I am a fan of speaking your mind and he certainly didn't hold back with his thoughts on the men’s section. I agree, it needs some major work, and let's see, as Ambria says, if he can "bring it."

We are a colorful group with many dimensions, so tune in next week to continue watching it unfold. It's a fun opportunity to see a slice of NY life through our eyes. There will be some real characters that visit (I like the more kooky ones!). And of course you'll see more AMAZING fashion.
