Sometimes the most stylish people come in pairs. Best friends: Natasha (remember her?) and this week’s Girl of the Week STEPHI CHIN-SALVO both have the same great attitude towards finding your personal style: love what you wear and your clothes will love you back - and sometimes a sense of humour is the best accessory. Love Stephi’s style? A self-professed lover of all things old, antiquey and vintage, it’s no wonder she’s the one stocking the floors of Front and Company with those amazing vintage finds. Everyone, meet Stephi.

Rocking… I am wearing this vintage military kinda marching band looking vest from F as in Frank, it was actually a jacket but I cut off the sleeves so you could see the fringe more. A white long sleeve top from Front and Company, high waisted denim shorts from UO, tights from Topshop that I cut up myself, black socks, doc martens, and a bunch of jewelry from I don’t know where! Everywhere!

Personal style notes… Street? Eclectic? Vintage? Random? I don’t know! It’s hard to describe my own style. I like to wear a lot of different things, I try not to take fashion too seriously. Have fun with it! If I really like it I’ll buy it and if I love it I’ll wear it, as long as a bajillion other people aren’t wearing it.

Style icons… Mary-Kate Olsen, sooooooo rad.

Top shops… Front and Company, obviously and it honestly has everything you’ll ever need, trust me! I l.o.v.e F as in Frank, Used, Value Village and Ebay. Portobello West always has sick stuff, I got this neato knit scarf head-wrap thing by this designer called Katalyzt Designs by Catriona Whelan. Really wicked stuff! Definitely something to check out if your not too hung over on the last Sunday of the month.

I base my daily look around… How I feel and the universe!

Beauty counter… Maximum hold hair spray and Crest tooth paste.

Reading list… ION, V, i-D, Dazed and Confused.

Film club… Amelie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I Heart Huckabees, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Titanic, Casablanca, The Little Mermaid.

Most cherished… This antique teacup set this little gypsy gave me and Pig (my bike).

What does luxury mean to you… Getting to sit down on the sky train during rush hour or having a slice of strawberry cheesecake after dinner.

Holiday wish list… True Love and a three zone bus pass! Merry Christmas!!
