If you happen to be at Bendel's on 5th Ave - stop upstairs to Fekkai and have Seiji make your hair look as FABULOUS as those new clothes you just bought and say hi to my make-up artist Brandon for me!!!

My name is Mara Stanziani I’m from New York City and co- founder and editor of Shesdaily.com a blog and site dedicated to beauty and style.
I’m a beauty fanatic and fashion crazy . Since I live in New York City, which for me is to be not only the capital of the world but also the capital for fashion, I’ve come to know alot more about both fashion and style. I try my best to stay updated with the latest trends, by going at least once a month, on what I call "ShesDaily Spree Day" .

What is a ShesDaily Spree Day?
Well either I go with my friend or daughter into the city and go window shopping for the latest fashion trends. Well I must say window shopping isn’t the appropriate word because I usually always end up shopping.

Why do I do this? because I like to see what is out there and what can I write about to share with my readers on my blog and most of all it’s fun.

What is it that I look for?
Well when I enter a store the first thing  that draws to my attention is color, if in that particular store for example Yellow catches my eye then immediately I look into that particular yellow top,  pants, shoes it can even be a handbag or an accessory. I try to look at more than one article in that  particular color to see what personal touch has been  added by  the designer or company. This helps me understand fashion. Then I try to create my own style by mixing and matching. Vibrant colors are fine, but my style is soft colors. Though my style is soft,  what I like to do is always add just one piece of which could even be an accessory in a vibrant color, by doing so I’ve just created my style. One single accessory can really add that particular touch. That is what I always look for and I love it.

What else do I do on a ShesDaily Spree Day?
I also look around for new shops or bottega’s which have opened in the city. I like to go there because you really find unique and original things and I’m all for unique and original.

What are my favorite places to shop?
H &M for Tops and Dresses, New York and Company for Pants and tops, Zara for Tops, Loft Ann Taylor for outfits and tops. For shoes I like Aereosoles, my shoes need to be comfortable, if my feet are comfortable I am comfortable and if I’m comfortable I am happy. But like I said if I walk into a store and something catches my eye and I truly like it I will buy it.

Is fashion my only mission on this day?
No, I also like to shop around and learn  more about the latest beauty trends.
I like Sephora, becuase when I walk in I see variety and I like variety. It allows me to look around and find new beauty products. I can also test the products and this is a plus because not only do I see the product, I can touch it, smell it, and even try it on allowing me to  test it and this helps in writing a review.  
I also try to stay updated on the latest beauty and fashion trends, by visiting web sites, reading magazines such as Marie Claire, Vogue, Teen Vogue Lucky Magazine Etc… and from time to time attending events. I also like to sign up for mailing lists and subscribe to newsletters. Let’s not forget samples, I love them!
