Public Relations
by Christina Helms
My name is Christina Helms and I am a public relations account manager based in the Southeast. Your query struck a chord with me because I am addicted to fashion as evidenced by my subscription/purchase of at least 4-5 fashion magazines per month, my long list of bookmarked fashion blogs and my weekly E-bay and online department store and boutique shopping habit.
While I have a strong sense for what I like – which is a variety of styles from menswear-inspired business suits to ladylike Jackie O/Grace Kelly throwback items from the 60s -- I look to the magazines (ads and editorial) for inspiration on how to advance my style and to keep up with the trends. I regularly study the styles, then try to replicate the looks using my EBay and discount shopping strategies.
Because I want to remain in style, healthy and youthful looking I do work out for at least an hour, five days per week and maintain a healthy diet. So many clothes just do not lie appropriately if you have a pudgy tummy or oversize thighs -- it just makes you look sloppy and older than you actually are. I also feel that maintaining your ideal weight or a little below it, can make even inexpensive clothing look like high-quality fashion. (I know I’ve rocked my Isaac Mizrahi suit from Target and have received numerous compliments from clients and co-workers.) The trick is to mix the inexpensive pieces with expensive designer pieces to integrate the look and add a pop of interest.
