About Hannah:

Hannah Ehman is a true genius when it comes to fashion, and a believer that style is an important aspect of life. I am incredibly impressed with her creative mix of vintage and new, as well as her anything goes attitude.

Age:

14

Hometown:

Timmins, Ontario, Canada, which Hannah explains is a small town of 40,000 in northern Ontario, adding: "Since we don’t have much to do in our town I spend all my time in our Value Village and vintage stores."

What She's Wearing:

A vintage jumpsuit from Sophisticate and a belt from Le Chateau, both of which she bought at Value Village for a total of $7.

Fave Places to Shop:

Hannah explains: "My absolute favorite stores are thrift and vintage stores. They allow me to find truly unique pieces that reflect my rather eccentric personality. I’ve found the most ridiculous dresses and shoes and it’s so exciting trying to make them wearable for real life. I’ve even found a Coach purse, a D&G sweater and Coach shoes at my local Value Village!" Online, Hannah shops at forever21.com, Betseyjohnson.com and Modcloth.com.

Style Icons:

When asked who she admires style-wise, Hannah said: "My style icon would most definitely have to be Tavi Williams of the StyleRookie blog. She pushes the lines of fashion and is not afraid to stand out. She’s wild, extreme and crazy with her style, and isn’t afraid of any trend."

Her Style Advice:

Since Hannah is so original and creative, I had to ask her for some tips. She said: "My advice to teens out there is to have fun with style again! I want everyone to look back to the days of playing dress up and when we all actually enjoyed standing out and feeling outrageous. Life is much too short to wear boring or typical clothes! Clothes are out there to make life more exciting, not to be a burden."
