Real-Life Style Stars

When I saw these sisters Erica and Alexandra Deutschman in matching Pucci scarves having lunch at Saks Fifth Avenue, I had to find out their style secrets. The effortless way that they updated their simple jeans and top outfits with touches of designer-chic accessories made them style stars in my book!

I adore the way that sisters Melissa and Susan Vitale mix colors, patterns and textures for a unique, one-of-a-kind look. Neither of the girls are afraid to try new things, which makes them stand-out style stars.

I really like the way that equestrian rider Rachel Geiger mixes her riding clothes in with fun designer pieces for a fresh mix. Since she owns two horses and shows them competitively, Rachel needs to be able to be active in her clothing, but she still puts together amazing outfits that are reflective of her own personal style.

I just can't get over the way that 18-year-old college freshman Claudia pulls together her basic pieces with such flair. Her jeans and button-down look totally fresh and modern thanks to her funky choice of accessories. And you've gotta love that asymmetrical haircut and mega-watt smile!

I am really enamored with the way college freshman Kara Frisoli takes a polished, ladylike approach to dressing, even at a young age. Whether she's mixing blazers and jeans or layering a cashmere sweater over a tee, Kara makes it all look effortless - and most importantly, it doesn't seem stuffy!

You have to love a girl who can make a budget-friendly outfit look like a million bucks, and that's what is so great about Courtney Marshall's style. Courtney is a fan of vintage stores and thrift shops, yet she puts her look together in a way that feels very of-the-moment.

You don't have to be flashy to be a stylish dresser, and Erica Lewis proves just that. She takes tailored basics and adds a dose of fun with attention-grabbing accessories, but never strays too far into the fad territory.
