" Hey, everyone! It&amp;#039;s nice to meet you; my name is Stephanie. I&amp;#039;m so happy and excited about this new blog, and being able to  speak to all of you. Thanks, Seventeen \u2014 you&amp;#039;re the bomb! Woo-hoo!  When I imagine a council, I think of older men in powdered wigs from back in the day striking a gavel and saying &amp;quot;Hear, hear.&amp;quot; Although I&amp;#039;d love a reason to wear the wig and get to yell stuff out, this council is a little different./&amp;amp;gt; Talking about fashion is such a blast, and I think it should always be that way. Once you start overthinking your style it becomes something else, something artificial. It&amp;#039;s supposed to be fun, people! That being said, I also believe that style and fashion are about emotion, there is so much power in image. One of my favorite authors, Oscar Wilde, said: &amp;quot;Illusion is the first of all pleasures.&amp;quot; Some designers I enjoy are, of course, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Jacobs, Alexander Wang, Alexander McQueen, and Balenciaga, to name a few, and I have love and respect for many mislabled &amp;quot;streetwear&amp;quot; designers out there as well. I&amp;#039;m influenced and inspired by the images that have stuck with me throughout my life, from decades of fashion, movies, music, and, of course, from the great creations of designers. Who wouldn&amp;#039;t want to wear lace and hats and run through a Secret Garden, or wear stripes and leather like Debbie Harry, or wear flowers in their hair and shake it? I would ... I think I already have. Thank you all for reading, I&amp;#039;d love to hear what you think about my blog \u2014 give me your feedback, and tell me about your style!
