BRITT BARDO
FASHION STYLIST
Born in a small Ohio town, Britt studied photography in college before settling on styling. Hard work and determination helped her win gigs…then celebrity clients…then magazines like Elle and Lucky started looking to her as a fashion expert (hello, making your mark!) EXPERT ADVICE: "Listen to your heart," Britt says. "I believe we are all here to make our mark in the world in some big or small—but beautiful—way."

HOW TO SHOP
Raid the kids' departments, shop alone, touch it
1. Shop by yourself or bring along a totally trusted, stylish friend (or your oh-so fashionable mom)
2. Use the three-way mirror. What may look fabulous from the front could look totally drab from the back.
3. Dress/beautify for shopping so you don't look like a troll in the mirrors. Stick with your everyday makeup and jewelry.
4. Set a budget and don't budge!
5. Yeah, you're a junior: so what? If you wear a size 4 or smaller, try shopping in Girls' departments. For all sizes, the Boys' dept. has fabulous basics: tees, buttondowns, sweaters, etc.
6. Try a new store each time at the mall and shop out of your price range (under or over ) to find new looks.
7. Touch, touch touch. Garmentos judge an item by it's "feel."
8. Always try on and makeno exceptions.
9. Don't be in a hurry: allot enough time.
10. Make sure you have on the right undergarments, especially for formal dresses, camisoles, etc.
