Bevello introduces Natalie! Let’s see what bevello’s only brunette has to say about fashion and life! Natalie brings an artistic and friendly aura to bevello!
Q: What drew you to bevello? (why did you want to work for us)
A: I came in to shop once or twice and realized that I’d be in the shop 24/7, so I might as well try and get paid to be there! I liked the raw materials (clothes and accessories), but what really won me over was how genuine and friendly everyone in the store was.
Q: Other than bevello what else do you do?
A: I do a bit of intern work for the North Carolina Museum of Art in the communications and development departments. On my time off I enjoy reading, writing, cleaning and reorganizing my apartment, conning my friends into cooking for me (heh), playing wii trivia and going out in Raleigh. I’m also on a flag football team called “watch your grass” with some of my college buddies. I am terrible.
Q : Describe your personal style?
A: It depends on my mood! I’m a big t-shirt and jeans girl, but when I decide to get dressed up I tend to go toward either “naughty pilgrim” type pieces (conservative, clean lines with small splashes of color or unexpected elements) or Bohemian, light pieces with boots. I have a weak spot for plaid too! I had everyone wear plaid out to the bars for my 22nd birthday. It looked ridiculous, but the pictures are priceless.

Q: What is your favorite in house(bevello) designer?
A: I love the Trinity tops because they are so soft…and organic! I also like Frenzii because feels so effortless…aaahh.
A frenzii dress that Natalie owns and loves!
Q: What is your favorite other designer( non-bevello)
A: In my dream world, I wear a mix of Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren Black Label, always with Christian Louboutin heels. In the real world, I tend to stick to a mix of JCrew and urban outfitters, still yummy.
Q: What do you see being big for fall?
A: With all luck cowboy boots will still be big because I recently invested in some beautiful Justin’s and I plan on wearing them regardless.

Q: What do you think the worst fashion mistake a girl could make is?
A: Derrière crack exposure from too low jeans and too high top. Yuck. Yuck, but everyone’s done it.
Q: What is a fashion staple you believe every girl should have in her closet?
A: Everyone needs a good, solid pair of black patent closed-toe heels and solid, slimming jeans in a medium wash. Also a crisp white business shirt…yum.
Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: Good question. I’m still figuring that out. I want to do something where I can be creative and detail-obsessed at the same time!
Q: Who is your celebrity fashion icon? Why?
A: Right now I love Leighton Meester. She pulls off conservative and funky at the same time. I love everything Mischa Barton does, but I can’t pull off the same looks because I love cheese fries too much. Sigh. I also, like any good Southern girl from Winston-Salem, love the classics: Jackie, Audrey, Grace and Elizabeth T.
Q: what is your favorite item online right now and why?
A: http://www.bevello.com/product-p/f18302.htm. Plum Purple Floral and Crochet Tank. Duh. Love it.
