A Conversation, BAZAAR: Joyann King & Tamu McPherson

I was so happy when my friend Joyann King emailed me to ask whether I would be interested in participating in Harper's Bazaar's new web video series A Conversation, BAZAAR. I was left completely flattered when I found out, in a later e-mail, that the series would feature conversations between Bazaar editors and the women who inspire them. Me inspire Joyann? Cheeks tingling, wow! I've always admired her, not only because she's the type of person that instinctively looks out for others; but also because she's super-sharp and is extremely knowledgeable about all things fashionable on the web. Here's our conversation, hope you enjoy. XO, Tamu

Featured in Harper's Bazaar's August Style Q&A

Fun News! I'm featured in Harper's Bazaar's August Style Q&A. Here's a bit of what I confess to my street style alma mater:

HB: DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE IN THREE WORDS

Colorful, mix-n-match, inspired.

HB: STYLE ICON

My mother-in-law Francesca.  She has an incredible sense of style.  Her mother once said she came out of the womb with a certain elegance. 

HB: FIRST FASHION MEMORY

My mother and my aunt dressing me up as a little girl. They changed my outfit and combed my hair multiple times a day.

HB: WHAT WOULD YOU NEVER WEAR?

Never say never.

HB: HAVE YOU EVER WORN ANYTHING THAT YOU LATER REGRETTED?

I've worn a lot of things that I probably should regret. But I've developed a style sense of humor over the years, and I usually laugh off my fashion faux pas.

Pick up the issue with the incredibly gorgeous Rihanna on the cover. You'll find another Style Q&A on one of my favorite style icons Holli Rogers and an awesome editorial styled by my friend Joanna Hillman and shot by another good friend Tommy Ton.

Thank you so much to Christine Whitney for our fun e-mail conversations! And very special thanks to Glenda Bailey, Anamaria Wilson, and Kristina O'neill for featuring me in this month's issue.
