STYLIST OF THE MONTH: APRIL 2011
Today is a very special day in Penny Chic land. We are launching a new feature where we will showcase a guest stylist every month who takes on the challenge of styling looks with Wal-Mart clothes. These aren’t your average stylists like me…or say, me. These are professional celeb, editorial, and commercial stylists, who have agreed to guest style for Penny Chic. I figured you might be sick of my taste, not to mention it’s nice to have a day off every once and a while.
I introduce you to Djuna Bel, Miss April.
A little background: she’s styled for European fashion magazines like L’uomo Vogue and l’Officiel, where she’s dressed french superstar, Charlotte Gainsbourg, America’s sweetheart, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and British rapper, MIA. Not too shabby I’d say. Check out her portfolio here to get a better sense of her aesthetic and past work. Or better yet, WATCH the BEHIND THE SCENES video we made below where Djuna talks about her styling philosophy. It’s our first ever video. You’ll be seeing more videos in the future as we launch CHIC TV (where this video will live permanently).
A little about today’s outfits: Djuna went for a Striped theme, which makes all four ensembles flow well together, as if they were from the same collection of a runway show. Which one’s your favorite?

This is a great idea! stripes are some of my favorite patterns. The looks are great, but the first one is especially fab! keep up the good work!
Here I go back to walmart again found the dress on line and now looking for the sweater will be nice to have on these nice spring days
Yea, I found the sweater in store but if you go to Walmart they usually have some animal print cardigans around so keep your eyes peeled. Thanks for reading Brandi! xoxo
