Name Dropping with Designer CC Skye

"Some favorite celebrity fans of the brand are Sienna Miller, Lindsay Lohan, Taylor Momsen, Fergie, Rihanna and Gwen Stefani," designer CC Skye tells me. That's an impressive list of fashionistas! CC gives me tips to flip your wardrobe on a dime, dishes some of the best advice she's ever gotten, and tells me three things everybody should have in their closet:

For CC, inspiration comes in many forms. "Certain people's personalities and individual style inspire me to create pieces reflective of them," she says. Music and retro fashions also from the 70's and 80's "definitely inspires the line today," she adds.

Defining her own style as a combination of bohemian and vamp, she says 3 things everyone should have in their wardrobe are: "Great sunglasses, a good pair of boots and your favorite pair of jeans."

If you want to give an old outfit a new look, it's all about the accessories: "Layering vintage pieces with newer trends is a great way to revamp your look," CC says. "Layering is one of the best looks right now and it adds versatility in accessing older parts of your wardrobe."

While she's excited to launch her Spring bags and is looking forward to new things, "I have so many good people in my life and am blessed to do what I love, and love what I do."

Ultimately, this mirrors some of the best advice she says she's ever gotten, from her father. "My dad always says if you're going to do it, do it right," she says. "Be good to people and ultimately do what you want. There is no "˜love' in should."
