Meet the TFW 2014 It Girls: Aly and Eve

We asked our TFW 2014 It Girls to answer a few questions so that we could get to know them better. Check out their answers below.

Follow Aly's Instagram - @alyjay_g
1. Tell us a little about yourself. Where are you from, how old are you, how did you first hear about TFW, and what are your plans for the next year?

I was born in Mesa, AZ. We lived in Las Vegas until I was around 7, and then moved to Tucson, where I was raised. I am now 18 and just graduated high school. Last year I started to hear things about TFW and kept asking myself how do I become a part of this? I then liked the Facebook page and continuously checked the blog website patiently waiting for the moment they would say they needed models. In the next year I plan on working, taking Pima classes along the way, continuing my model experience, and representing TFW.


2.How would you describe your personal style?

I'm rather casual. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of gal, but I like to add some retro sass.

3. Who's your style icon/personal It Girl?

My personal fashion icon is Chriselle Lim. She started out as a stylist, turned personal style blogger, turned YouTuber. I absolutely adore her. She is one stylish, classy, and chic young woman.

4. Let's talk about favorites: Food? Book? Music? Accessory? Beauty Trend?

Food: My grandma's stuffed peppers. So good!

Book: The whole Harry Potter series. It sounds really nerdy, but I love it.

Music: I enjoy all genres of music. I listen to a variety of artists. I rock out to some Metallica and when I'm feeling artsy, I listen to Young the Giant. To soothe me, I go for some Michael BublĂ© and then fan girl over boy bands.

Beauty trend: Love a coral/orange lip!

5. How does living in Tucson influence your style?

It's just a matter of dressing for climate. I wear shorts and skirts a lot but that's not a problem. I like showing off my long legs.

6. How did you first start modeling?

Modeling was always a thought in the back of my mind but I didn't get serious about wanting to model until a couple of years ago. I didn't know where to start but luckily my school had a fashion and modeling board program. I joined my last year of high school and it has opened many doors for me.

7. What would be your dream modeling job?

I think my dream modeling job, like most girls, would have to be Victoria's Secret. I mean who doesn't want to be a VS model?

1. Tell us a little about yourself. Where are you from, how old are you, how did you first hear about TFW, and what are your plans for the next year? 

I am twenty-four from Adelaide Australia, I came to Tucson 2009 to swim on the University of Arizona’s swim team and study a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography. I fell in love straight away with Arizona, the heat, sunshine, nature, and lifestyle all suited my personality and being. I actually first heard about TFW on Instagram. I saw the post and decided to give it a go. After recently graduating and completing my swimming commitments, with a new freedom and a lot more time I’m openly and actively seeking out new opportunities in the next year that will lead me to future goals.  

 2.How would you describe your personal style?
I would describe my personal style as being true to myself, what I feel comfortable in and what works for me in the moment.

3. Who's your style icon/personal It Girl?

I have many style icons a few are Erin Wasson, Jennifer Hawkins, Elle Macpherson and Grace Kelly.

4. Let's talk about favorites: Food? Book? Music? Accessory? Beauty Trend?

Food: I like to eat clean; lately I've been adding quinoa into many of my salads. 

Book: Plain and Simple by Sue Bender.

Music- that’s too hard for me I love music and have too many favorites. 

Accessory: I love Native American jewelry, I have a 1960 large turquoise stone Navajo bracelet that I love to wear, it’s very special to me. 

Beauty Trend: working out is my number one I love feeling healthy and strong.   

5. How does living in Tucson influence your style?

I've always been a desert child but the South West has influenced me with the unique beauty that it has to offer, I love the influence of the Native American community and I actively collect their art.

6. How did you first start modeling?

I've always liked being in front of the camera from a young age.

7. What would be your dream-modeling job?

My dream modeling job would be traveling the world and getting to a level that I would be working with very talented people in their fields from designers to photographers and parts of fashion industry.

It Girl: Edie Sedgwick

American actress, socialite, and model Edie Sedgwick is best known as the muse of the famous artist, Andy Warhol, Sedgwick acted in several of his films and was often photographed with him. Her signature waif-like looks were heightened by her smoldering kohl-lined eyes and bright blonde pixie cut. Her trademark style consisted of the mini dresses that were so popular in the 1960s, black leotards, and long chandelier earrings.  Fulfilling the role of muse, artist, and inspiration that has become the purview of the It Girl, Edie Sedgwick is certainly a classic.

If there was ever a girl who had "It," it was Jane Birkin, am English singer and actress who rose to iconic status during the 1960s and 1970s. Birkin was well known for her stunning beauty and her fresh and effortless sense of style. Jane Birkin inspired the iconic Birkin bag by Hermès, still the most coveted of designer handbags to this day. With her signature bangs, showstopping blue eyes, an easy style that captured the aesthetics of a decade, Jane Birkin is perhaps the reigning queen of the It Girls.

It Girl: Olivia Palermo

On Monday we explored a classic It Girl's iconic style with French beauty, Brigitte Bardot. Today we're taking a look at modern day It Girl, Olivia Palermo. Palermo caught the world's eye when she was cast as the beautiful and privileged "frenemy" on reality television show The City. But what really stuck with us was Palermo's impeccable taste and beautiful sense of style. Since her stint as a television star, Olivia Palermo has continued to take the fashion world by storm, either as a model, blogger, or designer muse. Inspiring major cases of hair envy and many a style inspiration board on Pinterest, Olivia Palermo is certainly a 21st century It Girl.
