Loanna Powell at Yo Sushi
Steal her style: Loanna
Dianne Bourne5/ 8/2008
EVERY week we're out on the style scene, scouting out you fabulous fashionistas. This week, Dianne Bourne quizzed PR assistant at Manchester's Impact Media,
Loanna Powell, 21, from Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, about her cool look.
How would you describe your style?
Kooky with a touch of classic style.
Where did you buy today's outfit and how much did it cost?
Dress: Topshop Christmas sale, £20
Shoes: Reaction by Kenneth Cole, Las Vegas, around £40
Handbag: River Island, £24.99
Pashmina: Primark, £2.50
Who is your style icon?
No one in particular, as I try to be individual. I don't buy items because they are in fashion. I buy them because they compliment my shape and make me look and feel good.
Name your favourite shops.
For pure glamour I go to Karen Millen. River Island also has a good collection of party dresses. I will go to Oxfam Vintage for anything quirky and Primark for anything cheap.
What's your best ever buy?
A little black dress by Marios Schwab for Topshop it was reduced in the sale from £100 to £20. Whenever I'm feeling a little rubbish or don't know what to wear, I put it on and always feel great.
What's your biggest fashion mistake?
I bought a gold sequined Karen Millen dress from Oxfam Vintage for £20. It was very short and had small buttons running down the back. I teamed it with cream leggings and cream shoes - what was I thinking! At the time, I thought I looked the bees' knees. My boyfriend, however, said my dress looked like a Christmas decoration.
How much do you usually spend on clothes each month?
Anything from £30-£100
What item of clothing can't you live without?
A beautiful dress teamed with towering heels and my pashmina.
