GUEST FASHION EDITOR: MONTANA ROSS

Young and stylish Montana Ross believes in investing in staple pieces but loves to pair them with 'hidden gems' from discount stores. The international sales executive for Money Show also pulls inspiration for her style from her worldwide travels.
"I have a feminine and eclectic look. I change my style based on my mood." - Montana Ross
H&M BLAZER
H&M BLAZER "I'm not afraid to pair different and unique color combos. This blazer is feminine but definitely has a little edge."
HERMES SCARF

J BRAND JEANS
J BRAND JEANS "I would wear these every day if I could - they seem to go with everything. I roll them up to wear with flats, or I wear them at night with heels."
JIMMY CHOO SHOES
JIMMY CHOO SHOES "These shoes were my first big splurge after I got my 'adult' job. I love patent and the Mary Jane style."
FOREVER 21 SKIRT
FOREVER 21 SKIRT "This is the perfect example of my love for finding low-cost items. Forever 21 has great finds. I've gotten more wear out of this than anything else in my closet."
NANETTE LEPORE DRESS
NANETTE LEPORE DRESS "I love to wear color, and I love the color and fit of this dress. Fit makes or breaks an outfit - I never buy anything that doesn't fit correctly."
PEARLS

RENE ESCOBAR BRACELETS

SNAKESKIN CLUTCH
SNAKESKIN CLUTCH "I designed this bag while on a trip overseas with my mom. I got to pick out the skin and added the handle. The color is great with any outfit."
TOP SHOP BLAZER
TOP SHOP BLAZER "Everyone should have a classic black blazer in their closet. This goes great over dresses, with skinny jeans or even shorts. The cotton is so light and comfortable, and it's great for traveling."
TOP SHOP DRESS
TOP SHOP DRESS "I found this adorable little piece at the Oxford Street Top Shop, in London. The fabric is so silky soft and lightweight."
TORY BURCH SHOES
TORY BURCH SHOES "I love having accessories in metallics, because you can wear them with anything and they make any outfit pop."
