No worries! We asked Rona O’Connor herself and she put together a collection of beauty and fashion items that’ll really make your red ‘do standout in a good way!

A Tour Of Cynthia Rowley’s Closet

imageCynthia Rowley took control over how she dressed at four years old when she decided that she would only wear a pink tutu and an oversized cardigan. This sweet image however, does not belie the fact that she is a rebel, the first to cross many lines and break the ice for her two younger brothers growing up.


She started sewing at the age of seven and the rest is history, beginning with the moment Cynthia clicked her first pair of shiny heels, packed a U-Haul while chanting ‘I can always go home’ and fled to New York City from the suburbs of Chicago.


As fearless as she was green, Cynthia’s first showroom was in a loft on Varick and 7th Avenue, where she ‘thought’ she was in the garment center but was in Tribeca. The next was at 550 7th Avenue, which was actually on Fashion Avenue and where Cynthia vividly remembers a heightened level of awestruck when she found herself riding in an elevator for the first time with Oscar de la Renta.

Celebrity Style – Jamie Chung

imageJamie Chung is more than just a promising movie star; her taste in fashion is out of this world. Chung, the daughter of Korean immigrants, grew up in San Francisco where her love for the arts developed.

She became involved with the drama club at her local high school was pushed towards classical academics by her parents. She received a degree in economics but it was never something she was really passionate about. After struggling as a student to pay the rent and for school, she landed a part on The Real World after an encounter at a sports bar where she worked.


After her dabble into reality TV, she got an agent, went to acting classes, and eventually landed a part in the soap opera Days of Our Lives. She has since starred in Sucker Punch and will be featured in the new hit comedy, Hangover II.


She describes her style as ‘dressing appropriately for the occasion’ wearing anything from simple tank tops to beautiful evening gowns. Her style is edgy, adding her own touch to the classic Hollywood glamour.


She can always be spotted sporting the latest designs from Rodarte to Alexander Wang, looks that she describes as ‘outside of the box.’ Her simple additions to her ensemble, such as a simple silver ring or a brass bracelet, add a whole new level of elegance to her style.


However, even with her good looks and her great success, she is still humble. She takes every day as it comes and believes in making the most of what you are given because that is all you can do.
