Introduce yourself!
R: I’m Raven Roberts from Los Angeles, CA and I’m a Wardrobe Stylist and Fashion Blogger.
What is your style philosophy?
R: Wear what you like and own it.
How would you describe your sense of style?
R: I enjoy combining vintage pieces with high end pieces. I love thrift and vintage shopping.
What is the process of deciding what to wear in the morning?
R: I usually check the weather and go from there. Sometimes I have a piece that I will work the rest of my outfit around.
What are the three favorite things in your closet?
R: My Emporio Armani Silk Red Coat from Council of Jewish Women Thrift, a Vintage Orange Red Coat also from Council of Jewish Women Thrift, and my Black and Silver Gladiator Sandals purchased from Ross or Marshall’s years ago.

How long have you been natural?
R: Almost 4 years.
How and why did you transition into natural hair?
R: I started perming my hair again when I moved to the humid climate of Florida, and I always knew I’d return to natural hair once I moved from Tallahassee. So after my 25th birthday I decided I had had my last perm. I “transitioned” for about 2 months, then big chopped on Aug 10, 2010.
What is your signature hairstyle?
