Campania isn’t the only fashionista in the family, and the shoe has not fallen far from the rack. Her daughter Paisley is often garbed in cool graphic headscarves, heart-shaped sunglasses and leggings to attend to her toddler duties.
“I seriously have way too much fun styling and dressing Paisley,” her mother said. “I was totally meant to have a little girl. She’s all about it, too. I call her my little diva-fashionista. She’s definitely my muse, especially when it comes to my photography.”
>> Describe your look: “I would say versatile and playful. I’m a mix of everything: rocker, edgy, chic, classic, boho, casual. I’ve always loved to play around with different styles and put together items new and old to create something fun and unique.”
>> For a mom-on-the-go: “On a typical day of running errands with Paisley, I’d wear a pair of skinny jeans or cutoff shorts with a relaxed boxy tee or tank and a bandeau underneath. Or I’ll even do a comfy and cute tank dress with an open button-down shirt as an outer layer. I’d pair all that with some rockin’ sunnies, a simple bracelet or necklace, flats and my black-and-white-striped Skip-Hop diaper bag that also has dual use as my camera bag.
“For my makeup I keep it simple: Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue tinted moisturizer with SPF, a little blush, mascara, eyeliner and little lip color. For my hair: I’m so low-maintenance with my hair. I either put it up in a messy top bun or let my lion’s mane roam free.”
>> Shopping tips for little diva-fashionistas: “To be honest, the place that I have found the most of her outfits has been Old Navy. I was so surprised at how much cute clothes they have for children, and their prices are so affordable. I seriously go nuts in there. Another place that I’ve found stylish and edgy items is Babies R Us; they carry a brand by Amy Coe that is rock ’n’ roll influenced and oh so cute. Target is another favorite. … Jeans Warehouse actually has a cute and affordable toddler section.
“Online shops like Etsy are great for handmade items. … I’m always on the hunt for affordable yet good-quality pieces because they grow so fast.”
>> Day-to-night: “A pair of flats or combat boots, a cute rockin’ tee or relaxed tank, a flannel and a pair of black skinny jeans would work from shoot to show. … I do like getting a little more dolled up and edgy at the shows, though. Typically, I’d maybe wear a pair of high-waisted shorts with cute stockings and boots. Maybe even throw on a hat or some type of accessory. I’d definitely have a smaller bag or clutch for my cards and ID and maybe a leather jacket or a cute blazer if I’m feeling fancy.”
>> Favorite wardrobe item: “Even though it doesn’t get much use, I’d have to say my wedding shoes. I’m pretty much obsessed with black and white stripes. So when I found these Chloe Jade Green black-and-white-stripe stilettos with teal soles online at Nordstrom.com, I died! I had to have them. It matched our wedding theme perfectly, and it was so me.”
