For this week’s Stylist Spotlight, we’re getting to know a little bit about stylist Stephanie H. Check out the fun and casual-chic ensemble she put together just for us!

What do you do at Zappos?

S: I am the stylist for all of the casual brands. Sometimes, I become the unofficial studio DJ as well!

What are a couple of fun facts about you? 

S: I have a photographic memory and technically cheat when playing word games or the like. Muahaha! I also like to get people laughing, usually at the expense of making myself look like an idiot.

Describe your personal style:

S: I don't have a set style, but I tend to lean towards softer feminine clothes, lots of peach and nude shades.

What was your last Zappos purchase, or what is your dream purchase?:

S: These days, I'm really digging thigh-high socks and tall boots with short dresses or skirts. I spent a bit too much on several tri-packs of Volcom and Free People knee/thigh highs.

What are your top 4 favorite brands at Zappos.com?

S: BB Dakota, Calvin Klein, BCBGeneration and Splendid
