Life, Styled

By Lalaena Gonzalez-Figueroa

At an early age, Becca Z. Smith was drawn to fashion. Playing dress up with treasures from her grandparents’ trunk, she delved into the glamour of frilly dresses, charming hats, ladylike handbags, unique jewelry and high-heeled shoes. “I remember how beautiful I felt parading up and down the sidewalk, stumbling in heels five sizes too big,” she reminisces.

She never quite grew out of it. For Becca, the idea of fashion evolved from the simple excitement of a new look, to the significant impact of well-placed pieces. Her passion drove her to explore her own sense of style, and it inspired her to help others express themselves. “I became a fashion stylist because I love its transformative nature,” she reveals. “Through fashion we reveal our personalities.”

Becca’s specialty is in honing a client’s personal style – what she describes as the style that best represents an individual’s qualities, attributes and lifestyle through highly individualized clothing, jewelry, cosmetics and living spaces. She explains, “I am dedicated to fashion and am here to assist women in discovering their own personal styles.” Becca’s goal: to help her clients integrate style into their everyday lives so that they have the confidence that comes from looking their best.

“I help enrich my clients’ lives by teaching that fashion can be joyful and fun,” Becca says. “At the same time, I want them to understand that what they wear speaks volumes about who they are. My clients are sharing in my vision to make a great impression with their unique personal style.”

Her style speaks for itself. “I love European fashion,” Becca smiles. “My favorite is Versace, which epitomizes over-the-top sexiness and glamour. Then there’s my other favorite, Chanel. Who doesn’t like this French high fashion house specializing in haute couture and ready-to-wear clothes, luxury goods and fashion accessories?” She continues, “Coco Chanel catered to a woman’s taste for elegance.” Adding a bit of an edge to her own personal style is Becca’s signature; she reveals that her favorite shoe is a Christian Louboutin leopard red-heeled pump.

Becca’s creativity is showcased in her company, We’ve Got Style, which offers image consulting and closet consultation services. While she revels in the opportunity to assist shoppers in adding to their wardrobe, she also assists clients in eking out new or updated looks with their own existing pieces. She is highly skilled at transforming a closet into a workable, wearable wardrobe that suits individual body types, while honoring each client’s personality and lifestyle. “I cover everything from must-have basics that are the foundation for every great wardrobe, to the accessories that will provide a flawless finish,” she smiles.

“Image matters,” Becca continues. “First impressions – whether positive or negative – are made in an instant. They are strong and they are long lasting.” The implications of personal style, she notes, are substantial. “An individual’s appearance has the potential to strongly influence other people’s perceptions of that person’s personality and financial success, authority and trustworthiness, confidence and intelligence, and even her suitability for hire or promotion,” she observes.

Because she believes in the importance of a positive image, We’ve Got Style has launched the “Beauty for a Cause” campaign, which supports charitable organizations assisting women and children in need throughout the community as well as individuals impacted by breast cancer. “Inner beauty is reflected in our outward appearance,” she muses. “When you discover the balance between inner and outer beauty, you will look and feel sensational all the time.” Of her desire to give back Becca remarks, “As I grow older I discover that I have two hands: one for helping myself and the second for others.”

Becca looks forward to making the world a more beautiful and stylish place, one client at a time.
