Meet Grasie Mercedes, the blogger behind Style Me Grasie who’s also a working actress out in L.A. (perhaps you’ve seen her on Masters of Sex or All My Children?). Here wearing Tory’s Gigi shoe, Mercedes took some time out from her busy schedule — she’s also active in the improv scene — to chat fashion and Beyoncé fantasies.
My story…
I’m an actress and lifestyle blogger from New York City who lives in L.A. I started blogging about six years ago when I was styling part-time in between acting jobs. After about three years I started making a living from my blog (which was surprising!) and now I’m a full time actress/blogger!
My style…
Fun, casual and cool. Whatever I feel like wearing on any given day is my style. :)
My top shoe tip…
I love statement shoes! Colorful pumps, animal-print heels and retro sneakers are my favs! I love flats or a tall heel, and thick heels are currently my obsession.
Best fashion advice received…
Well, she never actually gave me advice but instead I learned from example: My mom has the best style and her wardrobe when I was a child was epic. She taught me to love color and prints and to wear whatever makes me feel great.
What I love about the Gigi…
I love all the colors and different textures it come in, and the heel is perfection.
If I could walk in somebody else’s shoe for a day…
Beyoncé on tour! I would love to be able to dance, sing and perform like her for one night on a massive stage. That would be amazing.
