Our Style Star for the month is 14-year-old Jaida Benjamin, an actress and singer with a unique sense of fashion. In this installment, Jaida shares some of her essential style picks, and gives a few tips on how to create a signature look.


1.) Simple-Chic!  A pair of jeans &#038; a simple white ruffled top can be completed by simply adding a pair of flats or classy heels.  Take Selena Gomez&#8217;s style for an example: CLICK
Over-Accessorizing is not the key.  A big necklace &#038; big earrings do not in any way complete an outfit; it makes it look cluttered &#038; viewers don&#8217;t know which part of your outfit to focus on!  Accessories have a way of fooling us on thinking that there&#8217;s no limit to their usage, when there is.  You don&#8217;t need clutters of jewerly on to be a 10!
 2.) Pearls.  Whether they&#8217;re fake or real, long or short, pearls are classy &#038; state a mature, sophisticated &#038; dainty side to everyone.  Pearls go well with relaxed, simple or classy looks, so if you&#8217;re going for a punk-rock look then adding pearls isn&#8217;t recommended.
3.) Huge Scarves!  Huge scarves are not only extremely fashionable but the fact that they&#8217;re huge gives you leisure to tie them around your neck in many ways!
4.) Light cosmetic looks.  Once you cross over to the &#8220;teens&#8221;, make-up may become a new addiction &#038; addition to your life, but as it&#8217;s glamorous &#038; makes anyone look like a new person, you better not let it clog your pores!  To stay on the safe side of cosmetics, a simple swish of light blush, long-lasting lip gloss &#038; mascara is usually acceptable to anyone.  Too much of anything is not good for you!  (The last thing you want is for your parents to become anti-make-up because of your large usage) 
Fabulous examples of how make-up should be worn on occasion:

Casual (everyday) cosmetic examples:

When wearing make-up, you also have to make sure you&#8217;re using healthy products for your skin that don&#8217;t cause acne.  It&#8217;s tough to find the perfect cosmetic brand for you and your skin, but the search is well worth it for a natural but glamorous &#038; sophisticated look that allows your Inner Beauty to shine through as well.
A few great cosmetics: MAC, NARS, Clinique, Bare Minerals, Benefit, Bare Essentials, Hard Candy, and Sephora.  Make-up can be quite expensive, so always start off with a little to save money (such as a lip gloss, a mascara, a blush color), then as time goes by you can buy more.  You must also have a good make-up remover, which you can get anywhere (Target, Sephora).  Remember:  Don&#8217;t become a slave to make-up and believe that you must always wear it.  To be simple, just a swipe of lip gloss and light mascara can get you far!
 5.) Uggs!  Now that it&#8217;s winter for some of us, Uggs seem to be the main thing flying off shelves.  A great pair of warm &#038; comfortable boots for the Winter is critical.  They come in a bunch of colors &#038; never go out of style! (Official Site: http://www.uggaustralia.com/index.aspx) 
6.) Trench Coats!  Trench coats are long, comfortable &#038; completely fashionable.  They go perfectly with Uggs &#038; long scarves that I mentioned before.  Any color looks great on anyone, so don&#8217;t discriminate!  Broaden your horizons and go for an unusual yellow or a green. :)
