YQ:Can you tell our readers a little bit about yourself?
Samii Ryan: Samii Ryan, 23, living in Studio City CA! Originally from Bethlehem PA! I am an accessory designer, model and blogger.
YQ: When was the first time you got interested in fashion? Where did the inspiration for fashion come from?
Samii Ryan: I have always been interested in fashion. I was tearing up my shirts, wearing cat collars, and 50 buns in my head when I was in middle school. I was always pushing the edge of things and being creative with my outfits. My inspiration comes from everything around me. I got a little bit of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and a little Kim K, then a little Amber Rose. Mix that all up and you got Samii Ryan.
YQ: You and Alysha Nett are the creators of a personal style blog called The Bleached Niche. You two are very unique and bold young women. How would you describe your style?
Samii Ryan: I would describe my style as chic street wear. Some days I go out wearing a men’s street wear tee and some pumps, and other days I am in a fitted bodycon dress with some crazy chunky heels.
YQ: What sets your style apart from other personal style bloggers?
Samii Ryan: What sets my style apart from other bloggers is that I am different than what everyone else has seen. I am unique from my hair to my tattoos, to my style. I have never seen it on anyone else, so it’s very Samii Ryan.
YQ: What are some of your favorite boutiques that you always visit in your area or when you go shopping?
Samii Ryan: I love street wear so I wear a lot of Crooks n Castles, Stamped LA, Married To The Mob, Beinhabited, Civil and some random vintage band tees. I also love SHOES. So I am obsessed with Lola Shoetique and UrbanOG.
YQ: What is your favorite outfit you posted so far?
Samii Ryan: I love the look I did at the Disney Concert hall; it was from For Love and Lemons. The top and bottom was like a black knit fabric and I styled it with some By Samii Ryan earrings, and some chunky Jeffrey Campbell boots that resemble timberlands. So into it!
YQ: Your hairstyle rocks! How do you keep it so fresh? Where did you get the hairspiration from?
Samii Ryan: Thank you! I get my hair cut every 2 weeks at Proper Barbershop in Hollywood by Dylan Johnson. My original hair stylist was Matt Starner in Stroudsburg PA; he pretty much created my look. My hair inspiration ranges anywhere from Amber Rose to Miley Cyrus. I just make it my own.
YQ: You are also a jewelry designer. We can see your amazing jewelry line on bysamiiryan.com. When was the first time you became interested in designing jewelry and how did that happen?
Samii Ryan: I started making feather pieces in 2009, after I graduated high school and it took off. Kesha, Victoria Justice, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Lucy Hale, Debby Ryan all wear my items. So I got a lot of buzz from them, which I am so grateful for. I love creating jewelry because it is like the toppings on the ice cream for your outfit! I started working with Nordstrom, Inked Mag Shop and Nylon Shop selling my items.
YQ: What would your typical client look like? What kind of a sense of style would she have?
Samii Ryan: My typical client is anyone who is a badass babe who wants to express themselves by wearing some awesome jewelry. Anyone can wear By Samii Ryan, and when you wear it you have such a swagged out vibe, it’s very girl power driven.
YQ: Who are the most stylish celebrities that you admire? Can you name five of them for us?
Samii Ryan: I’m loving Kylie Jenner right now and Rihanna always. I don’t really look at celebrities for fashion inspiration. I like to combine my own style with a little tweak from other badass babes.
YQ: Which winter trends do you love and which do you hate?
Samii Ryan: I hate UGG boots forever! LOL
YQ: Do you have any piece of advice for this winter season, what are the most absolute must haves?
Samii Ryan: I love, love, love tan/camel pea coats, they are so chic, clean and fun. Pair it with high wasted jeans, pointed toe pumps, By Samii Ryan jewelry and a crop top, and you have an awesome look!
