When I 1st met Stania of Miss Sassy it was about 3 years ago in DC. We were both stylists for a fashion/shopping event in DC and we immediately clicked over vintage fashion and inspiring/empowering (young) women. Today, she is still one of the most stylish and genuinely sweet women I’ve met through blogging. Based in NOVA (Northern Virginia), Stania has a true passion for fashion. She knows how to dress her body, style others, and has a big heart. The Haitian-born fashionista also enjoys mentoring young women. Check out the rest of her interview below and be sure to visit her blog, Miss Sassy.

Regular exercise (3-4 times a week) and get plenty of sleep. I am very good at creating a balance between my social and professional life. I know when to take time out for myself to recharge and refocus.
