10 Pieces of Advice to Take Away From Simply Stylist LA

We’ve dragged it on for as long as we could, but today marks the end of #SimplyStylistLA (for 2016, at least!). Although we will still talk about it here and there, our obsession with all of the amazingness that occurred on that Saturday has to be pushed aside so we can start prepping for…. CHICAGO! We don’t want to get too ahead of ourselves, but there is no denying that our gears are switching from LA to CHI-town as we prepare to do it all again in the windy city! With Simply Stylist Chicago in the far off distance, we wanted to take the time to look at some of our favorite moments from Simply Stylist LA before fully focusing all of our attention on our Chicago Boss Babes! From Tyra Banks’ inspiring talks to Scotty Cunha’s hilarious one-liners, #SimplyStylistLA is going down as one of our favorites!
