Michaela Jedinak returns to give you some fashion advice. While the “Celebrity Style Slam” and ” Red Carpet Reviews” are great when celebrities are out and about, we don’t always get the assistance of a stylist to help us select the best styles for ourselves- nor do we have the time or $$ to go out and buy the things we need. Michaela to the rescue with her
