NAME: N’dine Drame

AGE: 36

NEIGHBORHOOD/TOWN: Marietta

OCCUPATION: Aesthetican and makeup artist at O Aesthetics Medical Spa

SIGNATURE STYLE: New York edge mixed with European classy

WHAT I’M WEARING: Teresa Shapiro vintage ’80s jacket from Ditto boutique in Vinings, Claudia Reis skirt purchased in Drame’s native Germany, shoes by Joy and vintage Chanel clutch.

ATLANTA STYLE IS … : “a mix of Southern hospitality on the verge of New York fashion.”

BEST FIND: “My future wedding dress. It’s very simple, off-white and extremely long and has a Grecian style. The kind of dress you would accessorize with fabulous Manolo Blahniks and a simple pearl necklace.”

A WEAKNESS: “Shoes. My favorite shoes are Christian Dior shoes that I can’t wear anymore because I have worn them one too many times. They are basic black shoes with an extremely high stiletto heel, and they match every one of my outfits.”

A FASHION PET PEEVE: “The worst thing would be when you see people with their hair and nails done but everything else is off.”

STANDOUT FASHION MOMENT: “As a child, my mother hired a seamstress because I would sketch out little outfits and the seamstress would make them.”

FAVORITE STORES: Tracy Nicole, Shiami Doors and Ditto boutique

FAVORITE LABELS: “I’m definitely into Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci. Other than that, it doesn’t matter the price or the label as long as it fits.”

BIGGEST SPLURGE: “A Versace belt that I purchased about 13 years ago. It is still fabulous. It has the Versace emblem and it looks like a chain. You can wear it as a necklace, bracelet or belt. I purchased it in Europe, but I think it was about $800.”
