Starving Designers Welcome

About MegaStyles

Meghan Stier was a New York fashion editor until she moved to Cambridge, MA and decided to become a doctor. She, along with her new Birkenstock fetish, is working on her post-baccalaureate and has cancelled her Vogue subscription, although she still watches E! sometimes a lot.

She thinks Shakespearean characters make great names for pets, dislikes mesh Chinese slippers, and would like to make homemade mayonnaise one day but wonders if mayonnaise merits such effort.
