Hey guys I'm Shay Mitchell.
I'm an actress, entrepreneur, beauty junkie, and frequent flier.
I've been juggling work and travel for quite some time
and along the way, I've picked up some secrets.
In this series, I'll be opening up my little black book
to share some of the people and practices that
help make my life a little bit easier.
I am so excited to take you behind the scenes
and bring you guys into my world.

I have always been obsessed with fashion.
Since I was young
because I was always watching this show called
Fashion Television which I now
guess is only in Canada.
It would always show the new runway looks of the season
and I just loved watching and seeing what people were creating.
So now being in this industry
and going to different public events
and red carpets,
I really do get to play around with all of the
great fashion of our day
and its just fun, you know, I really don't
take it too seriously because I think that it's meant
to be fun.
My style is really always evolving
so I may like something one day and not like it the next.
But I love seeing peoples individual styles
no matter how normal or crazy or out there
they are- I love that.
I like dressing up.
Definitely.
Sorry, I thought this was like a speed round
for a second so I was like, "Dressing up!"
"Next!'
I'm a big fan of costumes
when it comes to, you know, my job.
And also it allows me to feel
a different way when I'm on the carpet.
You know, when you borrow a beautiful dress.
Love that, it's like cinderella.
So way back when
like good and bad.
I wanna start with bad first.
Well not bad, it was cute back in the day
and I think I felt like Tyra Banks
back then but
I was going to the Paris
Pirates of the Caribbean premiere-
Ashley Benson and I.
I thought I would dress in theme to the movie
so I was on the look out for more of a pirate-y
type dress.
We were just really excited to be there.
There were free churros on the carpet
and it was the best.
My favorite
red carpet fashion moment-
Honestly, yes the dress was
really stunning but more so
it was such a memorable experience,
was the Mother's Day carpet that I did
because my family came.
My grandma was there and I made her come out
on the carpet with me.
I love this photo, I literally brought her out and was like,
"Okay, do your best Marilyn Monroe impression." She was like,
So I would say some of my
looks from this past New York Fashion week was
the Kelly and Ryan show.
I would say the VMA's look, I wore this
beaded orange dress.
I actually
got a car that I could stand in, it was
like one of those party busses because
I couldn't sit in the dress.
So I showed up to the carpet in a party bus.
Things you do for fashion.
I do.
Monica Rose, my fairy god sister.
when it comes to style.
I started working with Monica
this year actually and we first met on
a photoshoot that I did with my makeup artist Patrick Ta.
Monica is so talented
in the things that she pulls and just
how she puts them together.
And she is truly a magician when it comes to
clothing and fashion and styling.
So today we are actually going to a fitting-
We, you and me.
Because I am going to be getting ready for Paris Fashion Week.
I am very excited about this fitting because
Louis Vuitton, which is the show that I am attending
in Paris, sent over some really really beautiful
pieces that I can't wait to see and try on.
Buh-bye.
I love this!
This is so cool!
I just love how it's so dramatic.
So, I mean, this can be for dinner or
Totally casual for dinner.
Yeah, totally casual.
Show up outside the other show like, "Oh hello!"
I mean it's so good.
It really is.
And then we'll try some sunglasses.
I kind of feel like I'm a fashion matrix.
I was about to say the same thing!
So I have this thing called a mirror face
and it really is just that.
When I look at anybody normally face to face
I have normal face.
Next look!
I love this!
Oh, the mirror face, that means she likes it.
Mirror face!
Let's try these.
This is fun.
I like this a lot.
And you can either scrunch the boots down-
It's kinda cute a little scrunched up.
Yeah I like that.
This is called the flamingo.
When you're testing out each heel.
Gotta go, gotta go! No photos please!
I think what I love the most about
styling you is that you become the character.
100%. Now I'm like Jenny from the block.
So like, you can tell when somebody's
style when they're wearing something.
'Cause right now in my mind I'm a hip hop, Parisian, French star.
"Yo yo, bonjour!"
(speaks French)
No!
But I think that's what's so great about fashion
is that you like play with it and have fun with it.
I love this so much!
I love this look!
This is what I'm talking about when I say that Monica
can literally like change a whole outfit
because this dress as I will show you in
a few minutes, without the belt or the jacket
or anything
doesn't really look like this.
This one is very predictable because
it goes with everything but I kind of
am feeling this bag.
I mean you can definitely take both and
see what you're feeling but I love
this one.
I didn't think I would with this look but I'm not
I'm not mad at it.
It's so cute.
I think the backpack wins.
And I love how we mix vintage with this.
Like the vintage Versace belt.
First day in Paris.
Just airport, no big deal.
This is just a casual getting off the airplane look.
So this is after Monica styled and this is
what it looked like before.
Hey guys welcome to pass fashion week.
We are here today.
Literally though, if you needed a picnic blanket I could just
sit here.
This was actually our first shoot.
This was the first look that we did.
And like this was a dress and
then I tucked it under and
added this little vintage-
Changed the whole look.
I loved it so much.
I made it on the wall a few times.
Of course!
Oh my gosh but honestly my favorite thing about
coming to this studio is just seeing all the shoes.
it's literally like Carrie Bradshaw.
Before I just had them all folded over.
and I never knew what I had so I just kept buying
the same thing over and over and the
next thing you know I had like 6 velvet black boots.
They're all different.
Okay you need
12 pairs of just red knee high boots.
'Cause duh.
Why are we hiding these shoes?
These need to be on their own little pedestal.
These little guys are my favorite.
They are the cutest little barbie shoes that I
attempted to wear one time but didn't
get a chance to wear them.
Too many looks.
That's the problem.
Alright guys, so there you have it.
Stay tuned to see the rest of my looks in Paris.
But for now, I have to continue with this fitting
