New to Style Files – Diane Aiello

Afm August issue

As I sit here at my computer I am reliving that first- day- of -school excitement, pencils sharpened, lunchbox packed (well, that is if you can count a package of almonds and a very tragic tasting half eaten protein bar as a lunch) new pad of paper, a bejeweled calculator….. ok, maybe I digress, but you see it’s my very first posting and I am brimming with delight at putting manicure to keyboard. If you are an avid Arizona Foothills Magazine reader (and I know that you are) you have seen the fruits of my labor in print and maybe noticed my name a time or two, but up until now I have been a behind the scenes kinds of girls, you know…gooo team!!!

For nearly a decade, fresh off my previous decade of photo shoot jet setting and a stint in the big apple, I returned back to the metro area and have been fortunate enough to be part of the crew who brings you those fab fashion spreads, covers and delectable beauty and fashion bites that you see each month in the glossy pages of AFM. Over the years we have become quite the well oiled machine and really what better gig could a gal have than perusing racks of designer garb each month and putting it all together from those glossy lips to the Louboutin adorned toes?

Aside from my uber sweet gig at AFM I moonlight and daylight at my own little den of beauty Glam Lounge (shameless self promotion – yes, we are the place where your friends find the same beauty loot that Barney’s, Bendels and Bergdorf’s carries along with darn good facials, lash extensions, makeup and waxing too!) and in between it all I still do editorial, advertising and catalog gigs just for the love of the game (ok, did I just really quote a Kevin Costner movie title in my first posting? scratch that … sorry that was just first day jitters, please don’t judge!!!) My head (and mouth) is generally overflowing with style trivia and fashion randomness…which can make for some good water cooler chat and hopefully delightful posts… some day remind me to tell you about my shoot with The Sartorialist himself Scott Shuman and the ever French and chic Garance Dore for Italian Glamour….it was divine!

In any case, I am beyond- the- beyond excited to share with you in the coming days musings on fashion, beauty and a variety of delicious couture and maybe not so couture things I covet , how to’s and anything a slightly obsessed fashion chick could or would want to dish about. So this week don’t miss my love/hate tips on the two denim trends of the summer, the rock and roll bling of one of my fav jewelers Beth Church, a few beauty musts that no one should be without in August and more! Until next time – xo Diane
