After interning for the Wardrobe Department at CBS's Entertainment Tonight and The Insider, I sat down one-on-one with celebrity stylist, Anya Sarre. From a young age, Anya knew she wanted to pursue a career that combined fashion and entertainment - something that's not easy to come by. With a lot of work and Anya's "relentless perseverance" her dream came true. She received her Bachelor's degree from USC and continued her education at Parsons The New School for Design. "I was a sloppy gluer," Anya chuckled, "but I was a natural born draper."

What inspires Anya?
"I'm like a kid in a candy store when I'm at a fabric store." The color combinations, patterns, and textures of fabrics fuel her to create new looks and designs. While she's inspired by fabric, Anya is motivated by knowing she makes a difference in other people's lives - by making them look their greatest.

What does Anya love most about what she does?
"I love what I do because I never look at the clock." She never feels like she's at work or at a job because of her passion for styling and the entertainment industry.

What is the craziest thing Anya has ever done as a stylist?
While Anya was in New York a few years ago meeting with designers, she got an unexpected call. Anya had to shop for Anna Nicole Smith (without knowing the right size), fly to the Bahamas (without having her passport on-hand), and dress Ms. Smith. Little did Anya know, it would be Anna Nicole Smith's last interview. In the styling world, this is pretty crazy.
What is one article of clothing that means a lot to Anya?
"I remember what I wear to every thing, but the most important part of my wardrobe is the black Moschino sweater I was wearing the night I got engaged." The sweater has pearls along the neckline with a velvet bow. Anya loves this sweater, but she loves it even more now. For Anya, this sweater is more than just a sweater - it resembles a life changing moment.

If Anya could have any super power it would be making every wish she wanted come true. She would also like to have more conversations with her grandmother who was an interior designer. Anya cannot live without her secret mascara combo. Her guilty pleasures are sour candy (she's unfortunately allergic to chocolate) and spray tans.
Anya Sarre is more than just a celebrity stylist. She has her own Looks for Less segment on TheInsider.com and she's the fashion correspondent for Entertainment Tonight's trend tracker segment. Anya is the Chief Accessories and Handbag Stylist for ShoeDazzle, the Style Editor for LiveDress, she's in the process of designing her own clothing line, writing a book and would love to have her own perfume.
Now that you know a little bit about Anya Sarre, here's her advice for aspiring stylists: work hard (and for free), never look at the clock, focus on what you love, never give up and surround yourself with amazing people.
