Closet Envy: Helena Andrews

It’s been a busy year for California-raised, New York-educated, Washington D.C. resident, Helena Andrews. In a matter of months, the former New York Times journalist quit her job as a reporter for Politico.com, published a best-selling novel, began a screenplay for a film based on her book with the help of Shonda Rhimes of “Grey’s Anatomy.” How does all this impact her style? It’s made it as eclectic as her schedule. Read on to see how the author of “Bitch is the New Black” blends brands like Zara, H&M and J.Crew with vintage finds to create a wardrobe that’s at once modern, yet retro.
