It had been so long since I featured an It Girl, I figured it was high time to post a gal who could lend us some serious inspiration on a chilly fall Tuesday. So let’s talk about Emily Weiss. You might know her as the founder and editor of the über-glam beauty blog Into the Gloss. If you’re a reality TV junkie and weren’t living under a rock circa 2007, you might also recognize her as the “super intern” on The Hills. Unsurprisingly, the internship at Teen Vogue eventually led to a gig at Vogue, which eventually led to her founding ITG.
In any case, girlfriend’s got some serious style. While I can’t get behind all of it (while she rocked them, I still don’t understand these bleach dyed jeans…), I do have to give her snaps for her courageous fashion efforts. And, of course, the fact that she launched a simple beauty blog less than 2 years ago and the site has grown to what it is now…well, that’s pretty amazing.
I hunted down a bunch of photos of her and have decided that she has the black and white looked nailed down PAT. Here’s a few shots for you stalkers (including some of her apartment!):
Okay, yeah, this sweater. I want it.
I was slightly surprised at the number of items out on her vanity. As in, wouldn’t you think there’d be way more? She MUST have a beauty closet somewhere in her house just FILLED with stuff. I totally approve of her use of the Avène thermal spring water spray. I use that everyday on my face, and it’s amazing.
A mini-Atlantique bag. It’s not fair.
This last photo is of her refrigerator. I really, really want to know what Anna Wintour’s holiday card says on the inside. And also, if it came with a good Champagne, red wine, or nothing at all (The Devil Wears Prada? Anyone?)
What do you think of Emily’s style? And are you a loyal Into the Gloss reader?

I love her simple style and you’re right, she definitely has the black and white look nailed down!
I would so love to know what is on the inside of Anna Wintour’s holiday card..
you know what I’m taking away from all of this? I want to decorate my frig with all things fabulous.
oh and I’m obsessed with that sweater too.
I won’t lie, I found her extra annoying on The Hills. I wanted to hit her but now I think we could hang out.
Such great style! I love her fridge– is that a personal note from Derek Lam I spy? :)
Oh yes I remember her from The Hills! I remember her from the episode where she and Lauren were planning an event together… Hmmm. The girl does have great style!
I’m not a loyal ‘Into the Gloss’ reader but I occasionally scan thru it. I totally remember her from The Hills & agree with Christin that she was a bit annoying but I love her style :)
I’m not a daily reader of her blog, but take a peek every once in a while. I do love her style and admire the success that she’s had.
She has such great style–I love that she’s not afraid to take a few chances!
She is the perfect example of why it is important to purchase pieces that pack a punch! Serious style made with simple items, my kinda style!
Omg. HOW did I not know she was the super intern?!
never heard of her, but i like her!

Love Emily! She’s just too cool for school. Doesn’t hurt that the girl is ridiculously photogenic.
I’ve never read ITG, but quickly checked it out and I might start… haha.
and now I just want to have a Hills marathon. Ah, gone are the days of worrying what was happening in LC’s love life. Take me back…
Love Emily! She is such an inspiration, and so beautiful!
Isn’t That Charming.
As you already know, I’m pretty smitten with ITG and think Emily has started an editorial revolution I can only hope gets bigger. She has single handedly changed the way blogs exist. Her style and attitude reflect her personality and I just really admire her. I love, love, love her YouTube videos and hair/makeup tutorials. I’m actually including one of them in my blog post tomorrow. Great post, V!!
been a fan of hers ever since the hills (who doesn’t love to hate a know-it-all), and am a loyal reader of her beauty blog, for sure. she has a unique angle and i love, love, love the peeks into the beauty elites beauty arsenal. x
I LOVE this woman’s style! Happy to see this feature back in action!!!
