May 22, 2013 >> 5 Minutes With Catt Sadler

One look at Catt Sadler and you’ll understand why we have an incredibly huge girl crush on the E! News journalist. The brunette bombshell rules the fashion waves hosting E! specials and red carpet events, and her own personal style sparkles as one of our favorite TV personalities. But wait! There’s something even better! Coming to Chicago for one day only, Catt will be speaking on a panel of fashion and beauty pro’s at Simply Stylist on Saturday, June 8th. Details after the break.

Before the fashion lover comes to the Windy City, we asked her a few questions in prep for her Simply Stylist appearance.

Q: SUMMER TREND YOU’RE DYING TO TRY?
A: I really want to rock itty bitty midriff exposing tops! I’ve picked up a few, but am hitting my crunches extra hard before I slip into them!

Q: SUMMER TREND YOU TRIED AND WON’T BE TRYING AGAIN?
A: Snakeskin is incredibly trendy right now. I’ve done animal prints in the past. Been there, done that. Kind of over it.

Q: WHAT’S IN YOUR BAG? TOP FIVE ESSENTIALS FOR TRAVELING: GO!
A: One: Aquaphor. Keeps my lips, elbows, and feet moisturized at all times. Two: Jouer Luminizing Moisturizing  Tint for Face  SPF 15. It evens out skin tone, adds a luminescent youthful glow, and has sunscreen—all in one!  Three: Frederic Malle Carnal Flower Hair Mist. I wear the same scented perfume, but this is great to freshen into the evening. Four: Tokyomilk Crushed Shea Butter Hand Cream. And five: Iphone. I’m in constant contact with my baby boys and Instagram. DUH!

Q: YOU’RE LEADING THE SIMPLY STYLIST CHICAGO PANEL. THAT’S PRETTY POWERFUL. DO YOU HAVE A GO-TO POWER LIPSTICK?
A: I have two power lipstick faves. Tom Ford in Spanish Pink or the old school favorite: MAC in Rebel.

See Catt talk beauty and fashion with some of Chicago’s brightest—including G&F’s very own Stacey Roney—on June 8th. Tickets $20 to $200 and available on SimplyStylist.com.
