Celebrity Stylist Derek Warburton has been kind enough to share his style secrets with our readers! Enjoy and have a safe and fabulous summer!



Here are some fabulous tricks from Derek "Fabulous" Warburton, who makes your favorite celebs look amazing!



"PILE ON THOSE ACCESSORIES!"--Derek
If you see Derek, you know he is not just wearing one thing on his finger or arm. Derek is known for piling on accessories and looking fabulous. From necklaces to rings and hoop earrings, wear your accessories all at once!
Purchase a set of 18 AMI Clubwear bracelets for only $15 bucks at www.AMIClubwear.com

"Don't be afraid to reuse your jewelry."
Never throw away any of your jewelry. When a necklace or ring breaks, that means it is time to bring out your creativity. Combine the piece of necklace on the ring or even put the ring on the necklace and start making a charm necklace.
Purchase an American Eagle Outfitters Necklace with an actual earring attached for only $16 bucks.(Pretty Uhmazeballs) www.ae.com

Have You Ever Been Bullied?

Everyone has been bullied at some point in their lives, some worse than others. Either way, bullying is NOT cool! Our favorite celebrity stylist, Derek Warburton, is the co-founder of BCoolNow.org, an anti-bullying organization made to bring attention to personal stories of those who were at one time bullied or bullies themselves.

The website contains videos and stories from those who have experienced bullying on a personal level. Reading and watching these poor kids brought tears to my eyes! That being said, Derek wants Mankx readers to submit their videos and share stories from their experiences to the website. You can send your videos or stories to Whatsup@bcoolnow.com. For more information on BCoolNow, go to BCoolNow.org or follow them on Twitter @Bcoolnow. Derek is on twitter too! Follow him at @Derekfabulous. 

I'm making my video shortly and will have it on here for you guys as well as on their website!
