Do you remember when you were young and your friends or siblings used to copy cat you, or mimic everything you did until you wanted to scream? Well, sometimes old habits die hard.

Dear Poll: Who Would you Want as your Celebrity Shopping Buddy?

DearSugar — Thu, 29 Mar 2007 10:30:00 -0700

Are you the type of girl that likes to go shopping by yourself or with your best friend? Do you need the nod of approval from someone when making a big purchase? I enjoy both scenarios, but one benefit to shopping with friends is they sometimes pick out things that I missed or even push me into expanding my personal style.

Women in Hollywood have the luxury of getting clothes literally thrown at them, free of charge of course, but it's all about how they wear it. If you could pick one fashionista to shop with for an afternoon, whom would you choose? Whose style advice do you most admire and respect?
