Jaime Xie, Silicon Valley heiress and star of Bling Empire, appears on the cover of the latest edition of Grazia Gazette—Art Basel Miami Beach edition. Here, the fashion-icon-in-the-making dishes on her best fashion, shopping, and styling tips.

1. Never shop for an event. Instead, buy things you love so you’ll have a stash of dresses ready when an event comes around. “You don’t want to panic and buy something last-minute that you don’t even like,” says Xie. “I never want to be the girl who has nothing to wear. Too stressful.”

2. Plan extra time to get ready. “Something will always happen. You need to redo the eyeliner, change the lipstick. Especially if you want to be on time, give yourself that leeway.”

3. Shoes are so important. “You look at people’s outfits and it’s so good, but then the shoe ruins it. Either it’s too much or not enough. There should only be one or two focal points.”

4. Build your glam and shoes around the outfit. “Find the piece you want to wear and build your makeup, hair, and shoes around that. You can’t throw individual things all together. They may have looked good on their own, but all together is too much. It has to be balanced.”

5. Pack all your clothes on hangers. “When you get to the hotel, everything is already hanging and you can put it directly in the closet.”

6. Use a clothes organizing app. “I can log my new clothes and create outfits when I’m on a plane or in the car. It helps put your closet together, and planning looks can prevent overpacking.”

7. Fashion is not about practicality or comfort. “If you’re trying to be comfortable then you can’t wear heels because they aren’t comfy. Either go all in for fashion or be chill in your Uggs.”
