All those behind-the-scenes looks at couture ateliers, photo shoots, and runway shows aren't for naught: Erin Heatherton says they can be prime training ground for people who want to work in the industry.

"My advice to young people who want to get into the fashion industry is definitely to take advantage of all the media that's available now," she says in a video chronicling her shoot for XOXO's Spring 2013 campaign. "You can really get a closer look at the fashion industry than you ever could these days with media outlets, videos online. And it's a great way to kind of prep yourself for the fashion world."

Look of the Day: I'm Blue

There are so many things to love about sassysweetheart's blue look.

There are so many things to love about sassysweetheart's blue look. For one, the proportions are perfection — high, paper bag waist pants paired with a body-con tank and short-sleeve leather jacket. Besides, this is a girl who doesn't skimp on the details. Every accessory counts: statement ring, slinky layered necklace, and a pair of the fiercest, Fab gladiator heels I've ever seen. Complicated combo pulled off effortlessly.

Here's what she has on:

Pants: Forever 21
Shirt: Target
Jacket: XOXO
Jewelry: Burlington Coat Factory
Shoes: BCBG

Congrats to sassysweetheart!
