Details, details, details. Sometimes they seem to rule our lives and can drive you a little crazy but in this episode of Twenty Something Style, host Tori Blackhart shows that you ignore fashion and style details at your own peril. The details we are talking about here are not the collar style or the different rises in pants but those things that send a message to others that is not the message you want to be sending. So Tori gives you tips on how to take care of and be aware of those annoying things like loose buttons or a spot on your blouse . It’s about making sure that the package you present to the world is the very best it can be.

Magdalena Piskunowicz, borne in Poland in 1984, is a current Headquarters’ Summer Intern at the United Nations in the Financing for Development Office, DESA.
She has studied law at the University of Gdansk in Poland and is now doing her masters degree in international law in the UK - University of Sussex. During her studies she focused on the issues of corporate social responsibility and human rights protection.

Working in a law firm for two years made her realize that she is more passionate about the international affairs than business life.
However, the experience gained whilst working on the corporate and company law cases proved to be useful as now she is dealing with international financial issues for the purpose of developing countries.

Apart from international law, her personal interests concentrate around literature and cinema. Above all she enjoys watching Krzysztof Kie?lowski’s movies as well as reading Julio Cortázar novels and short stories.
