STYLE tracked down Katie Abbondanza, an editor at Girls’ Life magazine (girlslife.com), and one of Baltimore’s true fashionistas. Abbondanza can wield a red pen almost as sharply as she can wear an outfit. She has her own distinctive style—and it’s a good-looking style at that – and there’s not a day that goes by that her co-workers don’t corner her out to find out what she’s wearing and where to snag it.
