In recent months, Stewart has come into contact with multi-platinum songwriter and producer Heather Holley. Ms. Holley is widely recognized for her role in launching Christina Aguilera’s career, having aided in the production of the songs leading to her RCA signing. Many of Ms. Holley’s recordings have been licensed to hit TV series such as Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, and 90210.

The slouchy sweaters aren’t going away and neither is the heavy military look.
