The fashionable Stacey Farber from Degrassi: The Next Generation

Check out the exclusive outtakes that didn’t make it into the magazine

The ultra-cool girls of Degrassi: The Next Generation;Cassie Steele (who plays Manny Santos), Miriam McDonald (Emma Nelson), Stacey Farber (Ellie Nash), Lauren Collins (Paige Michalchuk) and Sarah Barrable-Tishauer (Liberty Van Zandt) agreed to glam it up for us in the spring season's hottest look: the dress. While they ogled the dozens of shoes, tables of jewellery, and racks and racks of cute dresses at the photo shoot, we cornered each of them for some fun girl talk.

Here's what we found out about the stylish Stacey Farber:

SHOWED UP WEARING: Her grandmother’s vintage pumps (“I have lots of my grannie’s vintage clothes and shoes”); Tsubi black jeans with ankle zippers (“They’re Australian but we need them in Canada—you can’t get them here”) Polo Sport blue pinstripe men’s shirt; Urban Outfitters black vest; two bangles from her mom and one from a store in California; her mom’s 1980s pin; Tallulah Babaton jacket from Aritzia.

SPRING/SUMMER PLANS: “This is the first summer I don’t have plans. For spring break the whole family is going to Vegas for my mom Rachel’s '20th' birthday. I’ve heard stores there are open until midnight—I can’t gamble, but I can shop!”

FAVE MUSIC: I Am Me by Ashlee Simpson, The Best of Michael Jackson, Monkey Business by the Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani.

HER IDEA OF A ROMANTIC DATE: “It sounds cliché but dinner and a movie. It’s relaxing and entertaining—and when you leave the movie it gives you stuff to talk about.”

ABOUT SPORTS: “I’m the least athletic person in the world. I wish I could be disciplined enough to go to the gym. I love to watch lacrosse (she’s a Toronto Rock fan)—it’s fast and they also play music during the game.”

SPOTLIGHT DOPE: “I love the free travel—we (select Degrassi cast) do these mall tours across Canada and the U.S. (Hawaii and Orlando, Florida are favourite spots).”

SPOTLIGHT DOWNER: “Reading the horrible things people write about you on the Internet. Though there are also nice things written too.”
