Interview with Dlynn

Feb 132013

Sale PSA: Nordstrom has new markdowns on some great classic shoes here. My picks are these gorgeous classic boots, and dressy flats that can also be worn casual, for under $100 here.

Today’s interview is with the beautiful and very sweet Dlynn – a woman who you can’t help but adore when you meet her. Dlynn is a self described woman “in her 50′s, living in the 20′s”, and she is every bit as cool as she sounds, as you will soon discover. She has a fabulous closet, a diverse set of interests, and a gorgeous handbag (and car) collection that focuses on a color that many (including me) are scared of – white! How cool is that? Enjoy meeting Dlynn!

Who are you, and where are you from?

I am Dlynn. I am originally from Richmond, Virginia, but now live in the Williamsburg and Virginia Beach area. It’s a great location because you have the city/lifestyle of Richmond, history of Colonial Williamsburg, beauty of the mountains and the fun and relaxing feel of Virginia Beach. After getting married to my husband, who is from Long Island, New York, I had the pleasure of moving and living in New York for six years.

We started our family there and then decided to move back to Virginia to raise our three kids and start my husband’s dental practice. Before marriage and kids, I worked as an assistant fashion buyer for a major department store in the city of Richmond. This is where I learned so much about fashion, art, design, photography, marketing and style! I loved this job and really miss this line of work, but my life took me in a different direction.

Love the details on this Louis Vuitton bag

Can you elaborate more on this different direction? What do you do now?

What do I do now? I have spent the last few years home-schooling my kids through their high school years. I currently have developed and manage a program called “HELPING HANDS”, which teaches high school kids with “special needs” clerical skills with the hopes of having a job after high school graduation. Our middle child was born with a chromosome disorder, and through her disabilities it lead me to discover a great need in our community for a program for special needs kids. Continue reading »

Interview with Camilla

Jan 092013

Today’s interview is with the beautiful Camilla, from Norway. I wanted to interview Camilla because I really adore her style – it’s very comfortable but still very chic at the same time, and perfect for the weather in Norway. I had a lot of fun getting to know Camilla – she was incredibly charming and I’m sure you’ll find her so as well. Enjoy!

Who are you? What do you do, and where do you live?

I am a 36 year old woman, living and working in the picturesque city center of Bergen, Norway. I was born and raised here, and after having spent a few years here and there abroad in order to learn about the world, I came home to the city where I belong and where I have my family and my heart.

I lived in the United States for four years while getting my bachelors degree in journalism, and spent a while working in Switzerland at a news agency before taking up work at a national broadcaster in Norway, where I have now been for ten years. I travel quite a lot for work as a rights manager and logistics operator, but the more I see and love about other places, the more I realize that, yes, I am in the right place.

What do you love most about where you live? What are some unique fashions/trends in Norway that you see see out and about?

Norway is quite cold, and as a result, we are bundled up for large parts of the year. For the colder months, I am favoring a soft yet stylish look of layering wools, cottons and cashmere blends in a manner that keeps you warm by retaining body heat- when wearing many layers it is important to me that they “feel” me and do not restrict movement – soft, form fitting but not tights or clingy – think chalet, soft browns, light earth tones and blacks for a natural, soft, feminine look.

Interview with Philipp

Nov 142012

Today’s interview is with Philipp – a production manager from Italy. I wanted to feature Philipp because he is a very discerning customer in many aspects, with a wonderful eye for detail and quality. He’s someone who is very thoughtful about his purchases – and while he wants them to be beautiful and luxurious, he also wants them to have a functional place in his life. I really enjoyed getting to know Philipp more and I hope you all will too!

Who are you? What do you do, and where do you live?

I am Philipp, I am a 29 year old (print) production manager living and working in a small town in Northern Italy.

You work and live in Italy. Can you share a bit about your city? What are some unique local fashions and styles of dress?

Northern Italy is – like most of Italy – breathtakingly beautiful: there is splendid architecture, cosmopolitan cities and lovely landscapes. The area I live in is characterised by this perfect mix of untouched nature and beautifully kept agricultural areas. What I like most about it is that with a 10-minute car ride you are in the midst of the (Alpine) countryside. It’s indeed a great place to live. Continue reading »

Interview with Justin Ng

Sep 122012

I had such a fun time putting together this week’s interview. Justin is an incredibly talented photographer and illustrator whose work I adore. He is one of those people who you can tell just loves to create beauty, and surround themselves with it. Justin has an incredible eye for craftsmanship as you will soon see, and a deep rooted love of style and fashion. Enjoy meeting him!

Who are you? What do you do, and where do you live?

My name is Justin. I am an illustrator and photographer from Vancouver BC, Canada. I was born and raised in Vancouver, but I spent a great deal of time in Hong Kong as a child. I am currently completing my BFA in Visual Arts at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. I also work part-time as a drawing and piano teacher.
