Fashion Idol of the Week- Taylor

This week’s fashion idol is Taylor, who exudes a bright, warm presence like her home state- sunny California. Taylor’s style is a little bit savvy, a little bit boho and very much gorgeous. Her beauty and style is not her only appeal. She also happens to be an Alpha Shopper for Lucky Magazine which allows her to review products, give input on shopping and style, go to stylish events, and report on what’s happening in her city. What I love the most about Taylor is that she has a great sense of humor making us want to admire her style from afar and also want to be her friend.  Take a peak into her fashionable world at Sterling Style and I promise you will instantly get addicted.

The Interview

La Mimi: Name, age, location

Taylor, 27, Bay Area, CA

La Mimi: What is the mission of your blog- Sterling Style?

Taylor: “Sterling Style” is my online inspiration board and look book. I wanted to have a place to share what things excite me and to give tips on style. It has become an incredible outlet for me. I am so glad others enjoy it too.

La Mimi: Who/what inspires you?

Taylor: I am inspired by so many things, but if I had to pick something or someone I would say my mother. She really turned me onto fashion. Plus, she is one of those women who can do it all and then some. She is not afraid to have multiple careers and run a family. She never allows her passions to fade. She acts on them.

La Mimi: When did you fall in love with Fashion?

Taylor: I fell in love with fashion at a very young age. I would always sneak into my mother’s closet and try on her dresses and jewelry. For my 17th birthday party I made a collage of all my favorite editorials and turned it into my invitations. Also, in college I kept a “fashion bible” of all my favorite looks and models and interned at WWD. So, I would say it has always been a passion of mine.

La Mimi: Vintage vs. New, what do you like more and why?

Taylor: This is a tough on too. I would hate to say I prefer one over the other because my wardrobe is full of both. I would have to say “new” only because I shop it more often. However, if I had more time I would vintage shop a lot more. I love how the clothes have a story.

La Mimi: Describe your personal style in a sentence.

Taylor: My style is eclectic with a strong bias towards girlie bohemian glamour.

La Mimi: What are you into wearing right now?

Taylor: I can’t seem to shake wearing a fitted blazer with a floral dress and boots. I love mixing feminine with masculine pieces together.

La Mimi: Who is your favourite designer and why?

Taylor: I love Stella McCartney. She really understands what women want to wear and makes clothes for the “real” woman. Every time I see her shows I feel I could literally walk out the door with every piece. They are so functional and at the same time exquisite.

La Mimi: Your favourite fashion movie?

Taylor: Recently I watched “Bonnie and Clyde” with Faye Dunaway. I fell in love with her style in that movie. I love all of her berets, trench coats, and cardigans. She could be in a Burberry advertisement.

La Mimi: Please share some words of wisdom with La Mimi readers.
Taylor: Diane Von Furstenberg said, “The biggest mistake a woman can make is not to be herself in public or private.”  I couldn’t agree more. I think as women we struggle with finding our own identity and we try so hard to please others.  Women are attractive when they are true to themselves even when no one is looking.
