Style We Love- Emilie




It's hard not to notice Emilie's style. She's bohemian yet chic, earthy and glamorous with hints of rock and nods to her Wyoming upbringing. She always looks cool and unique, but never like she's trying to hard. We caught up with her on Pearl Street while she was cruising on her bike. 

What is your current occupation? If you’re a student what are you studying?
I am currently a full time student, yogi, and experiencer of life to the fullest. I
study advertising with a spanish emphasis in the School of Journalism and Mass
Communication at University of Colorado at Boulder. I also work part time at CorePower Yoga (I am OBSESSED with it!)
What (and who) are you wearing?
I am wearing some Frisk jewelry... the emphasis of my wardrobe. I can't tell you
how many compliments I have gotten on my snake armband! Some ribbed up
jeans from Bershka in Barcelona, Spain and a Bebe tank top. I'm cruisin' on my Paul Frank bike.
Thanks Emilie, the jewelry looks great on you. Where did you grow up?
Born and bred in Jackson Hole, Wyoming! Shout out to the Cowboys. 
Describe your style when you were 12 years old.
Oh wow. Do I have to? Tomboy. I wore Jenco Jeans (is that how you spell it?).
They were SUPER baggy with ridiculous cartoon characters on the pockets. I let
them sag as much as possible without falling completely off. Let's just say
everyone goes through their awkward stage. 
How did where you grew up influence your style?
I definitely incorporate a lot of bead work and turquoise from the Native
American influence in Wyoming. My mom owns a "rhinestone cowgirl" shop that
in its entirety is definitely not my style but it has always brought out a very
personalized flair that is associated with me.
Who are your fashion icons? Who are you inspired by?
Anything vintage no matter how ridiculous and "out of style" it is seems
absolutely wonderful to me. I tend to sway towards the boho relaxed look of
Lauren Conrad with a little more pizazz. I would like to think that I have
the cowboy influence of Wyoming, the hippie yogi side of me, and the sex and
rock and roll side when I'm feeling it.
How would you describe your current personal style?
Boho living in Boulder. Much more relaxed than six months ago while living in
Barcelona. There it was heels 7 days a week. No matter how defiant your style,
you're always influenced by your surroundings.
What’s a fashion trend or look you would never wear?
Hello Kitty. UGH it's ALL OVER Europe. What is with that? Although, I'll also never say never. Let's just say it may be more of a halloween costume!

Thanks Emilie!
