Starting point is 00:00:00 The following podcast is a Dear Media production. She's a lifestyle blogger extraordinaire. Fantastic. And he's a serial entrepreneur. A very smart cookie. And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bostic are bringing you along for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to The Skinny Confidential, him and her.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Aha! Potential, him and her. Being in this like devil wears Prada culture where we were scared and there was a certain way you could talk to your boss and things you don't ask. And if you're sick, like you're still going to work and you're still showing up. I think the culture has changed a little bit now, but we grew up in, yeah, the Devil Wears Prada era. Because we were told no so early on, it just kept us going, kept us wanting more. And now we're just wanting to prove it to ourselves. And even, we were talking about this earlier, the day we got the call that we got Forbes 30 under 30, we're like, amazing, cool, hung up. We're like, all right, so what are we working on next? It's just like, we just have this hunger that we can't even explain to keep going and keep growing. Today, we have the very fresh, youthful, fun stylist, Danielle and Alex on the show.
Starting point is 00:01:12 I decided to interview them alone without Michael because in this episode, we really focus on fashion tips, styling, how to transform your closet, what we should be focused on for a classic look, and a lot of takeaways, especially for women. So I kicked Michael off this episode, and it's me, Danielle, and Alex. I really enjoyed this episode because it was like having cocktails with both of them, just a very relaxed conversation. And I also picked up tips from them. They've styled me for multiple events and for travel. They've also helped me with work looks. And they really know how to put an outfit together that's not overwhelming. They've styled some major celebrities and influencers. And they're also on Forbes 30
Starting point is 00:01:58 Under 30. With that, Danielle and Alex, welcome to the show. This is the Skinny Confidential, him and her. Danielle and Alex are on the show today. They have helped me so much with my closet. I am probably the most annoying client that they have. I text 100 questions. I needed a full closet overhaul that I asked them to come on the show to give us all the secrets, all the tips when it comes to styling, what not to do, what to do. Fuck, there's a trend every different day. Should we follow the trend? I wanted to get it from you guys. And first, before we get into it, I have to tell you, and I told you this off air, the way that you guys work with clients is so professional and so efficient and so pristine that it's different.
Starting point is 00:02:47 I had to have you on the show. So welcome. No, thank you for having us. It's an honor coming from you, the queen of professionalism. But we needed to do a closet overhaul, but we'll get into that. Okay. So let's get a little background on both of you guys. We'll start with Danielle. Tell us about how you even got a styling bug to begin with. Yeah, I always joke and say that it kind of happened on accident. I went to school for business, came back to New York, applied to 100 internships, finally landed one in celebrity relations that you were, you know, working unpaid, working crazy hours. I was commuting back and forth from Long Island.
Starting point is 00:03:29 And then, you know, things just start happening. You get a position open. Fast forward, I was at another PR agency. I met Allie, actually hired her for the Celebrity Relations team. And that's where we started getting into trouble. But you meet stylists that way. I met a stylist, Mimi Cottrell, went on to work for her. That was really the first intro into the styling world because you don't really hear about it too much that there's this whole
Starting point is 00:03:55 world of celebrity and people get dressed just to get a coffee. And it's just like this whole new world that I was introduced to and really taught the foundations of the business. And from there, even went back into corporate because you're still trying to figure it out. And then, yeah, around COVID, Alex and I launched our business. I think going back to what you just said, where you said that people don't know about stylists, I think that I've realized that people don't want other people to know they have a stylist. I think celebrities mainly want to make it seem like it's this effortless thing that they just threw together. And so the stylist kind of gets like tucked away under the bed. We see both cases. You see someone who almost wants to like brag that they have a stylist because it's this like level of success
Starting point is 00:04:43 and something cool. And then you see like, for example, Blake Lively, like I don't have a stylist because it's this like level of success and something cool. And then you see like, for example, Blake Lively, like I don't use a stylist and it's like, okay, but like who's, who's helping you shop, you know? So we see different levels of it, but it really just depends on the client and what's needed. It's giving like, I use olive oil on my skin when full facelifts are happening. Yeah. Okay, Alex, give us a little bit of your background, how it intertwined with Dani. I know it's like an invisible string between us our whole lives, how we got to this point. But I grew up in a suburb outside of New York City. So I was constantly in and out of New York doing some modeling when I was younger. And from there, I saw what like a full set and a production looks like.
Starting point is 00:05:24 I'm like, wow, I want to be in this world in some capacity. Fast forward, went to college at Michigan. And when I was there, I started a fashion program, which Lauren and Michael came to speak at the Michigan Fashion Media Summit last year. It was so awesome. And that program really is to touch on what Danielle said earlier, to showcase what real jobs are in the fashion industry. Because no one told us when we were in college that you could be a stylist. It was like, you can go into fashion merchandising.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Like that was the only option. So that's where I kind of learned a little bit more about the behind the scenes of what kind of opportunities are out there. Like Danielle said, she hired me and we just hit it off instantly. And actually what's funny is we had this desire to show the behind the scenes of fashion PR and styling styling pre-TikTok, pre-anything.
Starting point is 00:06:08 We started a fashion blog after maybe three days. Our boss at the time calls us in, like two assistants. And he's like, what is this? Shows it to us. We're in this conference room. We're like, we just had this idea. Like we show off like what it's like to be behind the scenes. We're working at the door for Off-White and Heron Preston, all these amazing events.
Starting point is 00:06:26 And no one knew what that meant to work the door or create a front row for a Fashion Week show. So it was instantly shut down. And fast forward now, that's like all the rage to show the BTS of the industry. But all this to say, we always had a lot of ambitions and ideas kind of before they came to fruition. Be honest when I ask you this. When you guys are doing what you're doing and you're doing it the old way, this is back before 2020. What are the gaps that you saw where you're like, fuck, people just don't get it. Like they gotta evolve. Like you saw white space. You saw things that people are just, that your youth wanted that they weren't doing.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I think it was just, the industry, to be honest, is really outdated. I mean, I still think of, I look at a PR agency and I'm like, what's the point anymore? There are these massive companies that have hundreds of brands that aren't getting the right attention. And it's just outdated. They needed a younger generation to come in and like kind of just revolutionize the industry a bit and I think that's what's happened in the past five years and I think we're headed more towards that way of just like let's do things that are different let's like change the industry let's not do an a to b event with the same people and the same a-list celebrity. It's really just opened up a bunch of new doors for everyone. Yeah. And clearly just more visibility is what
Starting point is 00:07:52 everyone has craved and what has come about. But I was saying we had this blog, we were calling it, it was called There With Us at the time because it was like, oh, we'd grab celebs at the door and we'd be like, they're with us. So we had that name. And what's funny is we were building an Instagram around it and we bought the handle from someone. It was like this whole sketchy deal we were doing online. I fast forward, I had to go to the Instagram office in Union Square to reclaim the name because they were like, it's locked out. We're like, no, we have this vision. I told them at the front desk, I'm like, I'm with Eva Chen. I'm dropping off a garment bag for her. Total lie, total bullshit. Anyways, I got into the Instagram office.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Finally, after like an hour, I was in the elevator with someone who happened to work in IT who helped us like reclaim the name. And it was just this whole funny story, all just to name our business, Danielle and Alex. Yeah, and to be shut down like three days later and like cry in the bathroom at our jobs.
Starting point is 00:08:39 But you have to go through those things though to get the grit to own your own business because owning your own business and being professional is not a joke. I feel like the resilience that you have to build is important. And you guys have clearly done that. So I would be crazy not to ask both of you all the questions about styling. The first question is, what is just out? Like, we got to retire it. It's in our closet. It's sitting there. It's got to go. It's a no. I would be the first to say skinny jeans. And I know that's like a big debate, but I know I'm not ever putting a skinny jean on my body again. I think there's just so many alternative options
Starting point is 00:09:25 and colors and styles. And we're pretty open to a lot of things. So what about a skinny row black pant scuba legging? Very different. Like I love the wardrobe leggings with the little flare on the end. Like that was very Haley Bieber with the heel and the slit. Like I love that. That's like sleek and feels dressy. But something about just like a denim skinny jean doesn't do it for me. Needs to be like a bootleg. So it's out. Yeah. So we're going for bootleg. You know what I don't like? And I'm just going to say it. The new trend of this bubble pant. OK. I can't do it. It's not flattering. Not flattering. No, I like things that are flattering. I don't mind seeing that on like a runway just to like see it.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Okay. But yeah, I don't imagine us styling anyone in that. But we love like a baggy cargo pant, baggy denim, low waist, high waist. What are the brands that are highs and lows for pants that you guys gravitate towards? Yeah, I'm really in this phase of my life where I'm especially elevating my denim. So now when I buy denim, like today I'm wearing Luave denim. I love Jack Moose denim.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Alexander Wang is like a affordable, really good quality. Who else? Dionne Lee makes great denim. So I'm kind of over buying the cheaper denim just because I'm looking to build out my wardrobe, have things for the next five years, 10 years. But if you are looking for more affordable, accessible options, we love Girlfriend Denim. It's on Revolve and Forward.
Starting point is 00:10:56 We love Park. Our friend Chelsea Park has a denim line. It's really, really good quality. And then my hack, because we know you love a a hack is if you live in LA or travel to LA there's this girl her name's Lenny and she has a vintage Levi warehouse and you go and you buy the denim it's all like pretty affordable and she'll tailor it to your body because what scares I'm like a big vintage fiend like I love all of it especially a vintage denim because that really can make or break an outfit. So if it's tailored appropriately to it, like you'll wear it every day. Yeah. And completely changes the denim if it fits you great and makes your butt look good. Right. Like you're wearing that denim three times a week. Yeah. So
Starting point is 00:11:33 love Lenny. What are the things that are aging? Meaning like, let me give you an example. We know if someone has bolt on huge boobs, you can sort of place what generation they're from. We know if someone has a French manicure that's a certain length with a certain tip that they might have like been in the carpool lane when you were in high school. Like certain things are generational and actually age us. Like even like with makeup, right? Like I'll see when someone pulls their brow down really low, like it's aging the look is more like upward what are the styling things that you guys see where you're like I can tell that they're born in this generation it's actually so funny you asked us we just were on
Starting point is 00:12:17 Tavern Hall and we did this thing called the age war which is the millennial verse the gen z and like who's right who's cool we're millennials but we identify as gen z because that's just where our style goes but i think it's so true the big differences we saw were millennials overall are like tighter tailored fit skinny jeans ankle socks blazers big bags always a heel healed booty kitten heel and then younger gen z is like you know you're seeing athletic jerseys low waist baggy denim big jackets uh you're seeing like with the gen z like more like a mix and melding of a styling like a mini dress with like an oversized or this like kind of juxtaposition of like masculine feminine
Starting point is 00:13:05 energy versus with the millennial styling a little more elevated perhaps tailored like Danielle said but you can spot someone on the street and you can be like like even I was sitting having lunch and I'm like okay millennial gen z like we were playing that we're having fun with it yeah so so what are things that we can do to keep it fresh? But still, I'm not trying to look like Gen Z. I'm not Gen Z, but I also want to keep it fresh. So how do you balance the two? I think it's always safe and classic and effortless when you stick to what do you look your best in?
Starting point is 00:13:42 Stick to neutral colors. T-shirt and jeans. Always. Forever. to what do you look your best in stick to like neutral colors t-shirt and jeans always like forever jeans white tee belt great earring great shoe great bag you cannot go wrong what mistakes do you guys see besides the skinny jean what are the things that that that are quick little points and this could happen with accessories or shoes rings like go off on all the different things that you guys see I know you guys sit around when you're having wine you're like fuck I cannot with that like give us those things it's almost more of like a vibe okay then it is like something specific I feel like when people try really hard or like decked out and too much designer where it's very
Starting point is 00:14:26 in your face we definitely don't like that we like more of an effortless look yeah I was gonna say it really some people can just carry clothes also it's a little bit more innate versus a learned thing but it totally can be taught I think yeah mixing and matching too many colors we really keep it neutral like our closets are black gray white yeah tans browns don't mix brands I think like today with these I'm wearing like a Luave print on my jean I wouldn't really have worn a Aliyah t-shirt because it just doesn't make sense one highlight moment in the outfit let the rest work around it I'm kind of into and I don't want to shock you guys. I haven't texted you this yet. I'm kind of in to like primary colors right now. Like the other day I did a red shirt.
Starting point is 00:15:13 You love your reds. I do love red. I think it's sexy. So how can we, and I'll tell you this too, everything, the pendulum swings. Okay. So everything right now is beige and white and black and I'm telling you it's going to swing back and whether it swings back in five years it'll swing back to the other side so I'm wondering how you can incorporate color in a way that feels fresh because to be honest I'm a little bored with beige. I've seen too many beige houses. I'm this studio. I'm doing something different with it. It's too much beige. I'm ready for a little bit of depth. I went to my friend Mark Moulet's house. He lives in New York. He's
Starting point is 00:15:56 the best style. His house has all of these beautiful artistic prints in different colors everywhere. And it was so refreshing to walk into someone's home that had a point of view that was different than everyone else's. I'm bored with doing what everyone else is doing. And the beige, while I love it, if I see one more beige outfit on my feed, like I just can't. So how can we sort of go the other way with the color? I think, I mean, color in general, I love a monochrome look. Like if you're going to do red, let's like, I think Elsa Hosk and like all her red or all blue or just like that really creates a moment instead of like picking and selecting different pieces. You're so right, though.
Starting point is 00:16:43 It gives personality and depth, which is really important when you're trying to like relay an image. So love that. Or just integrating it in like an interesting way throughout an outfit. So maybe it's not just a red tee. Maybe it's a tee that has a spark of red
Starting point is 00:16:55 and then you have like your little Hermes handkerchief hanging off your bag that has some red intertwined. And then maybe you have like a red sock with like a loafer hanging out. Just like subtle details that feel really styled. Hair clip.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Yep. Like could be so simple. Okay. So do subtle detail and don't go so on the nose. Meaning like so... Or completely on the nose, monochromatic full look. One or the other. I really like brown.
Starting point is 00:17:20 I think though you're going to see a pushback with beige. This is my opinion. I think you're going to see a pushback with beige. This is my opinion. I think you're going to see the pendulum swing away. I think everyone's house is going to not be beige anymore. I just incorporated all of this teal and blue into my bookcase. I'm going to just buy things that are beige. I can't do that. The TikToks and the Instagram and the Amazon storefronts that are all beige. It's a little like. It's boring. It's one dimensional. Yes. That's my opinion. I think things just ebb and flow. And I mean, even personal style, you go through phases. I can even say we used to only wear sneakers and I never thought there'd be a day where we haven't put a sneaker on in so long. In a year, literally.
Starting point is 00:18:07 What are the shoes that you guys gravitate towards? And what are you guys wearing right now? I'm actually wearing Rebecca Minkoff. Cute. Yeah, love her. Shout out. And also because we're in Austin, I was like, I want to do like some kind of cowgirl inspired chill, but loving ballet flats, loving boots, love a platform shoe. Honestly, anything but a sneaker.
Starting point is 00:18:26 I'm wearing Tony Bianco loafers, which I love Tony Bianco. Make really accessible price points, but emulates the trends in a really nice way. But yeah, we have not put on a sneaker. What I like about the way that you guys style and the way you guys dress is it's a whisper. So instead of coming so on the nose with a full cowboy boot and like a fucking cowboy hat or like, you know what I mean? Like being so Austin, it's just a whisper of it. I think that's what makes you both so chic. A stylist is it's not too in your face. Just a mood. Just like a mood you're in. It's a vibe. Sometimes I want to be so New York. I want
Starting point is 00:19:01 to wear all black and my leather jacket and my sunglasses and just go unrecognizable and go to LA. And then we're like cooler and we're wearing Bermuda shorts and baby tees. So it just depends. If we're editing our closet, what is staying? What is being kept? Well, Lauren, you know, we did this with you. You guys edited my whole closet.
Starting point is 00:19:23 We came in hot but I mean it's hard it's really hard to do. It was not I was so happy after you left. It was like oh. Is there anything you missed? No not one thing. Exactly. Don't remember. If you haven't worn it in like three months get rid of it literally. It's really hard to cleanse but ultimately yeah if you're not wearing something why do you have it or store it away for your daughter one day but basics like everyone needs great undershirts tees everyone needs great denim everyone needs great jackets for fall i would invest in your shoes and your bags and like a great blazer great blazer but like as far as jewelry you can get affordable really cool quality jewelry, great belts. And it can really look like an elevated luxury closet for, you know, somewhere in the middle.
Starting point is 00:20:10 How do you avoid, though, the overly millennial blazer? Like what makes a great blazer? I got like a little sick of blazers. Not going to lie. I know, me too. I'm a little sick of blazers too. That's why I'm asking that. I don't know that I can do it anymore.
Starting point is 00:20:24 We were really doing that. I mean, again. We were doing like blazers blazers too. That's why I'm asking that. I don't know that I can do it anymore. We were really doing that. I mean, again. We were doing like blazers and sweatpants. We were doing blazer any day. It was like the Hailey Bieber blazer time. Now, if I'm wearing a blazer, I want a cropped blazer. I want something that's like really big on the shoulder and cropped and just like interesting. Like just like the one black YSL blazer in my closet.
Starting point is 00:20:45 You just need the one and wear it. Otherwise, we're really, we're like dressing up leather jackets. We're dressing up like more like moto or like work wear jackets in a way. We're kind of replacing the blazer with that. I agree. And I didn't,
Starting point is 00:20:59 I didn't want to say this because I'm not the stylist, but I agree with let's move away from so much blazer. It's been a lot of blazer. And it'll come back. Yeah. Who knows when?
Starting point is 00:21:10 But then it'll be a different cut. Yeah. Right. I think what turns me off about a piece is when it's too severe. Meaning like I saw this girl on a show the other day and like the sleeve was like this big and it was just like too much of a just too much of something meaning like if if it's cropped it's too cropped or if it's if it's a skinny jean it's too skinny do you guys feel like that or do you like one severe moment i don't think we lean too severe ever yeah i don't think you guys do
Starting point is 00:21:43 whisper subtle huh even as stylists like our goal sure there's a time and a place where you want to I don't think we lean too severe ever. Yeah, I don't think you guys do either. Whisper, subtle. Even as stylists, like our goal, sure, there's a time and a place where you want to push the boundary and do something really creative and cool. But ultimately, like, no, we want our clients to feel their best, look their best, feel like themselves. Like I know I used to leave the house uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:22:01 I will never do that. If I'm not comfortable in an outfit, I'm changing. We literally have a bad time if we're out, if you're uncomfortable. I can't be in the mood. And also you exude that. It's an energy. Yeah. It's like you're not, it doesn't feel effortless, right? If you're not comfortable in it. So I think that's a goal with our clients too is like, is this something you feel like you in? We're here to help you elevate it and put a twist on it and make sure you have all the pieces. But yeah, let's not try to get too far away from what your style and what your vision is. What are the classic pieces on a budget that people can find? Meaning like you guys gave me, this is random, but you guys gave me like the sock to buy on Amazon.
Starting point is 00:22:44 You gave me like the white tee to on amazon you gave me like the white tea to buy can we give those little tips to the audience yeah i bet me and alex are probably both wearing white socks that's all we're in and our other haynes hack is we wear white haynes boys like youth boys tanks that we order and like a size like large for us and that comes from bella hadid yeah that was put them in the dryer once and like it's, we wear that all the time over any white Etern tank I have or anything else.
Starting point is 00:23:10 White Hanes boys tanks. You're very super model. Do you guys have a storefront? We do. Okay, can you do a storefront on all these things we talk about so they can go shop? Because I want to go shop those.
Starting point is 00:23:21 So you will wear those over these expensive tanks. I do want to say I live and die in my Victoria's Secret white tank because it has a built-in bra and it's like maybe $17. We're really weird about our bras and like boob situations. Why? Tell me more about the boob situation. Why are you weird? If I don't have to wear a bra, I'm not wearing a bra. So if you're going to build a bra in my tank, I'm going to wear it all the time. So I live in the Victoria's Secret tank. It comes in white, navy brown. Please make more colors. Also, I feel
Starting point is 00:23:52 like a bra, weirdly, it's like one of those subtle details that you don't think about as like a normal consumer that actually can really elevate an outfit. I have this one bra that has like the flower straps on it. We'll link it. And when I wear that, I get so many compliments and like under like a white tank, my black bra and jeans and like effortless, cool, but like subtle stylistic details. What are some other things? I mean, commando, everyone should have a black commando bodysuit. I'm sure we put that in your closet. Like the turtleneck, the scoop neck. Wolford is great, a little bit more expensive, but things you have again and you wear all the time.
Starting point is 00:24:29 How do you accessorize? I'm so simple. I am actually a new two-tone girl. When we first started styling, we always used to be like, you were more two-tone and I'm like, no, no, no, if the bag is gold, they're in all gold. There's no mixing. I like two-tone too.'m like no no if the bag is gold they're in all gold there's no mixing I think there's a way to do it but like even today I'm I'm a new two-tone person this is
Starting point is 00:24:52 new but again really simple I love like just a watch a few rings um heaven mayhem watch no this is a little cordia tank but I do I love I do need I saw the watches we love heaven mayhem I mean I have like the earring and her belt that I'll wear together and then it's like you don't think about it it's like you know that's gonna look good I love what you talk about with like decision fatigue is that how you coin it yeah like you can't you have to just tell me where to stand like I I'm someone I have so much going on that I just need to be told like this is this is right and that's why I think you're right when When you feel best in an outfit, you should keep repeating it in different iterations. What what are people doing that's not flattering? I'm someone when
Starting point is 00:25:36 I'm styled or when I'm dressing myself by myself, I have to feel flattered. I'm not like a stick on a runway. I'm someone who has curves. What are the tips for flattering someone? Yeah, I think it depends on your body. So if a client was coming to us, one of the first things we do, we have an intro call. We're like, what do you love showing off? Is it your legs? Great. You're going to want a mini dress. You're going to want to show off the legs. Is it like something else? What do you not like? Do're not like your arms okay great let's not do a tank so first it's really about knowing the client um even we're opposite right like yeah i'm more i'll show my legs any day and ali is more like i could wear a sports bra out and her abs are out
Starting point is 00:26:18 and she looks great so it really just depends how does someone flatter from color and fit standpoint? Meaning like, are there certain things that you gravitate towards cuts? I think height is a good thing to note for our shorter clients. You know, we're putting them in platforms on the red carpet and we're putting them in the mini dresses as versus someone who's taller you know you can do more of a a simple slim dress um even looking at you know with your warmer brown hair i feel like we could lean into what we're talking about for browns and some of these primary colors when you were blonder i'm sure you were gravitating towards other colors so i think that's really important too to when we look at someone seeing what actually works with their skin tone. Do you guys ever do color matching with people? We have to,
Starting point is 00:27:08 we haven't done it yet, but we have to. I feel like that is like, you guys should work with a color matcher. If anyone's listening that you guys like recommend to people, do you know what I mean? Like you have that in your Rolodex of tools. I feel like if we would be like recommending Rosie, our astrologist, but we'll get more on the color trend. You know what, I think we do it without intentionally doing it. Like we both kind of, we have the innate thing that just kind of works. So I think we're kind of doing it naturally. That makes total sense.
Starting point is 00:27:35 You guys, when you just look at something, you just know the colors. Yeah. Style or fit, anything. Like I think now, even when we're looking through a rack of, before it's even on a body, we can visualize it and know if it's going to work for a certain client. That's just like training. Where did you guys get your professionalism from? Because you're very, for how young you are at starting a business,
Starting point is 00:27:57 you guys are very, very professional. And I think it's a real tool in your toolbox because people would underestimate you by looking at you. And I've seen you guys be like silent killers. No, we love it. And it's so funny because behind closed doors, like we are so different and so chill. But yeah, we have a really strong worth ethic,
Starting point is 00:28:20 I think just from growing up. And I think really from being in corporate and being in this like devil wears Prada culture where we were scared and there was a certain way you could talk to your boss and things you don't ask. And if you're sick, like you're still going to work and you're still showing up. I think the culture has changed a little bit now, but we grew up in, yeah, Devil Wears Prada era. Because we were told no so early on, it just kept us going, kept us wanting more. And now we're just wanting to prove it to ourselves. And even we were talking about this earlier, the day we got the call that we got Forbes 30 under 30, we're like, amazing, cool, hung up. All right, so what are we working on next? It's just like, we just have this hunger that we can't even explain to keep going and keep growing. What is it like working with some of these celebrities?
Starting point is 00:29:08 What are the horror stories? Give us the juice. There's a lot. And it's from our whole career. But I think something we've noticed is that the bigger the celebrity, the more amazing they are to work with. And we always thought it would be different. And then usually the vice versa is true not that they're terrible but like maybe someone's a bigger pain in the ass or is more
Starting point is 00:29:31 difficult but at the end of the day we know it's a service industry we're here for a reason and it depends but we're also in a place where we prioritize our clients and we work with people that we believe in, truly support, truly like look up to and like believe in what they're doing because it's always more than fashion, right? Like you, you have so much going on. You have dear media, you have all these things. The world of like influencer and social personality is so, so, so much more that people don't see now. I am a die hard Symbiotica fan. I have a huge drawer in my kitchen dedicated to their supplements. I have vitamin C. The packets are so good in your water or just plain like before a workout. I have their glutathione, which I take all the time when I'm drinking alcohol or just like daily on the go when I need a boost. And then I also really
Starting point is 00:30:26 like their magnesium. They come in these packets. They taste really good. Sometimes I'll even use their magnesium as a dipping sauce for fruit with my kids. I get really creative with it. They also have a magnesium spray that I love. I spray it on my skin before I go to bed. I put a heating pad on my neck. It's like a big heated pillow, warm and delicious. And I'll put the spray underneath it. And it's a dream. Their products are the best supplements. Seriously, they don't have any filler, any harmful ingredients. I'm so into their products that I've interviewed the founder multiple times. I just like that they're made with intention and they have integrity. There's no seed oil, preservatives, toxins, artificial additives, or natural flavors. They're really transparent about where they source the ingredients.
Starting point is 00:31:13 You should know that the products that I like are the liposomal delivery, which means your body can absorb the nutrients faster and more effectively than traditional pills. They're delicious. Mix them in a smoothie, eat them on their own. They gave you guys a code. I use my own code all the time. Start your Symbiotica subscription today.

The newest launch brow peptide. Oh, I'm so excited about this one. I have been using castor oil, as you know, on my brows and eyelashes and sometimes even on like little spots on my hairline forever. And the Egyptians used to use it in ancient times to grow their hair. So it makes
Starting point is 00:31:58 sense that we would use it now. But I couldn't find one with a little extra oomph, so I wanted to create my own. I added a peptide, two organic, clean, cold-pressed castor oil. So it's kind of like castor oil on steroids. The peptide that we added nourishes your hair follicle and really helps you grow hair. So the castor oil already grows the hair, and you add the the peptide and it's amazing. So how I use this product is I use it morning and night right when I'm done with my skincare routine. So I've sort of like habit stacked it. What I do is I ice roll, do my skincare routine, put on my caffeinated sunscreen, and then immediately in the morning, I brush my brows with the brow peptide.
Starting point is 00:32:40 And I also add it to my lashes, even sometimes my hairline. At night, I do the same exact thing without the sunscreen, obviously, and then I'll go to bed and I'll reap all the beauty benefits while I sleep. It's obviously non-toxic. It comes in a beautiful pink tube and it has a unique custom wand where you can apply it on your brows or your lashes. You're going to be obsessed with this one. It's kind of like my baby. I'm very excited for it. You can go to shopskinnyconfidential.com. I would get on subscription because we're probably going to sell out. We do sell out a lot. Go shop our brow peptide at shopskinnyconfidential.com. I was talking to someone who I get spray tans from and she was telling me like a bunch of stories like off the
Starting point is 00:33:26 record. And I said, it's probably hard for you to spray tan people because the person that you're spray tanning is in such a vulnerable state because they're naked and exposed without like any filters or any good lighting or any sort of production, they have to literally strip naked. And for you guys, there's a similar energy of you're dressing people and there's this intimacy that people have with their body where if they don't like how something looks or if something doesn't fit that they thought was going to fit, there's got to be a projection onto you. And I think you guys know what I'm talking about and where I'm going with this. How do you guys deal with that in a professional way I think always we if it's
Starting point is 00:34:10 our first fitting with someone I like to say like hey if you put something on and you hate it say it you don't have to spend a minute or a moment on it it's going to help us learn if you love something like also you can see in a fitting someone light up or something like you just kind of know when it when it hits we've created a very delicate dance between the two of us in a fitting of like even the way in which we zip or something like we know who's doing what so like there's never a moment of doubt of like oh it's not going like we just know how to maneuver those situations to make it feel really comfortable yeah especially if you're zippering something and right mean alley kind of look and we're like, all right, this is not
Starting point is 00:34:47 fitting. There's a way to have a silent conversation happening. There's a way to get out of it. I also think like this run, this designer run small. Yeah, no, all the all the tricks, tips. We want people to feel comfortable. I mean, we don't fit into sample like it's hard. Some design. It's crazy. I mean, but in a way, because we Like it's hard. Some design, it's crazy. I mean. But in a way, because we're younger and we almost create this like hanging out environment, especially with these like younger social stars
Starting point is 00:35:12 that we work with. That's why I think they like working with us because it's like a hangout. We're chit-chatting and doing all the things. And like, they're going to relate to us more than maybe some of the older stylists that exist out there. What are some moments that you guys have had so far
Starting point is 00:35:25 that have been pinch me moments? Oh yeah, I mean, Lindsay Lohan for sure. I think we were really nervous. We did this amazing fitting and just her walking to the room and speaking and you like hear her voice that you grew up knowing. We were like, oh, oh yeah, that's so weird. Like so familiar, but obviously as an icon and we grew up
Starting point is 00:35:46 she completely shaped fashion when we were growing up in the 2000s and like her Paris Hilton and when you work with Lindsay is she like this is what I want or are you like this is what I think you should wear she was so chill she was literally like what what am i wearing and we're like this we love this for you puts it on loves it great here's a shoe watching her then like go out and do her thing is also a whole nother level of like wow people i mean i feel that way about k adams too we she's our like sports girl um when she goes out and does her show and does all these appearances or does like a Netflix special, we're blown away by how like people just turn their talent on. She works with Haley Heckman.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Yes. Yes. Haley Heckman. I think that's who introduced me to you guys. Yeah, I think that's where I met you guys. It is. Who are some other like clients that you guys have styled that are on your feed? I know you guys started working with Alex Earl.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Tell us about that. I think that was a big moment for us and just within the industry because we honestly identified her and went out to her team at the time when she was, I think maybe a junior in college, like really pre any of this. But like we saw the growth happening. And I think we were at lunch. I remember you looking at me. I'm like, because there are some people will do in a trade or like a collaboration to kickstart the relationship just so that there's like this trust build they're like hey we actually really believe in you so much that we want to like out for you and then see where this goes we're literally at lunch i'm like this girl's gonna be a star you were going i'm sick over it we need her i'm going nauseous and that's
Starting point is 00:37:22 what you know your gut who is it and she's like alex earl and and ally made it happen and i was like oh yeah and now yeah it happened so early on with a lot of our girls that we started working with were like this like next big thing and then they blow up and we're like we saw that talent and that's honestly part of our job we're scouting our own clients so we need to find people that like represent us and where we think the industry is going but yeah working with alex was so. All the brands were so down to give it a try. And she was really down to test out different styles and shapes and sizes because she had never been styled before. So I think we kind of introduced her to that world. Who are the other talent that
Starting point is 00:37:58 you guys work with? What's your Rolodex? Give it to us. So right now we've been working with, we're in like the Real Housewives of New York era, right? Our client list kind of ebbs and flows. We're also in Dancing with the Stars right now. So we work a lot with Jenna Johnson, Kelsey Anderson, who, yeah, her fiance is on Dancing with the Stars and her dad is the current Golden Bachelor. So she's having a really cool moment.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Just did a fitting with Danielle Jonas. She's going on tour, obviously, with Kevin don't you guys also work with page we love page she's honestly one of our first clients and she has a point of view too is such a fashionista i mean in our fittings with her they're so always from day one have been so like effortless and seamless because she just knows what she likes and looks good and everything and can do a like big range of looks. I think that's why I liked working and I like working with you guys is it's it is collaborative. So it doesn't feel like you guys are like giving me like this is what you're wearing. Like I'll be like, I want to go to Italy and I want to really lean in to red, green blue I love when you do that it's so fun but
Starting point is 00:39:08 it really is because honestly you're probably one of our only clients that really you put a lot of effort into packing and we appreciate that but when you have a trip coming up you're like here's the theme here's what I'm doing down to the down to the iPhone case though you have your color scheme it's appreciated. It's really appreciated. I think we need more time. We'll talk about that. But I'm going to New York next week.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Can you guys help me? Come to the office in New York. I would love it. We'll do the whole thing. We got to talk to Katie about that. She has me booked like a drill sergeant. It's the New York energy, though. It's great, right? Like, New York is that hustle.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Austin is like a great mix. I love it here. Yeah. And then LA is like more chill than Hollywood, right? So I feel like you get the three best places. I do. I say LA and New York are my mistress. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:56 I fuck it, I suck it, and then I leave. I would love to live in Austin. That's why I'm married to Austin. This is my marriage. And when I need a little fun, I just go to my mistress. You know what I mean? Yes. When you are, if you, if someone's listening and they don't know where to start with styling, when you guys are building out a closet for someone, how can you help someone that has no idea what they're doing? Because there's a lot
Starting point is 00:40:21 of people who are listening that's like, this is so overwhelming. I don't even know where to start. Yeah, it's hard. I think step one, cleanse. Step two, basics. So build out those essential pieces. I think denim, jackets, accessories, shoes, bags, sunnies. I was also going to say sometimes it's even just thinking whose style do you love? Who do you want to emulate? And how can you create your own twist on that is it like the hayley bieber vibe is it like the jackie o vibe it just like depends where you're leaning towards and then you can build from there what are you guys seeing that's up and coming like way ahead besides the lack of beige that i'm predicting so we're like coming into holiday i don't know i love like a lot of texture. I feel like that's usually big in the fall and the winter. So like cashmere sweaters mixed with like the glamour and the
Starting point is 00:41:11 sparkle and the sheer and the jewels. There's a lot of layering we're seeing, especially into fall winter. You know what color I love? Let's hear it. We're back to the colors. Navy. Yes. Don't sleep on navy. And I'll'll tell you why my best friend is so chic she like doesn't have social media she doesn't give a fuck she like never she hasn't posted since like 2013 and she was like i don't love black because it looks it looks like a retail store because everyone's in black and she said said, and everyone does black. But navy is a giving black, but it's not black. So it's kind of just a little different of a twist. I'd even say mixing the two is sometimes a little taboo, not to be crazy, but I used to hate navy
Starting point is 00:42:00 and black. I feel like growing up, my mom would be like, those don't go together. Those are the myths of fashion that you're told that are just really not accurate at all so how would you mix navy and black explain it i would say like black trouser okay can we mix in a white tee but sure even a black tee and like a navy cardigan like thrown over the shoulder maybe a navy phone case perhaps perhaps yeah you know what we call this in my brand we just implemented a touch of blueberry cute yeah that's in our brand guidelines we now have blueberries so that i'm really into navy right now i'm having a navy moment it's such a good color on you especially this hair color blue eyes like yes you should lean into all of the blues how are you guys
Starting point is 00:42:43 feeling about hair colors moving forward? Because I also think with hair, you don't want to get stuck in a trend. For instance, if it was really cool to get big, chunky highlights when you're 21 and now you're 41, it's important to evolve so you don't look like there's been 20 years that have passed.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Does that make sense? But it's like stuck in a trend. Hair is... I mean, we're obsessed with our hair. We've been joking forever that one of us needs to go blonde because there's two of us. We started blonde.
Starting point is 00:43:12 She did. Yes. And now we've morphed into one person. But hair is part of an outfit. Yes. When we're especially working with a client, it's not just the outfit. We're collaborating with makeup and hair
Starting point is 00:43:23 to make sure the whole vision comes to life. It's not like one-man show but you see in fall right everyone on instagram now is a brunette everyone goes darker when it gets colder except did i see that hayley maybe went a little bit lighter she's doing the opposite so maybe we see people go more blonde but um i don't know i love a balayage i'm into like a natural vibe i like a natural vibe too that's not too harsh and i do love the um what do they call it the cowboy the copper whenever you know i go through phases of like should i chop my hair off should i dye my hair red should i get bangs i like your hair i think it's it's perfect it fits you someone told me that you should be the hair color that you were when you were little like that flatters your complexion of course yeah i've never dyed my
Starting point is 00:44:10 hair touched it just let it be don't let let it be what kills a look and i'm not talking about the outfit meaning makeup jewelry purse shoes what kills a look it all matters right it's hard to like it's more it's it's like harmonious yeah but of course like your hair and your makeup I mean I think it's just like doing too much yeah if you have a loud outfit and then you have like the big having my hem ear it's like all right girl like relax like one thing at a time it's all about balance we're really big on the masculine feminine mix. So I think it's about if your hair is really effortless and down, you know, maybe you're in an edgier outfit versus if your hair is like slicked back, maybe you're in something
Starting point is 00:45:01 girly. But yeah, it's hard to just pinpoint what it is i think the whole thing matters your bag matters your shoes matter um it's just a position too it's like what you said it's like it's an unexpected twist yeah you don't want to wear a floral dress and wear like this these soft like romantic waves at least. Yeah, I'd wear a leather jacket with a floral dress. And like a slick back. Yeah, it's a little unexpected.
Starting point is 00:45:29 What about bags? Tell me about bags. What bags? You mentioned small bags on Gen Z. What's your vibe on big bags? If you're going to invest in a bag, which bag are you guys picking? Give us the whole bag thing
Starting point is 00:45:39 because I think the bag is important to the outfit as well. Absolutely. I think that's what you should be investing in. We love St. Laurent. We love Bottega. Everyday bags.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Yeah, we're wearing like a nylon Prada. Depending on our outfit. I mean, I changed my bag maybe once. Yeah, once a day. I changed my outfit. Multiple times a day. Yeah. I love a vintage bag.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Even like Foward has Foward Renew now where you can see an easy way to source it because people get really overwhelmed by vintage shopping which i kind of alluded to earlier right now i'm in my chanel bowling bag era do you think it adds like again unexpected twists i love that the hobo bag is now back too like alaya makes this really big bag big who else has hobo bags the row i mean seeing a lot of big bags in New York and I'm loving it because we've been like small micro bags for so long now and you could only fit a lip gloss. Who are the trendsetter brands? Yeah, I think the OGs. Right now, I mean, we've been watching like Paris Runways from afar. I
Starting point is 00:46:41 mean, really into Acne Studios for us has really inspired our style. Mew Mew. Gaperni, Aliyah. Aliyah's like everywhere. Like everyone's dying over Aliyah right now. Okay. I like how the row did the address on the cup. Just from a branding perspective, I thought that was really smart
Starting point is 00:46:59 because they said you can't take pictures of anything, but everyone's going to keep the cup. And what are they going to do with the cup? They want to show they went. That's a whole fucking strategy rabbit hole that I could go down. They want to say they went to the show. How do they say they went?
Starting point is 00:47:13 They show the cup. What's on the cup? The address. They have to show the address because if they show the other side of the cup, it's just a white cup. It's this level of elusiveness, which is really cool in a time
Starting point is 00:47:24 where everything is so out there. Yes. And it's also incredibly strategic branding. And I appreciate that. Yeah. And we love that. I mean, from our background in corporate, right, we have seen that side of brands and how much it goes into planning events and the show and like the whole bigger picture. And, you you know who are they dressing what celebrities are they loaning to right not every brand will loan to your clients it really depends on who they are and if they fit the brand and that's just the way it is and brands have full different lists because of corporate we have a really good understanding of that like full picture
Starting point is 00:48:00 yeah you guys see all the different edges i want to go through a time of day look and I want you guys to walk us through how to deal with it. So like a workout. What's like a great outfit to wear to a workout? Walk us through the whole, like imagine like we're in Clueless. I go to Solidcore every morning. So I wake up and I either put on a onesie from Set Active. Okay. Love Set Active. Just easy, right? Like I'm half asleep. I'm just putting on a onesie and my Hanes socks and running out the door. Or I'm wearing... I think an important detail to the outfit of your outfit. Okay. Is you have the cute Fendi slides, like the clogs. Yes. And those elevate when you're like running an errand. Oh yeah. After. You gotta tell us about the Fendi slides, like the clogs. Yes. And those elevate when you're like running an errand after.
Starting point is 00:48:45 You gotta tell us about the Fendi slides. I love a slide. Or just a clogs. She's like, I put on the Hanes sock. You gotta tell us about the slides.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Love a slide. Love a clog. Or fall. I feel like we had to say this earlier. Clogs, fall, the mule, the sliding. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:57 Obsessed. I think it's the best shoe. I think it's so cool. Very passionate about this. With like a jean even and like to dress it up. But it just gives that like effortless, cool look. And also, I just want to slide shoes on like time is money or money is time
Starting point is 00:49:11 i like it saves you time to have to put the foot that's my favorite shoe no we're like the girls at the bar who are wearing like clogs and everyone's like you know that's a shoe what my mom used to wear i'd be like what the hell are those and now i'm obsessed you know this is often a tangent when we were talking about branding birkenstock just launched a foot care line genius with lotions and oils i was fucking dying i sent it to my whole team i'm like this is how you do it yeah disrupt yourself, but add a different layer to it. I just have to tell you guys that. No, I love that. I feel like you're the only people that would appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:49:49 That's so smart though, right? Definitely appreciate it. Yeah. It's like genius. No, we're wearing Birkin socks. We're loving UGG. Okay. Please like send us all the platform UGGs.
Starting point is 00:49:58 They have so much cool new styles that are out. They have like a new puffer one. They have a new like shearling one. We just put in a whole order. It's hard though when everyone's doing the same style. That's where I tap out. When I see everything, everyone doing the same claw clip, I have to look somewhere else. Like I completely, I jumped, it jumps the shark for me. By the way, the best claw clip i've ever used in my entire life by the way please enlighten me the lean the plastic clips and i'll tell you why it's expensive however it's a
Starting point is 00:50:33 clip i wear every single day the white one cost per wear tortoise shell one the pink one that's my clip that so i'm just saying like it's it's like if every single person on the planet is doing it, it's like it starts to become like, I don't know. The second I see my friends now in baggy jeans, I'm like over it now. So it's just like trying to stay ahead.
Starting point is 00:50:55 That's why it's, that's why I think things come back like a Birkenstock. It's like people get fatigued by it. They get saturated. And you try things out. Like for a while, I was wearing hiking boots out and I got a lot of pushback but like i said the haviana is coming back surprised me a
Starting point is 00:51:10 little bit the red ones but they're back i know it's because like i like well i really like red we discussed this and also it's it's a quick slide on as a mom when i want to just look three four years ago you were you wouldn't have gotten one i't think. I think now because it's back in style. Yeah, I think it's because of the row. Yeah, it is. Which I text you about. What did I text you yesterday? They have the clear available. We're looking.
Starting point is 00:51:32 We're hunting. I text you. I said, I'd like the row red, the thong. It's easy to throw on. You know what I mean? Yeah, you like an easy shoe to put on. Yeah. Especially on your trips.
Starting point is 00:51:43 You want to be on and off. Yeah. Simple, simple. Okay, shoe to put on. Yeah. Like especially on your trips. You want to be on and off. Yeah. Yeah. Simple, simple. Okay, so we're at a workout. We're doing a set active onesie. We're doing Hanes socks off Amazon. We're doing a clog.

See, I love that. Yeah, like then I'll go on my leather jacket oh to work out see I love that like then

I have a couple of things that I'm going to text you guys about. Fendi slide, oversized sweater. I prefer navy. Yes. What are other things that you guys see happening I'm seeing a lot of people wearing like hotel brands on their outfits do you guys see trends that are really up and coming
Starting point is 00:52:54 that you think are here to stay or ones that are gonna go I mean they all come and go I'm trying to think I New York and LA are so different in the fall I feel like I get into like my Adam Sandler vibe where you're like it's like that mix of like oversized comfort like New York it's cold you just want to be in like fleece and layers and big scarves and leather and like a big puffer like I can't wait to wear North Face again I think that we're gonna see come right back. Trench coats, a lot of black leather trench coats. But LA is a whole different world. I don't know what you've got going on over there. We still pretend that there are seasons even though they're not. A trend I'm really into this fall in terms of eyewear because I feel like that's
Starting point is 00:53:38 an important topic in terms of our outfit. I've been really into like translucent sunnies. I have this pair I have in my bag from Alisa Johnson and they're like so cool and just like elevated look or bonnie and clive just came out with this like you know you're seeing like the school wear kind of like slender clear glasses yeah all the like cool girls i can see you in those with the mic cool yeah they're gonna send you it's like a reading glass like literally like a librarian would wear i have the little saint laurent ones that are like exactly a little cat eye and you can wear them inside.

OK, I have to go back to my list.
