Just for the record…I know my blog name is a total mouth full. I had a friend joke with me one day saying I should re-brand just based on how long my e-mail address was. Since I just gave my site a little face lift I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share the inspiration behind the name.

Two words: My parents.

Yes, I’m serious! 🙂

My mom is one of the most chic and timeless women I know. She taught that basics are anything but boring and that when you find a good fitting piece you buy it in multiples. She always has the most understand look but then adds a little somethin’ – a David Yurman cuff here, a Balenciaga bag there to spice things up. That being said, she also taught me that style has no price tag and that some of the coolest treasures can be found in the most unexpected places.

Then you have my dad, aka my spirit animal. He sharpies his chucks, embroiders his jeans and can rock a fedora like no one else on the planet. I love his eclectic style that he feels 100% comfortable in and taught me to be my own trendsetter and to hell with what anyone else thinks about it.

Personal style is such a beautiful thing. While I love fashion, it is the creativity behind the people who wear it that truly inspires me. That is why I chose to write about developing personal style and picking your own trends rather than letting the fashion industry do it for you.

Where life meets style Chic & Disheveled is all about being comfortable in your own skin and not letting fashion get in the way of what you love! So like I always say, if it feels so wrong that it’s right, it probably is!

xx,
