Q&A with Style Writer and Blogger Joan Erakit

What are three words to describe your style?
Minimal, Elegant, Sexy

Any spring style advice?
Dress for your age…especially in the spring. Make sure to stock up on basics; fresh tees, fitted denim, and a great bag. A new haircut, and a new shade of lipstick will also be your saving grace.

Where do you get your style inspiration?
Honestly, Mark Rothko, the artist. He was really into color variations..I study his work, and I draw a lot inspiration for a particular look that I want to wear based on a certain piece of his. Color can play up even the most simplest of outfits. It’s totally my thing.

So the glasses: Do you intend for them to be a signature, or just a regular accessory?
They are a signature. I wanted something that set me apart from every other woman…they’re nerdy yet very intentional—which exactly the type of person I am.
