An Interview with Tayler of Style Interplay

I study at Oregon State University, doing Apparel Design, Merchandise Management, and Spanish. I believe in doing what you love and being happy. I have so many interests sometimes I have a hard time on focusing on just one thing, but design has been my main focus for a while and I'm loving it. Come say hi at Style Interplay!

This interview was published on Monday, January 09, 2012.

Who or what has been your greatest fashion influence?

Tayler: As far as fashion goes, my greatest influence as of a few years has been the internet. I am inspired by what fashion bloggers around the world wear because instead of seeing a globalization of fashion, you can see so many different and unique styles people create and I really appreciate that.

Three things in your closet you cannot live without:

Tayler: Leather loafers, big knit vintage scarf.... this is so hard! And lets say dark wash jeans.

What label(s)/store(s) do you favor?

Tayler: I am not one to follow designer labels or consistently shop at one store. The origins of my closet are pretty eclectic.

What inspires you?

Tayler: Way too many things! Music, food, people, photography, architecture, texture, the outdoors, interior design. The list goes on. As of late, a lot of interior design which I tend to focus on, on my tumblr. (http://styleinterplay.tumblr.com/)

What types of items do you like to save $ on and what do you splurge on?

Tayler: I'm a college student and that means my money is being saved to pay rent! But if I had a more balanced financial life, I would be saving for a great leather jacket with a shearling collar; I have always wanted one.

In your opinion, every woman should own:

Tayler: A good bra. No joke. But a more fashion focused answer would be a great fitting and versatile dress. Not necessarily an LBD but one that you can wear to many different occasions including party and work.

Your most worn lip gloss/ lipstick:

Tayler: I only own one lipstick and it is called Tempt Seduction by Covergirl. I'm not big on lip gloss, chapstick is the way to go for me.

Your most worn piece of jewelry:

Tayler: Braided gold ring I always wear on my middle finger and a simple brassy colored bracelet, both on my right hand; inherited from my mother.

People would be surprised to know that I...

Tayler: I don't know if this is surprising, but after college I want to get rid of most if not all of my possessions and travel the world. Culture has always been a huge interest and influence of mine, yet I have never been outside of the United states.

What's your latest obsession?

Tayler: My tapered khaki trousers from H&M. Love those pants. Also, Bon Iver's New album.

On my days off, you'll find me...

Tayler: Wouldn't one of those be nice? If I am not at work or doing school work, I am either spending time with cool people, or starting new projects; which usually entail sewing, art and blogging.

3 fun facts about you:

Tayler: I have been skydiving and it was awesome, I definitely recommend doing it. I can wiggle my ears. My favorite kinds of music are Country and Hip Hop.
