DRESS LIKE DESIGN // KELLY WEARSTLER

When I first saw images of Kelly Wearstler, I feel like I noticed her personal style before her designs. She just has a way about her. I follow designers from all around the world and I haven't seen many designers do it better.

Okay maybe Rossana Orlandi. God she is good. Her curated collection will have you inspired for decades.

Rossana is very chic and a total vibe but tbh not quite mine. But Kelly most definitely is a total vibe.

I feel such a rush of inspiration when looking at her photos. My favorites interior shots are the ones she is in. KELLY is like a prop stylists dream, if she were a prop. LOL.

While Kelly's look is wild and not exactly budget friendly, somehow her look still feels accessible to me. She is like walking Ad for "dressing like design".

Kelly says "I DRESSS LIKE I DESIGN. Fashion is one of my favorite ways to experiment and express personality and creativity. The way I dress is like the way I design interiors. There's always a new spirit mixed with an old soul, a teaming of vintage finds and emerging talents.

Kelly says "Working with talented, creative #stylists, like Monica Rose (@monicarosestyle) on new looks is super inspirational to me and evolves my style. Pushing the boundaries and taking risks is what #design is all about. XK"

[@monicarosestyle in her element]

It's honestly no wonder I love Monica's style so much...her online store, @shopmonicarose, "a curated selection of vintage finds and modern selections", fits my vibe perfectly. Ofc she sprinkles in interior #inspo images amongst her curated fashion pieces.

Kelly's recent posts from her trip to Mexico City, MX gave me the inspiration to write this. She visited Casa Orgánica (@casasenosiain), the private residence designed by one of the most creative and inspirational architects Javier Senosiain. You should def check the @ for more images of this masterpiece. She of course brought along Monica Rose for this iconic look.
