followed by some downtime with my beloved French Bull Dog Choonie. On weekends I love to brunch, go thrifting or main stream shopping and spend time with my family and friends. As a Miami resident I also love to sit under an umbrella and relax on the beach when I need a little R&R. That said, I'm always very sun conscious so try not to spend an excessive amount of time outside.
Dian e: What is your niche for fashion? (Your passion) Am an da: My niche is that I always strive to be an original. I love to mix unexpected pieces together, whether they be vintage or new, or lower price point and higher price point. I am drawn to prints and textures and never shy from making and entrance. I've been a fan of a maxi for years and no heel is ever too high or too elaborate for me. I'm a very eclectic dresser.
Dian e : What other hobbies embrace your daily activities or routine? Am an da: I am a real fan of a good exercise class like spinning or hot yoga. It can be hard to get myself to work out after a long day but I feel more powerful than ever after wrapping up a class. My family and friendships also mean the world to me so I definitely do everything in my power to spend as much time as possible with loved ones. I enjoy going out for good dinners in New York City and Miami to catch up with people because I find that the phone just isn't the same as a face to face interaction. As I mentioned, I love to spend time with my French bulldog who is such a little character. He's 6 and I've had him since he was 8 weeks old so we've been through a lot together over the years.
Dian e: What tips would you like to leave with our audience? Am an da: Don't be afraid to take risks with your fashion. There are so many rules and limitations for the other parts of life. Getting dressed should be a fun and creative experience. When you get a chance to buy say, new shoes, don't opt for the safe black ones but rather pick out the ones that make your heart sing.
Dian e: How can the audience connect with you? Am an da: The best option is through my Instagram @fromappletoorange or through my blog fromappletoorange.com.
