Meet Cora Rasp This personal stylist and owner of Coriander, a brick and mortar, turned web shop, has a down-to-earth take on fashion.

“I’m a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, as much as I love fashion.” she said. “If you’re hesitant about fashion, then shop with someone who isn’t. Or if you aren’t hesitant, bring someone who is to balance you out.”

Have a fashion emergency? She wants to help. We all buy clothes we love but still struggle with turning individual pieces into a complete outfit. “I just want to help them refine it and make them feel more confident.”

In November, shop her reinvented and one-of-a-kind finds at hellocoriander.com. Until then, catch up with Cora at www.facebook.com/hellocoriander.

Shoes: Thrifted, Jeans: J Brand from Anthropologie, Shirt: Banana Republic, Ultra suede jacket: vintage, Purse: vintage Coach, Watch: belonged to her husband’s grandfather, Bangles: made by a friend’s grandmother, Ring: gift, Necklace: she made it from chandelier crystals, Hair: Rebecca Forsyth at Bungalow/8 on 105th and Pacific.
