Hello, I’m Brittany. I reside in Dallas, TX and am the co-founder of Home of Preservation, a skincare, magnificence and wellness model with medical spa areas in Austin and Dallas.

I met Lauryn within the early days of Instagram on the first-ever Reward Type running a blog convention 10 years in the past (we are able to cease counting now). She was lovely inside and outside and simply fucking cool. I used to be in my early 20’s, broke broke, and dealing a 9-5 company job whereas running a blog on the facet about tips on how to gown and look stylish on a dime.

Quick ahead just a few years later: I had a “quarter life disaster” and knew it was time to exit the fluorescent lights of company world. I reached out to my childhood finest pal who was in the identical scenario and satisfied her to take a leap of religion with me and pursue our shared love of skincare and anti-aging. We didn’t know precisely the place to begin, however took step one by enrolling in esthetician college and all the things developed from there at some point at a time.

Trying again, the instruments I gained through the early days of trend running a blog have been invaluable for serving to me pivot into what I’m doing in the present day. I discovered the significance of beginning a model earlier than a enterprise and giving worth with the intention to earn belief and loyalty. My enterprise companion and I spent 3 years candidly sharing our journey and educating previous to opening doorways, which was instrumental in gaining a loyal following. If it weren’t for our time at school and dealing as suppliers within the trade (I’m speaking lasering assholes on Groupon) we’d not have earned the belief we wanted to get purchasers within the door on day one and recruit the crew of consultants we’ve.

My love for fashion and aesthetics has all the time formed the lens I view the world by way of, which has translated into the design and ambiance of our enterprise. HOP was born out of the will to have a spot we’d need to go to. No river rocks crashing in opposition to a wave throughout our facials or US Weeklys within the foyer. We needed to move you someplace attractive and free. Vogue, magnificence, skincare, luxurious, it’s all the identical world to me.

Now that we’ve been open a bit over 4 years and employed a beast administration crew (*key*), I’ve been in a position to step away a bit and return to my roots and love of what began all this 10 years ago- trend. Whether or not I had cash or didn’t, trend has all the time fueled me. Fortunately with a much bigger finances lately and a child daddy’s checking account to take dangers with- I’ve been in a position to actually let my inventive juices movement and have enjoyable with it.

For me, it’s about pairing basic staples which might be timeless with a bit little bit of edge or intercourse enchantment. Including these parts can elevate the whole look. So the formulation is: TIMELESS + SEXY + EDGY. Assume to your self WHAT MAKES THIS INTERESTING TO LOOK AT (shout out to Kim Kardashian for the road).

Examples of basic outfit with a twist:

♡ a ribbed tee or tank layered underneath a corset prime

You’ve seen all of the manufacturers do it nevertheless it’s extra authentic whenever you pair it collectively your self. You additionally know you’re going to be the one one in it if it’s authentic too. This tee or tank would look so stylish underneath this. 

♡ outsized jacket/males’s jacket

Don’t be afraid to buy the boys’s part. Should you’re purchasing girls’s I normally go up 2 sizes. If it’s males’s, I’ll do a measurement XS or S. For me, I need it to look intentional-chic-vintage reasonably than a ‘rolled away from bed & placed on the primary jacket you see’ really feel. Completely my desire however you will discover what works for you. Loving this outsized leather-based jacket & this blazer that Lauryn has. 

♡ elevate athleisure with a jacket + stylish flats

One among my specialties is operating errands in my exercise set however making it applicable to hit the streets by pairing it with an elevated jacket or leather-based blazer. The boundaries I’ll push an athleisure set in…let’s simply say the road has been crossed earlier than. The simplest strategy to do it’s a cool flat-sandal, mule or slide.

♡ cropped white button down

Carrying a cropped white button down underneath a gown remains to be flattering the mid part however not including additional baggage. One thing cropped is vital.  

♡ an announcement piece with denims and a white tee

Make it a rule of thumb that you simply solely have one assertion piece and all the things else is a fundamental. The instance under is an excessive coat with a sample you DO NOT need to compete with. I paired it with a easy however ever basic darkish denim and a white tee.

Hope you all discovered some fashion information with this publish. We simply opened doorways to our second location in Austin, Texas and are presently scouting location #3 for @houseofpreservation. Observe me there or discover me @brittrix.
