A Refined Woman | Brynn Watkins
1. Who is Brynn Watkins, and, aside from Being Elliott, what are some other projects you’re involved with?
I am a woman who is always looking for the next thing. I am always looking forward to the next step, the next collaboration or the next styling job. I love making connections and meeting new people with interesting life stories so I can learn and gain knowledge from their experiences. I am driven to a fault.
Projects are always coming at me from any which direction. Right now I am working on a summer styling shoot set in Montauk–think "Mara Hoffman" esque.
2. What is Being Elliott all about?
Being Elliott is all about helping women discover the whimsical fascinations of life through inspiring ideas, style tips and personal touches which create their special looks. I really want to make women smile at the end of the day. If Being/Elliott can help do that, than I am ecstatic.
3. Why did you start Being Elliott?
I needed a platform to share all my crazy creative energy! I love fashion and finding inspiration from other blogs and content out there and I thought..why not contribute to that inspiration myself? It is now my passion and escape.
4. Describe who you think your typical reader is (her style and attitude towards life)?
She is independent, bold , knows what she believes in and is willing to fight for it. She also knows you don’t have to spend “an arm and leg” to look like a total fox.
I pray my reader always remembers to laugh at herself and to think of others before her own needs. I want to be her friend :)
6. Share your Favorite designer and why.
Oh gosh…. what a tough question!
Right now, I am loving 3.1 Phillip Lim. His style of minimalism and elegant line is really hard not to fall in love with. I have yet to find a piece he has designed I can’t see eye to eye with. 3.1 Phillip Lim was meant to be in my closet. His price tag is another issue :)
7. Share three products you are currently obsessing over and why.
-My Elize Cuff from Stendahl Jewelry is the perfect piece. I just slip it on my wrist and it takes my outfit to the next level. Love.
-My new scent from Goest Perfumes called "Dauphine". The subtle hints of rosebud and almond musk is an instant confidence booster.
-My favorite new book and current read from my editor at LOLO Magazine, Lauren Scruggs’ “Still Lolo”. This is an inspirational story about faith overcoming all obstacles. I can’t put it down!
8. Advice for bloggers just starting out?
Be bold and develop your own unique voice. Also, don’t be scared to reach out to brands and companies you love. Who knows what can happen. Try! Try! Try!
