The Blogger and the H.I.P. District
OCSR’s core missions are to educate, inspire, and highlight style in the OC. We are always on the hunt for style makers. What’s a style maker you ask? It’s really any person who creates style including designers, stylists and bloggers-just to name a few. These are the people who influence our overall style point of view. One of these Style Makers is Rebecca Araoz, Fashion Stylist & Blogger.
Rebecca’s blog,
Tailored Tantrums was created in 2013 as a way to express Rebecca’s personal style and share relevant fashion news with her legion of fans and followers. Rebecca’s style philosophy is all about confidence,
“If you can pull confidence, you can pull anything”. It’s a motto I strongly live by in my daily life and it begins every morning in my closet. I want the same for my clients; to exude confidence in all aspects of their lives; but let me handle the fashion part. Well said Rebecca-we completely agree.
Katie and I had the pleasure to meet up with Rebecca for a styling session for this shoot in Laguna Beach’s
H.I.P. District (my favorite place to shop) and picked out looks from all of our favorite Laguna Beach boutiques including,
Red Fox,
Adrift,
Isla,
Taim,
Blue Eyed Girl, and
the Shop. Laguna. The thing I love the most about this special strip of PCH is the variety of clothing you can find plus the beautiful walk to each of these individually owned boutiques. Shopping local is my passion (as most of our readers know) and the beauty of shopping in boutiques is their own individuality and style point of view. Happy Shopping.
