Meet Australia's hottest stylist from Adelaide

So I did a few interviews before I got really sick during this pregnancy and I have been wanting to post them ever since. One interview I couldn’t wait to share with you was with an amazing woman called Breanna or you may know her as @styledbybreanna . Ever since I got Instagram I have followed her journey of a girl from Adelaide growing her following to over 300k , styling celebrities and then living out her ultimate goal of creating her own fashion line. Throughout it all I saw her achievements, her openness to discussing her struggles and disappointments and also her perseverance which I so much admire. She is a total sweet heart and boss babe. While I was sick she hadn’t heard from me and emailed me to see if I was ok. That is the definition of kindness - when you haven’t met someone in real life but show that level of compassion.

I hope you enjoy this interview honeys and find the motivation to live out your dreams. xx


G : A positive motto you live by ? 

"Go listen to all my music, it's the codes of self-esteem. It's the codes of who you are. If you're a Kanye West fan, you're not a fan of me, you're a fan of yourself. You will believe in yourself. I'm just the espresso. I'm just the shot in the morning to get you going, to make you believe you can overcome the situation that you're dealing with all the time." Kanye West

This is one of my favourite positive quotes and my favourite quote from Kanye. My confidence and self-belief stems from him. He truly makes me want to reach my full potential and not to settle for a life less than I am capable of. When I was in high school, I would be sitting on the bus in the morning and I would listen to his songs and have visions of what I wanted to achieve and get goosebumps. One vision was having my own runway show and one year later I achieved that! 


G : What do you love the most about your career and the fashion industry? 

My career is what I live for- nothing makes me happier. I love that I can express myself through my creativity and style, I love being on set and styling photoshoots and executing my visions this way and bringing them to life. I love that I can make people feel something, make them feel beautiful and confident - their best selves. 

I love that the fashion industry is full of insanely creative and talented people and it is a lot of fun and has a lot of perks. However, with that being said, the fashion industry isn’t all it seems. People tend to show and post on social media only the beauty of it. 


G : Your label is incredible and watching your journey from a stylist to releasing your own line has been motivating. Where do you get inspiration from for your designs and how would you describe your style? 

Thank you! It’s been a long time coming - 4 years to be exact and it’s truly something I never gave up on. I get most of my inspiration from scrolling through Pinterest, searching up old runway shows and vintage fashion and scrolling through IG accounts like @virgomood. I also get a lot of inspiration from favourite designers and brands such as Alexandre Vauthier, Tom Ford and Versace. 

I would describe my style as powerful, sexy and timeless- there’s no better way to dress.

G : I know you have openly spoken about feeling lost with your journey but are so successful now and from what it seems you have reached your goals. Do you have any advice for others struggling with confidence, depression, anxiety etc? 

Thank you-  I have reached some of my goals but am always striving for more. 

It honestly took me years to come out of depression and anxiety- I still do feel anxiety to this day. However, I think getting out of my hometown, Adelaide and moving here to LA for 3 months, to finally pursue my dreams, has definitely helped me overcome and conquer a lot of my fears. Most importantly, it has allowed me to grow and to get out of the rut I was in. 

I used to wake up almost every day dreading my life because I had let my fear and insecurities control it- I felt trapped but I always envisioned how my life could be. I learnt over the years that to overcome any fear that you have, you have to deal with it or you'll be stuck in the same place. You have to push yourself outside your comfort zone or you will not grow. You’ll always be trapped. 

One day, early this year, I woke up to a message saying I could work in LA for 3 months and I immediately took up the opportunity- there was no doubt involved, I had had enough of letting myself down for too long. I knew this was an opportunity I couldn't miss and that this was everything I needed to finally live up to my full potential and to find my purpose.

My advice to others struggling with confidence, depression and anxiety is that although there isn’t an easy way to overcome your issues, if you make a small change day by day and start to focus on the positives of your life, you will progress and you will grow. Perseverance is key to growth and it’s all in your mind-set. I watch a lot of empowering and inspirational videos online, surround myself with people that inspire me and read motivational quotes to help me stay focused and determined. 

The best thing I ever did in my entire life was finally believing in myself and now I can finally say I am happy- for years I never thought I’d be. So, have faith and belief in yourself and trust in your journey. There will always bet set-backs and bumps in the road but it’s up to you to get back up. You are truly the only person control of your life and happiness and sometimes you have to be your own hero. 


G : Last question and something fun... You are a new colour in the crayon box. what colour are you and why  ?

Any colour but grey! I dislike anything mediocre, anything done half-heartedly and uncertainty which I feel grey portrays.
