So I've been thinking about Erin's instafeed for days, wracking my brain for beautiful adjectives to describe her distinct style. A beautiful mess. Eclectic perfection. A kaleidoscope of magic. But words alone can't do Erin's natural eye for colour and balance any justice. Her style is distinct and fresh. So what inspires her distinct flavour?
"I finally realised, after cooking school and becoming a personal trainer, that styling and Interiors were my passion. I was so inspired by Sofia Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette' and all of the attention to ultra feminine decoration and adornment. I can appreciated most styles but I'm definitely partial to ornate 'girlyness'" explains Erin.
Erin's motto is "more is more" and that is one of the most magnetic characteristics of her instafeed. I love simple and clean styling, but there is something about a plethora of shapes, sizes, textures and colours synchronising in one image that really sets my heart a flutter. Before I know it I'm experiencing all the symptoms of love sickness.
It comes as no surprise then that the incredible Megan Morton has snapped up Erin's talent and often uses her as an assistant on shoots. Whilst young (Erin recently turned 20) it is clear that that she has a huge career ahead of her and possesses the wow factor one needs to succeed in this industry. This wow factor runs in the family - Erin's mother owns the infamous Nest Emporium.
When we ask Erin what her fave trend for 2015 is, she struggles, which makes us fall in love with her even more. True style isn't dictated to by seasonal trends (although they're fun - especially if you have a short attention span like me!), but stems from passion and love.
"That's hard. I'm more of a classic person and think that if you really love something, it's always beautiful. However, my latest obsession is the dip dyed walls in rooms. I'm also quite taken with glamorous crystals and natural stone like malachite and azurite, etc"
Keep your eyes on Erin, Merakians, for her journey is not one to miss!
