FINDING THE DEFAULT

The world around us is filled with defaults. A Whopper before you request cheese, BBQ sauce, & bacon. A plain bagel can be considered a default until you add your favorite flavored creamed cheese.

In many cases a person may have many different favorite brands that look and fit their personal style. This is one of the joys of styling because one can be inspired by different looks and merge them together to create their own identity, but

What is a TasteSetter

A Taste-Setter is the marriage of one who is both a Tastemaker and a Trendsetter. Lets examine both to get a better understanding of this perfect union.

A Tastemaker is defined by Dictionary.com as one that determines or strongly influences current trends or styles, as in fashion or the arts. His influence shapes the way you button your shirt, lace your sneakers, and roll up your trousers leg.
