I have always been attracted to beautiful things— people, places, and objects. Having been in the fashion industry for over 30 years, I downright reject trends. I could care less what everyone else is doing or what everyone else is wearing. I care about standing out, making a difference, and doing it with style.
However, I do believe that when you look good, you feel good (and vice versa). And because I am a Lifestyle Guide, I help many people with this very thing. Also, as a minimalist, I have seen how living a simple, luxurious life includes the people, places, and things that are in it, and the role that they play.
Part of being mindful is to pay attention to what and who you are surrounded by, and how they make you feel. Does this serve a purpose? Is this visually stimulating? If not, it need not be considered.
Function and fashion go hand in hand, especially in Florence. And by adding wellness to your daily activities, The Substitute is the ultimate accessory to have in mind. It clears your mind which helps you concentrate on the task in front of you.
It helps you relax and makes you feel calm as well as cool, no matter who you are or where you go. When stress creeps up, The Substitute knocks it down. And a confident person, well, that is quite fashionable these days...
