It’s official: beer and style totally mix. In honor of the Great American Beer Festival taking place in Denver this weekend, we would like to introduce one badass fashion and beer blogger. Not only does Tiffany of Sort of Candid have effortless style, but she also has great taste in beer (and has a stockpiled fridge to prove it). Tiffany teaches us that if you love two things, why not combine them?!

Looklist: As a beer and style blogger, how do you find a balance between the two to allow both passions of yours to shine on your blog?

Tiffany: I think because they are so vastly different from each other, they kind of stand out on their own! I also don't think I want a balance on my blog, it keeps things interesting.

LL: Did you start with a specific plan for your blog? How has your blog evolved over time?

T: There was definitely no plan. I just knew I wanted to have two things on there: style and craft beer. I dove in head first and it has been pretty rewarding. My blog is still in its baby stage. So for now, I think it's too early to say it has really evolved much. I think it's growing day by day.

LL: Do you have more of a fashion following or a beer following?

T: Hmm.. that's a good question. I would say I have more of a fashion following but I have more of a loyal beer following. People pop in and out to check on my outfits but I have some hard core beer readers who still comment on almost every picture. I love it!

LL: That’s awesome! How do you stand out on social media?

T: It's hard to stand out in a world where everyone blogs. Living in NYC is complete chaos! Regardless of how many other things are going on around me, I  enjoy taking the time to stop and enjoy good beer in comfortable style. I think people get that vibe from my blog.

LL: What are your favorite places to find fashion inspiration?

T: My favorite place to find inspiration is the street. I get it from people passing by me and even store fronts I pass on 5th Ave. If it's not from those places it's from other NYC bloggers.

LL: Now on the beer side, what kind of beer collaborations have you done in the past?

T: I've done beer tastings for reviews, beer magazines interviews, beer festivals and LOTS of brewery tours. It's all so much fun!

LL: What is your all time favorite beer?

T: Oh man you've hit me with the question that is always so hard because there are so many! Right now the first thing that comes to mind is anything from Stone Brewing Co. Their "Go-To" IPA is legit.

LL: How many beers do you have in your fridge right now?

T: Let me get up and check (goes to refrigerator)... 32 and most of them are different.

LL: What is your spirit animal?

T: My spirit animal would probably be a dolphin! 

Don’t you just want to grab some happy hour brewskies with her? Please be sure to see more of Tiffany on her blog Sort of Candid because as you can see, there is no one else like her.

And if you are fortunate enough to live in the fine city of Denver, be sure to check out the Great American Beer Festival this weekend starting today, September 24.

We’ve got exciting news! Looklist just welcomed a new team member! His name is Matt, he’ll be helping us with front end development as we work towards launching our redesign and native apps. We’re super excited to have him, say hello!

Hi there! 

My name is Matt. I’m the newest addition to the Looklist team, as a front end developer. As my Hello World addition to the Looklist blog, I’d like to talk to you about why I’m happy to be here.

I’ve never been a big fan of things. What is a thing? A thing is when you expect something to be quick and easy and it suddenly becomes much more complicated. When you run to the store for milk and end up running into your 5th grade teacher who wants to talk for an hour or two, that’s a thing. When a friend asks for help moving a couch and you end up spending the rest of the day moving all of his furniture, this too is a thing. Picking up the phone for an unknown number is almost guaranteed to be a thing.

For me, fashion has always been a thing. For most of my life I have been a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy because the whole process of discovering a look that suited me was always a process I was unwilling to undertake. But as I have matured (somewhat) I have come to realize that fashion is a form of communication, and an important one. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a visual first impression is an introductory essay. And while there is certainly nothing wrong with being a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy, I think it’s time to expand my fashion repertoire.

That’s why I am looking forward to my time here at Looklist. We are creating an experience for all kinds of people, to the fashionistas at the cutting edge of style down to people like me who need a nudge in the right direction. For me, Looklist makes fashion less of a thing.

Music videos have always been a portal for experimental, dramatic, avant garde, often theatrical fashion. They scratch the itch of our guiltiest pleasures, transcend reality and comment on society. Although the medium has morphed alongside big advertising and product placement budgets, it still creates a playground for costume, character and contextual style. This is a weekly ode to music video fashion. 

As of today, you can upload images directly to Looklist! It's super easy. Once you log in, just click the upload button, and starting adding looks so they can be approved to show on Looklist’s Curated Feed.
