Q&A With EM:

Tell us a bit about yourself!

Hi!! My name is Trista Tripp. I grew up in LA and love that I did. I got into fashion in my 20s and realized I loved almost everything about it. I styled celebs for red carpet events and magazine shoots. Ive done set design for commercials and a laundry list of other jobs in the industry. I love it all! I got into fashion blogging and it’s my favorite so far.

What motivates you to stay focused on your passion in this crazy life?

I honestly love working hard and learning new things. And I’ve built up other people’s companies and that was a lot of fun so now knowing that what I am building is all mine at the end of the day motives me like crazy. I pretty much work all the time.

When not working, what do you most enjoy doing with your time?

I like creating what I want the future to look like then working backwards on all the steps necessary to get there. I love giving myself goals. It inspires me to work harder.

Where have you been wanting to travel to but haven’t gone (quite yet!)?

Turkey!! They have ancient underground villages that look insane! I would love to explore them!

Best advice you’ve ever been given, and used?

You can get anything you want in life as long as you are willing to work for it. Nothing is unattainable.

When do you feel at your best?

When I’m accomplishing my set goals.

Coffee or tea lover?

Coffee 100 percent!!

And lastly, what does true beauty mean to you?

True beauty is the confidence to be who you are and love yourself and others, faults and all and not give a fuck what anyone else thinks.
