Nata Sarafinchan on LinkedIn: #styling #photoshoot #photography #light #creativedirection #moodboard… (2024)

Last week, while shopping for essentials at , I was approached by a stranger seeking some quick style advice. Embracing the little challenge:I shared an idea or two, made a few tweaks to the already solid foundation, and to both our surprise, we had recently connected on LinkedIn! What a fun coincidence…Victoria Mekhaelov & I obviously had to cop a photo for this serendipitous moment and here it is…💫 V, it was a pleasure meeting you; you've got great style... perhaps consider adding a sharp pointed leather boot for that extra edge! 😉🥂#styling #connections #manifestation #challengeaccepted

A DTLA kinda day…I love mixing textures in my outfits. Here, I've paired a chunky cable knit with a light tulle skirt for a stylish contrast. 😎 #fashion #knitwear #fabric #streetstyle #creativedirection #moodboard #stylist #photography Photo: Timothy Fernandez

Its giving: Urban Outfitters in Spring! 🌸 Here are some photos to brighten your day. In sun-shiny California, where you most definitely WILL find people gallivanting in bright pieces any time of the year, I focused on playful patterns, fun textures, and vibrant colors to amplify the quirky direction of the shoot.The real question is: Do you wear fun colors to match your mood, or is a classic black on black your go-to? 👀 #fashion #photoshoot #moodboard #photography #styling #texture #colors #patterns #creativedirection Photo: Ashley Rose Weber

When less is more…I drove up to Sylvè’s sweet Topanga Canyon home with a trunk full of cotton, linen, silk, and skin. I wanted soft, easy pieces for effortless wear and play.The idea of this shoot was centered on “the girl”, keeping wardrobe simple yet elevated, much like the natural surroundings and organic feel of the home.🌿#styling #fashion #photoshoot #model #creativedirection #organic #silk #linen #cotton #fabric #moodboard Photo: Sylvè Colless

“The ability to quickly and easily adapt to change is often a competitive advantage for a leader.” But what happens when we struggle to embrace the unknown? As I navigate a season of massive change, I'm learning how to become more mentally, emotionally, and physically resilient. It's not always easy, but embracing discomfort almost always leads to growth and I’m ready for my next chapter to truly begin precisely because of it!Sometimes all we need is a ‘change’ in perspective. #resilience #leadership #adaptability

Everyone’s process looks wildly different so here’s a boost of encouragement on your journey. For some strange reason I’m drawn to the green one… 😏

Mel is an incredible communicator and the 5second rule is a perfectly simple strategy to break away from one mindset into another. I use this trick all the time and it actually works! (I usually end my countdown with a loud “GO!” for dramatic affect.) 😏
