– Words by Lia Crowe Photography by Darren Hull
The definition of good style to Erin is never trying to be someone else, knowing yourself and letting your own personality shine through in your style.
“My mother has always had amazing style,” Erin says. “She always looks great, no matter what’s she’s doing. She’s had a big influence on my style over the years. She taught me to look after myself, take pride in how I look and not to ‘save’ clothes for special occasions—wear what you want and feel great every day.”
Asked what’s the best lesson she’s learned in the last five years, Erin says, “It’s to look after yourself. Being a mom of three busy kids can be all-consuming and draining, so you have to make time to take care of yourself, always.”
