• Style Value Levers: Why You Feel Overwhelmed Getting Dressed

   In this solo episode, I’m breaking down a concept I come back to again and again with clients: style value levers.These are the core priorities—comfort, creativity, sustainability, price point, and more—that silently shape our wardrobes. And when we try to push all of them to 100%, we end up overwhelmed, disconnected, and still not loving what we wear.This episode isn’t just about figuring out what matters to you stylistically. It’s about giving yourself permission to focus on the few values that actually move the needle for you right now.I’ll share:What style value levers are and how they subtly guide your choicesWhy personal style systems like color analysis or Kibbe sometimes miss the markWhat happened when I embraced my Bright Spring palette and let go of outdated beliefsA challenge to help you clarify your top 2–3 levers and actually use them while shoppingThis one’s for anyone who’s ever stood in front of a full closet and felt like nothing was right—not because it was wrong, but because it wasn’t aligned.Mentioned in this episode:Seasonal color analysisStyle systems (like Kibbe)The role of trends vs. personal alignmentMy personal shift into Bright Spring & essence workRita's Style Keys InterviewThanks for listening to Style POV.

• Style Files: Eve, Is style for you or for the spectator?

  In this episode of The Style POV’s Style Files series, I sit down with Eve to chat about her deeply personal approach to getting dressed—one that centers around her unique words using the three-word method. Eve walks me through how her style has evolved over the years, blending nostalgia, playfulness, and a totally carefree vibe. From sewing her own clothes to rejecting one-size-fits-all fashion advice, she’s created a wardrobe that feels entirely her own. We talk about her love of vintage, how she shops more sustainably, and the way she uses personal memories to shape what she wears.We also dig into how her mom shaped her style, what creativity looks like in her day-to-day, and why tuning into yourself is key when defining your look. If you’ve ever felt like fashion should be more meaningful—or just more you—this conversation is full of insight and inspiration.Full Show Notes (with pictures): https://gabriellearruda.com/style-files-eve-is-style-for-you-or-for-the-spectator/Follow me❤️blog → https://gabriellearruda.com/podcast → https://www.stylepovpodcast.comyoutube → https://www.youtube.com/@Gabriellearrudadesign facebook group→ https://www.facebook.com/groups/gabriellearruda instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/gabriellearrudadesign/ tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign? pinterest → https://www.pinterest.com/gabriellearrudadesign/ email →  [email protected]: The Style POV Podcast content is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered professional advice.

• Style Files: Christina, From Barbiecore to Sewing Class

  This episode of Style POV is part of the Style Files segment — where listeners come on the podcast to share their real, evolving style journeys: the wins, the messiness, the growth, and all the surprising turns in between.Today, I’m chatting with Christina, whose story touches on everything from childhood fashion memories to the Barbie movie’s influence, sewing school adventures, and navigating personal style through shifting body changes and life stressors. It’s thoughtful, creative, and incredibly relatable — especially if you’ve ever felt like your wardrobe was a tornado of clothes and not enough yes-pieces.A quick note: if you're watching the video version, you’ll notice my footage looks a little different than usual. That’s because my original audio was completely unusable (yes, podcaster panic moment), so I re-recorded my parts afterward. Same questions, same energy, just with a slightly different setup. Thanks for rolling with it.I think you’ll love Christina’s warmth, curiosity, and the way she’s approaching style as both self-care and creative expression. Let’s get into it.Full Show Notes: https://gabriellearruda.com/style-files-christina-from-barbiecore-to-sewing-classFollow me❤️blog → https://gabriellearruda.com/podcast → https://www.stylepovpodcast.comyoutube → https://www.youtube.com/@Gabriellearrudadesign facebook group→ https://www.facebook.com/groups/gabriellearruda instagram→ https://www.instagram.com/gabriellearrudadesign/ tiktok → https://www.tiktok.com/@gabriellearrudadesign? pinterest → https://www.pinterest.com/gabriellearrudadesign/ email →  [email protected]: The Style POV Podcast content is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered professional advice.
