In this update episode, I chat with Reiko Foster about her evolving style journey! Back in 2020, she described her style as a mix of bohemian, modern vintage, and clean lines.

She discusses mixing hard and soft elements in her looks, learning to embrace new combinations, confident self-expression, her go-to stores, being inspired by online influencers, why she believe style is about more than just clothes, and more.
