How would you describe the relationship between your wellness practices and personal style?
They're both pretty intuitive for me, honestly. I'm not following a formula with either one. The way I get dressed and the way I take care of myself are both about what actually feels good that day, not what I think I should be doing. When I feel good in my body I tend to reach for things that feel a little more intentional, and when I'm dressing in something I love it genuinely puts me in a better headspace. They feed each other more than I think people realize!
What pieces in your wardrobe instantly bring you back to yourself?
My vintage Ralph Lauren sunglasses, always. A really great pair of denim. And anything in butter yellow, it's my color. My Margaux Demi Flats in that shade go with everything and make me irrationally happy every time I wear them.
What wellness rituals are non-negotiable for you?
Sleep, it’s really that important, I’m always striving for 8.5 hours. Rest days, which I think are wildly underrated and underutilized. And my red light mask, which I would genuinely defend to anyone who thinks it's excessive!!!
Take Care, Denise Larochelle
