SwapUp Community: Meet Tania aka @StylingTan šŸ‘‹šŸ»

For this month's SwapUp Community feature, we'd love to introduce all of you to Tania, a jill of all trades - she's full-timeĀ mum, stylist and illustrator from Canberra whose authentic fashion formula involves mixing luxe items with a touch of boho flair.Ā Tania's style is always on-point as she manages to effortlessly blend chic and casual elements. Stay tuned to discover her fashion secrets and get inspired by her fashion-forward looks.

Check out our full interview here as she shares some of her top tips on her style & second-hand shopping:Ā 

1. How do you describe your style?
I guess my style is just ā€˜meā€™. It reflects who I am and is ever-changing, just as our lives ever-change as we move through the years. So, itā€™s hard for me to label that style, but if I had to, it would be cool-casual-chic (currently with a sprinkling of bohemian elements). I donā€™t like to follow trends, I love to layer and make my looks uniqueā€”classic with quirky twists and a little sparkle.

2. What's your favorite item that you've purchased on SwapUp and why?Ā 
How can I stop at one? Probably my two fave items are a Kate Spade bag with wicker detailing and a Bohemian Traders velour jacket with the most amazing embroidery. Iā€™m bananas over them.

3. Why do you shop second-hand?Ā 
I love it because, of course, recycling fashion is so important for our planet. I would say that 35 ā€“ 40% of my wardrobe is thrifted, including shoes and accessories. And another blissful reason is quite simply the beauty and variety to be found second-hand. Skipping mainstream stores guarantees unique pieces from less-accessible labels, that stand out from the vanilla world we often shop in. My heart literally races when I scour SwapUp. There be treasure there!
