A Chicago and Detroit-based freelance stylist, writer and blogger, Taryn Bickley’s influences and inspirations begin with the portraits of Slim Aarons, head towards the stalls of Portobello Rd., and finish within the pages of her favorite glossies. Armed with a B.A. in English/Creative Writing from Denison University, and a MA in Fashion Journalism from Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design, she’s launched Metro Detroit Bride magazine, created a style blog called Sage & Style and contributed to a variety of national and regional publications and advertisements.
