Kimberly Jurek designs clothing that women want to wear. Her clean and simple fashions reveal Jurek’s bohemian style and global influences, which she freely shares here.

Design inspiration: Vintage clothing, draping, my travels. Color scheme: Every shade of green. Flower: Wild flowers. Decorating style: Inspired by our travels and our budget (i.e., Ikea). Trend: The bohemian girly stuff, always. Accessory: My Rise Up feather earrings. Handbag: It changes often, but currently a suede fringe bag that I found at Buffalo Exchange for $25. Skincare product: Aveeno moisturizer (nothing too fancy). Fragrance: Dolce & Gabbana’s The One. City for shopping: I love Buenos Aires for fashion. The women really know how to dress well—chic but not over-done. Local boutique: Cliché, Drama, Gallery 360, and Karma. Local restaurant: Azia or Fuji Ya for sushi, and Duplex or Al Vento for a sweet date. Guilty pleasure: Red wine with dinner. Playlist: I’m really into Fleet Foxes, and anything in Spanish so I can keep learning. Book: Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom. I am a romantic so I like historical fiction. Summer vacation: The past few years I’ve been going to Burning Man, a festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. Travel necessity: Nothing! I usually pack the morning of—at like 3 or 4 a.m.—and leave with no sleep.
