On the next episode of Talk Shop, Ariel Okin welcomes the brilliant interiors writer, editor and stylist, Mieke ten Have. 
Mieke parlayed her editorial eye into creative direction for interior designers, architects, and home brands, after years working as a magazine editor. Mieke is a frequent contributor to Architectural Digest and House & Garden UK, among other publications, along with being a contributing writer to several books. 
Describing her style as “Granny-chic”, Mieke's design sensibility is all about pieces that are beautiful, strange, and conversation starting. You can spot her floral arrangements a mile away, and her personal style and sense of space and the way it can translate on a page is truly singular in the industry. In her downtime not jetting off to shoots around the globe, Mieke lives between Manhattan, where she grew up, and Dutchess County, New York, with her husband and two beautiful children.

Amanda Jones Vaughan // A Personal Touch from Design Start-Ups to Fashion Powerhouses to Her Own Brand

On this week’s episode of Talk Shop, Ariel is joined by the accomplished interior designer, Hillary W. Taylor. Having grown up in the San Francisco area, Hillary learned the art of designing the home environment from her mother. After graduating from Princeton, she worked for an investment banking firm, before realizing design might be much more her style, and founding her business, Hillary W Taylor Interiors in 2003.
Known for her neo-traditional design style that seamlessly blends classic elegance with contemporary elements. Her work exudes a sense of refined sophistication, creating spaces that are both timeless and inviting. With a keen eye for detail, Hillary blends colors, textures and patterns to achieve a sense of balance and harmony, with a bit of her own eclectic charm. 
And when Hillary is not in the design studio, one might find her digging in the dirt, on the running trail, or cheering on one of her four children at their sports games, all while awaiting her next plane ride to adventure.
