Style Roots With Ellie-Jean Royden {Body & Style}

In this episode of the Style POV podcast, host Gabriella Arruda welcomes Ellie-Jean of Body and Style to discuss the process of developing an authentic personal style through the concept of 'style roots.' Ellie explains how her system works with Kibbe and Kitchener's frameworks and how it helps individuals find cohesive and personalized styles by identifying three primary style roots. The conversation covers topics such as integrating trends with personal style roots, understanding one's personality and preferences, and the role of body types and color seasons in style decisions. They also discuss Ellie Jean's upcoming book 'How to Dress Your Best,' which further explores these concepts. The episode is filled with practical advice on building a wardrobe that feels genuinely you, navigating style challenges, and embracing personal evolution.

[@sarahirwin6631]

Ellie I love what you say about finding style by finding ourselves. Other style systems seem to focus on our outer appearance to find our style, and it can be so hard to be objective about our own appearance. I love your streams exercise because it focuses on who you are inside and what you want to express in the world! It feels like artistry and is completely brilliant!

[@cheryl8069]

A wonderful session by two intelligent and beautiful young ladies. It is so valuable to use knowledge to guide our buying choices rather than over buying. ❤

[@tins369]

Oh my god I love you both ❤❤ love your concepts, your content and just everything ❤❤

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Thank you!!

[@01jausten]

We definitely need more females creating style systems. Systems that are more inclusive and less from the viewpoint of the male gaze. I would be grateful for some more input regarding different life stages and ages. Both of you have already really helped me - a 60 year old. At my age, I also have the advantage of being able to look at clothes that I wore in the past - the mistakes, which usually involved me following fashion (the 80s wasn’t a great time for ethereals 😬) and the wins (so that’s why those long, flowing dresses looked so good!) I decided 2 years ago to go grey/white, which also made me reflect on my current style. Turns out that soft summer, soft dramatic, ethereal, looks quite good with long white curls. I’ve ordered Ellie-Jean’s book and can’t wait to read it. ❤❤

[@LeahBeckhoff]

Gabby! I thought you were retiring from the style game but I am SO GLAD you’re back! I looooove your videos and whole approach! Who cares if you’re not a Kibbe purist! We adore and admire YOUR expertise! Also so fabulous to see you team up with Ellie-Jean! Sending so much love 💜💜💜

*Gaby! So sorry

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

No not retiring from the style game at all! Just not doing kibbe focused content anymore but thank you

[@andreaguidera1560]

Thanks to your video interview with Gizelle; I took Ellie-Jean’s quiz and what I did was to take the words of mushroom, mountain, sun and flower and I found that mushroom describes my use of neutrals. Mountain for the draping and structure that looks best on me, the sun for my statement and bling jewellery, and flower describing the fabrics that are best for me.

Thank you! It's going to be a fun exploration seeing how these new elements show up! So glad to hear you're enjoying these interviews!

[@onipot9639]

Also how are you finding the essence blend reading? I feel like the ones she pinpointed are your dominant in terms of your energy/vibe, but natural and dramatic (and romantic) are still there in terms of your silhouette. I love how she pinpointed your personality/energy more than just looking at your features.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

@@onipot9639 So i think she went based on my coloring and facial features, which is where PSC/kitcehner focuses. Kibbe tends to view yin/yang balance a little differently. I assume I'm still a Kibbe FN. But Liv Tyler is also a kibbe FN and has dominant I/R.. So I"m just trying to treat them as individual systems and how I merge them is dependent on my preferences, but having different answers in each system is common. I'm only 5 ft 6, so I"m not super tall or long, but I recognize in kibbe I'm still most likely an FN

[@karolinag1073]

Next great conversation 🙂. If I can have one remark - it would be great if you could ask more open questions to your guests, because many of them are questions with thesis. Or you start with open question....but then you add: "is it this or that". And I have a feeling that your guests, who are very creative people would often suprise us with answers if they would have more space or have to dig deeper, not confined to answer "yes, no, it's this". They are all quite talkative, so that saves the situation 😆, but it's risky! Keep going and keep growing! ❤️

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll try to keep that in mind for future interviews!

[@Carrie-sgda]

You need to get Silkymochi on the podcast. I love her dark aesthetic styling system and it really helped me bring all the information together and realise why earthy colours felt disconnected from my style and spirit despite being a Dark autumn .

[@madmoony6]

Sounds like our 3 main influences are the true “roots” of our style & the others we like are the flowers/trees that grow from the roots 🥰

[@vilde9379]

I've loved Elle Jean for a long time. So cool to see another fabulous women talking so intelligently about these topics. Looking at fashion and aestehics in these ways has allowed me to better understand why something gives certain effects. I used to not get why leather jackets fx looked so cool on other people but really weird on me. But then I realised I dont have a moon style root, I am an SD and soft autumn so (most often) black, heavy fabric jackets with a short line and no waist definition looks boxy in a very awkward way.

[@tarussell94]

On the flower example of crossing over with the other style systems (flower~soft gamine) there are so many different kinds of flowers! Like a lush rose could be ying and romantic or a small tight rose or tulip might look more classic but a Lilly might be more dramatic and Yang with its sharp angles, a daisy feels quite obviously gamine.. I think there is something in this…

[@beannnnnnna]

AAAHH THE WAY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 😭😭

[@LexiePersonForever]

I’m the flamboyant natural with the mushroom flower (and mountain) style roots LOL I find it’s more about honoring the space and silhouette of my body type and then allowing a lot of that mushroom in and maybe a few frills here and there or maybe a bow on the sleeve for the flower or just lighter makeup and the curled hair for the flower and obviously I feel like mountain can just work really well with us Yang types. But it does help that I have a strong classic essence I think, to help pull in the mushroom.

[@giliyavneh207]

This was really great. I’ve really enjoyed trying to figure out my style roots, but couldn’t settle on a third one (after sun and moon). I waited patiently to see the different examples on Pinterest which made me even more confused both because I was surprised by what resonated with me the most (sun+moon+flower) but also because I found quite a few other categories that felt right but involved different roots. I loved what you said about reinterpreting other trends or roots through our main three because it made me notice that I could indeed interpret or adjust most of the looks I liked through the sun moon and flower roots, and I felt much more confident in that choice.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Glad it helped you see things in a new way!

So so many great questions! The most important thing for me would be looking for ansewers inside not the outside. I wasted so much time asking people on a group ,stylists about my Kibbe body type and color season. People say I must be a gamine, theatrical romantic, flamboyant natural and classic. How crazy is that?! I realised, I've totally lost myself and I knew what I like and look good before all that journey. It's that because I can't rely on someone else's opinion or a 'verdict' I need to feel it by myself 😊

This was so interesting! Thanks to both of you for doing this! I have been following Ellie-Jean for a while now and I'm familiar with her system. I was lucky enough to know that I was kibbe soft classic before I started learning her system, so I could see quite a few similarities between myself and Ellie-Jean. I would say my main style routes are flower and mushroom. I haven't yet identified if I have a third one and what it would be, but that's okay! Not knowing that leaves room for more self discovery and ultimately that's what makes this style journey so much fun. Looking forward to the next episode! 💕

I actually like changing my silhouettes in winter because my main priority is ease of getting dressed and being as warm as possible. I find that wearing tights can be tedious and I know I'm usually in a worse mood in winter. Does anyone else feel that they dress better/enjoy clothes more during certain seasons? I hate the cold so having a wide variety of pants has made a huge difference.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Yes, I think she was just giving an example if someone didn't want to change their silhouettes. I think everyone finds what works for them each season and how to tie their style toolbox elements together when the weather changes

[@yensid4294]

It's funny to me that Boho is associated with Natural essence/Kibbe type. I think of it as more Romantic, especially if you're using Stevie Nicks as your archetype. ( I think she's a Romantic/Dramatic type as far as style essence goes ) But I guess there''s a certain amount of overlap between Naturals & Romantics. I know I always score evenly between Natura & Romantic on style quizzes.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Ya it used to be very closely linked to the natural family in kibbe. But with Kitchener I would absolutely say boho fits much better in the romantic or even romantic/ingenue category.

[@annominous11]

Love this! You are two of my favorite people on Pinteres/youtube right now. If you’re looking to do more collars I’d love to see one with @silkymochi.

Most people have more than one style root,haven' they? So if you feel more e.g. "mountain" in a time, that was perhaps always one of your style roots and you just feel that aspect more.

If you ever do a part 2, I would love to hear the thoughts on what happens when a certified determination blow your beliefs. I had a Caygill color typing, and the colors are not what I expected. Also @elliejeanroyden, what happens if your colors just don't seem to be able to fit into the style root? Or if you cannot locate your colors not only in your wardrobe but they aren't remotely on sale? Thank you so much for this session.

[@Gabriellearrudadesign]

Well I’ve had a couple of those…finding out I’m a bright spring (through my sci art certification) and that I’m IRG in my essences on the Andrea pflaumer episode. I think it takes time to process and build up a relationship with how you use the info. My video on my analysis results might help. Also Ellie Jean has a video on how to use colors in her style roots palette and it goes over how to address it if they feel misaligned

[@brandidamore1751]

@@Gabriellearrudadesign TY! I have watched a LOT. ofher videos, yet cannot find what I am poorly articulating. In the CAYGILL, because I was determined to be a blue-eyered autumn I didn't even align with a specific archetype or season, and pulled from autumn, summer and spring (I have a mix of clarity and mutedness, cool overlayed with gold). and my colors are in smokey blue autumnal with some warmer (in corals and bricks), very dune beach in autumn grassy greens, driftwood, etc. And the colors are dark enough that it seems hard to bring in any dainty/feminine. I also can't find these colors I have in many clothing let alone to pull a style root. :). I can't seem to align my colors with Kibbe (the Kibbe book is in our LA Public library) and have no idea of what I am. I value what you both know. TY AGAIN!
