30 Street Style - 30 Questions on 30A - Amy Giles

If you’ve ever met Amy Giles, you know she is a chic ball of energy. She’s a Type A girl who is always on the go, warmly greets you with a hug and remembers to ask about that little detail from whatever your last conversation was. All with impeccable style. With a background in medical sales, it’s no surprise that when she planned a distinct curve in her career path last fall to have a more flexible schedule, her newfound job title as a stylist would bring out the same dedication and passion she was used to devoting to her former career. Enter Wardrobe Made Simple, a business Amy has developed to help women (and men!) take an organized approach to fashion and feel more confident through personal style. When she isn’t spending time with her husband John and twin girls Cooper and Riley, Amy makes the rounds on 30A and travels the south meeting with clients, reworking wardrobes and shopping for just the right pieces to fit an individual’s style or budget. To kick off our new feature “30 Questions on 30A” we caught up with Amy in a fitting locale – the fabulous closet in her WaterSound home. Take a look and be sure to scroll down for all the fab photos captured by Jacqueline Ward Images.

5 things I’m reading, watching or listening to t 5 things I’m reading, watching or listening to this week

(Side note: this might seem like a lot, but let me explain. When I have a ton of design work and editing, I tend to go overboard consuming media as I work. It’s like having a comfort show playing, but I prefer not to repeat much.)

- The Last Thing He Told Me on AppleTV with Jennifer Garner (loved the book and so far enjoying the adaptation - suspenseful and interesting) 

- Happy Place by Emily Henry (a cute beach read about a couple dragging out the end of their relationship so they don’t have to tell their friend group they’ve called off their engagement)

- Smartless Podcast recent-ish episodes with Eugene Levy, Tracee Ellis Ross and John Krasinski (the banter of the hosts Will Arnett, Sean Hayes and Jason Bateman is always gold)

- The Night Agent on Netflix (a political thriller series about a cute FBI agent working the night desk trying to save the nation as he works to uncover a government mole and a killer).

- Queen Charlotte on Netflix (a Bridgerton prequel sharing more of young Charlotte’s start as a royal with plenty of opulence to admire and a soundtrack to hum all day)

Any recommendations for when I reach the end of this current list?

TGIF. A few things about me: Fridays are fabulous TGIF. A few things about me:

Fridays are fabulous. 

I love a perfectly punctuated sentence. 

I can appreciate a spontaneous adventure and may or may not decide one morning to drive 6 hours and book Taylor Swift tickets 2 hours before showtime.

I tend to develop a pretty addictive bubble gum habit when my to-do list gets long.

I love a good piña colada - poolside or beachfront preferable.

I have a dress for any occasion and once went about a year without wearing jeans or pants (dresses only).

I'm probably running late for something as I’m typing this.
