" Taylor Tomasi Hill. Photography by Diego Zuko. Taylor Tomasi Hill has a talent for crafting outfit combinations that are a magnet for street style photographers and have an eternal after-life on Pinterest. Whether it&amp;#039;s a floral blouse tucked into oversized blue Comme Des Gar\u00E7ons shorts or a feminine dress topped with a cropped Balenciaga jacket, her sharp eye\u2014for prints, colors, and shapes\u2014never fails to get it right. In October, the fashion world was shocked to hear that Tomasi Hill had left her post as creative director at luxury e-retailer Moda Operandi. Where would the fiery-haired beauty go next? She took a moment to breath, open her eyes, and smell the roses. Literally, soul searching led her to styling flowers rather than clothes. Here, she gives us the scoop on her budding business @TTHBlooms.  ElleDECOR.com: Why leave fashion for floral arranging? Taylor Tomasi Hill: @TTHBlooms is an organic venture that bloomed on its own. The minute I became a free agent I had daily meetings and wanted to thank everyone with something personal. I live in Chelsea so the flower market is basically my backyard. Daily visits became my automatic calendar invites and from there I was arranging my own blooms and personally dropping them around the city. The next thing I know, enquiring minds wanted the details of my local florist. From that point on I came clean, I am up for hire! It&amp;#039;s a great side gig as I am obsessed with blooms, so it&amp;#039;s become one of my passion projects.         Thank you @michellehellman for hiring me and loving my #tthblooms @TTHblooms A photo posted by Taylor Tomasi Hill (@ttomasihill) on Jan 29, 2014 at 11:47am PST     ED: When you left Moda Operandi, did you know that this is the route you&amp;#039;d be pursuing? TTH: When I left M&amp;#039;O I had no idea what was in my future. I knew it was time to focus on my family, reflect, and get inspired. ED: How do you find floral arranging and your career in fashion to be relative?  TTH: I went to art school, I&amp;#039;ve always had a passion for anything and everything lifestyle. A singular flower is a piece of art just as an arrangement can be. It&amp;#039;s all in the eyes of the beholder. ED: Does this mean you&amp;#039;ve left the fashion industry for good or will you still be consulting on the side? TTH: Never say never. BUT, as of now I will go on record and say I will never completely disappear from the fashion landscape that I love so dearly. I&amp;#039;m so thankful I fell into an industry that keeps me inspired and literally jumping out of bed each morning.        A photo posted by @tthblooms on Jan 29, 2014 at 11:34am PST     ED: How would you describe your floral creations or floral arranging style? TTH: TTHBlooms is focused on events as of now. My blooms are one size only, miniature, and are packed full of beauties! I&amp;#039;m not equipped to handle the one off arrangement here and there, that is unless a close friend comes a calling. ED: What are your favorite flowers? TTH: Hands down, Ranunculus are my favorite. I also love a Peony, but these are harder to come by year round. I love anything with texture, anything miniature, and I&amp;#039;m probably most talented when it comes to an untrained eye. You won&amp;#039;t get anything contrived from me. ED: I&amp;#039;m sure our readers would love to know how they can get their hands on some of your arrangements. Do you ship? TTH: Sorry ladies and gents, I wont be shipping internationally as of now, but if you plan on coming to the states I can meet you anywhere. I&amp;#039;m also starting wedding blooms which will include international clients, so if you are looking for anything from a bouquet to full on wedding blooms I&amp;#039;m here for you, and I travel well.         Wise words. Thank you @trishhill01 for all the \u2764\uFE0F and support!
