About à la Mode St.

Rachel E. Dahl (RED) attended George Mason University and the University of Maryland University College and pursued a B.S. in Information Technology. Her portfolio includes works done for GMU, Loudoun County, and Prince William County of VA. Rachel is happily married to Robert, a copy editor and a musician. They run a business together that has little to do with their educational background and previous occupation but swear that it is the best job ever.

à la Modest is her platform for expressing her ideas on style that reflects a woman who is confident of her own beauty and worth without the need to put out because of public pressure.

The styles incorporated on my blog are based on personal inspirations from my favorite decades’ pop or underground culture, music, movies/shows, and art scene.

I write about feminism and femininity with a different angle, strengthening women’s freedom through the boundaries of morality.

I eat 100% gluten-free food, and I like yoga and Pilates. I am a big supporter of natural products, and I truly believe in their benefits over synthetic chemicals. I am open to alternative lifestyles.

I am a constant learner and a fan of capitalism. I believe in sacrificing my own freedoms for the greater good.

I have been a business owner and a Web Designer/Developer since childhood. I like science but not so much on popular personal technology. I think popular personal technology is easily abused and weakens social relationships. I like sci-fi, fantasy, and psychological movies the best. If I had to pick one genre of music to listen to, I’d pick post punk.

My favorite fashion designers are Alexander McQueen and Ann Demeulemeester. Although I like their designs, I mostly wear mod clothing.

I like puns, alliteration, and clever humor.
