Meet Yana

Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’re here.

Hi, I’m Yana B., founder of Style Stamped, storyteller, creative, mom, and believer that you don’t have to look like what you’ve been through.

Born and raised in New York and now based in Washington, DC, I’ve spent the last decade building a space where style meets real life, and fashion, motherhood, and resilience coexist beautifully. Style Stamped began as a personal blog and evolved into a lifestyle brand rooted in intentionality, self-expression, and celebrating every chapter with grace and good style.

I’m a mom of two, a college-aged daughter and a spirited little boy, and through their different life stages, I’ve learned that “having it all together” looks different for everyone. My content is for women who are living real, layered lives, the ones balancing motherhood, work, identity, and growth while still showing up with confidence and creativity.

From New York Fashion Week coverage to everyday home moments, from brand storytelling to community building with Black Bloggers DC, everything I create is infused with authenticity, warmth, and purpose. Style Stamped is about finding beauty in the in-between, on the days that challenge you and the ones that make you shine.

Whether you’re here for style inspiration, motherhood stories, content creation for your brand, to book a style consultant service, or a reminder that your journey is still worth celebrating, welcome. You’re in the right place.

Style. Confidence. Real Life.
That’s the stamp. ✨

FAQ

I started Style Stamped in 2014 as a creative outlet after transitioning into a government career in Washington, DC. Before that, I worked in fashion merchandising for major brands including Belk, Nautica, and Urban Outfitters. What began as a personal blog to keep my creative spark alive has grown into a lifestyle platform that blends fashion, motherhood, and intentional living with purpose and style.

Style Stamped is more than fashion — it’s identity, resilience, and intention. It means leaving your mark through how you show up, dress, and live.

To be Style Stamped is to wear your story with confidence and grace — to own your journey and make every chapter look and feel like you.

My favorite places to shop reflect the rhythm of my real life with a mix of fashion, motherhood, and home. For myself, I love local DC boutiques for statement pieces, and I always find something timeless at Nordstrom, Saks, or Zara. I support Black-owned designers like Fe Noel, Hanifa, Brandon Blackwood, and BruceGlen, because creativity and representation matter in my wardrobe.

For my son Lee, I shop at Target, Old Navy, H&M Kids, and LEGO.com, and I love finding fun, comfy pieces that fit his personality. We’re always in Walmart, Costco and Trader Joe’s for family favorites, and I make our home feel warm with finds from HomeGoods, Amazon, and Glade.

Whether it’s styling an outfit, refreshing my space, or restocking our pantry, I believe style lives in every part of life — what you wear, how you live, and the moments you create at home.

I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) with lupus nephritis in 1995 and received a kidney transplant from my mother in 1999. Her gift gave me a second chance at life, and I’ve been committed ever since to living fully and intentionally.

My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s shaped how I see the world and how I show up every day – with gratitude, faith, and purpose. Living with lupus taught me the power of resilience, and my transplant taught me the meaning of grace. I focus on maintaining my health, caring for my body, and creating a life that’s full of joy, style, and peace.

Through my story, I hope to remind others that health challenges don’t define you, they refine you. You can still build a beautiful, fulfilling life while caring for yourself and your spirit.

I offer personal styling, closet edits, virtual styling sessions, and special-event look curation. Services are available both in-person (DC area) and virtually.

There are a few ways to connect and collaborate with me through Style Stamped.

If you’re looking for personal styling or image consulting, I offer both in-person and virtual sessions to help you define your style, refresh your wardrobe, and create looks that reflect who you are becoming. You can learn more or book a session through my Services page.

For brands and PR companies, I love partnering on campaigns that align with my lifestyle — fashion, motherhood, home, beauty, and intentional living. I create authentic, high-quality content that tells real stories and connects with my audience in meaningful ways.

If you’re hosting an event or brand experience, I’m open to attending and sharing it through my community. I cover everything from local DC activations to national brand events and press trips that highlight creativity, culture, and connection.
