This month, Opening Ceremony is taking our juice cleanse to the next level with a new edition of Sartorial Snacks, where food and fashion mix (literally) to create the perfect concoction. In the spirit of healthy living and our new produce-inspired Pre-Fall 2015 collection, we’re introducing you to some of our fave juicers, with personal recipes to match.
It’s safe to assume that many of us have a very low tolerance for social-media food pictures. Seriously, why are so many people obsessed with sharing their food and beverage choices? However, there’s always that moment when our judgements quickly turn into hypocrisy… We see that one food picture—or in this case Instagram account—and we can’t look away. Suddenly the meaning behind food porn becomes crystal clear.
To put it not-so-lightly, when we stumbled upon Stephanie Park we fell into a very hungry Instagram k-hole. At one moment I realized I was staring at her Instagram so aggressively, that I suddenly looked around, afraid someone would catch me. So it was settled: we had to meet this girl who made healthy food look so appetizing.
Stephanie was an art director working in advertising, and if you know anything about agency life, it almost always means long hours and lots of takeout. Like many of us, the “I’m unhealthy” lightbulb went off and she decided to do something about it. Stephanie started cooking at home, which quickly became more than a healthy life choice, but also a creative hobby. Recently, Stephanie decided to pursue her passion full-time and is about to announce a top-secret business venture in the healthy-living space… And judging from her Instagram, we can safely say you’ll want to be on the lookout.
Below, Stephanie chats more about her healthy living journey and reveals her Orange Boost juice recipe that she recommends to kickstart your morning.

CARLY AIMI: Food pics are an endless debate on Instagram. I’ve seen awful ones, there are amazing ones. Do you have any tips for rookies? How do you make them look so beautiful?
STEPHANIE PARK: I would say really just focus on the food. You can see that I put a lot of thought into the decorations and what goes into things like the plating. I’m just making the food shine. If I have an ingredient that I use, I’ll also use it as a decoration in order to create a story. It’s also important for me for people to feel they can do it themselves and that it’s easy, instead of just a beautiful picture.
Why did you choose to create this juice today?
It’s funny with juicing, I tried it a few years ago and wasn’t into it. I would buy blueprint cleanses, 3-day, 5-day cleanses, and they would never stick. It was too restrictive. I started making juice on my own because I’m particular about flavors. It made me appreciate every ingredient used and how they all blend together. I love thinking, “Oh, that&
