Greetings

Hello There.

I can't believe I've finally made it here! The idea for starting a blog has been brewing for quite some time now. Actually, I created one (which you can see here http://sequinsandstripes.blogspot.com/ ), but I discovered there was already another blog, which is really awesome btw, by that name. So I started slacking on my own, but here I am again, entering the blogging world and hopefully succeeding this time around! I believe this could possibly be one of the best things I ever do, plus it took some encouraging from my friends and co-workers....so here I am!

Some other things to know about me are...

• I'm a small town southern gal with big city dreams.
• I am proud to be a born and raised Tennessee gal.
• I am a 25 year old lover of all things FASHION! I was also a Fashion Merchandising major in college, just an FYI.
• My life long goal and also what I went to school for is to become a merchandise buyer (my dream job). I am still in the process of meeting that goal. Of course my real dream job, which is a total fantasy, is to become a wardrobe stylist for music videos/tv shows. Hey, a girl can dream.
• I am a self proclaimed magazine hoarder (No lie, I still have magazines from 1998. I just can't bring myself to throw them out).
• I honestly have a serious shopping problem. Clothes just make me feel good inside-at times I'm convinced I need to seek professional help, but don't most girls have this problem?
• I am completely and utterly obsessed with Paris, France and French culture. (I was lucky enough to visit when I was 17 and it changed my life).
• I am absolutely in love with gold whether it be jewelry, clothes, hardware on accessories, home decor...anything gold, I love it! And of course I love anything that glitters, sparkles, shimmers, and shines!
• I'm all into some celebrity gossip and am filled with useless information. I am a walking encyclopedia for celebs. No really - ask me anything! I can assure you I know the answer.If not, I'll find out. ;-)
• And lastly, I created this blog to write mostly about my love for fashion, however, this blog will most likely include posts about beauty, food, travel, personal, and celebrities, of course!
• One more thing. I don't have a personal photographer, so I apologize in advance for my either self portrait i-phone pictures or mirror pictures for outfit posts, haha. It will take me some time. I'm just a beginner afterall.

Thanks for stopping by!! Hope y'all will stick around for more!
xoxo
