Common Questions
WHY DID YOU START A FASHION BLOG?
I started my career off in fashion and after about five years in the industry I decided to go in a completely different direction. I realized shortly after that I missed fashion!! At a previous job, I also helped launch a website and worked on one for about two years. I find eCommerce fascinating, so this was a way for me to spruce up my skills.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
Classic with a twist. I was raised dressing very preppy and conservative (think Ralph Lauren collared shirts- WITH the collar popped). In college, I experimented with some more trendier fashions, but realized after college that it just wasn’t ‘me’. Today I would say I am a mix of both worlds. Preppy and conservative during the week (I work in a very conservative office) and a little more trendy on the weekends (at times, at least).
WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
Chicago, IL in the West Loop #westloopisthebestloop
HOW MANY PAIRS OF JEANS DO YOU OWN?
Currently 15 pairs, but at any given time I have about 20 pairs in my Nordstrom shopping cart. Did I mention I can only wear jeans ONCE a month at my current job?!?!
WHAT IS YOUR GO TO OUTIFT?
Jeans and a t-shirt with a sweater. I am always cold!
WHAT KIND OF CAMERA DO YOU USE?
Sony Alpha 6000 Mirrorless Camera. My husband and I purchased it for Christmas, so I am still getting the hang of it.
WHO TAKES YOUR PHOTOS?
My husband Kurt takes most of them- he’s pretty good, right?!?
