About Me

I guess the only way to start this off, is to jump in headfirst. My name is Steph and I grew up in Northern Virginia outside of DC. From an early age, I knew I wanted to work in fashion so after graduating college I made the move that seemed most natural and moved to New York City where I currently work as an account executive for an Accessories Design and Licensing Company. Although I desperately miss my friends and family from home in DC, I couldn’t imagine myself being anywhere else. I love the fast pace and high intensity environment that the city offers. I feel most alive when I’m on the go, juggling three to-do lists and chasing down a taxi cab in 4 inch heels, all while texting 6 people, fixing my lipgloss, and instagram uploading the New York City skyline…

So you’re probably wondering what my blog will consist of – well first the most obvious being fashion. I am addicted to online shopping and the “hunt” of finding the best sale- it makes me feel like I’ve beat the system or won the lottery- But I don’t want this blog to be a long string of OOTD’s and a laundry list of what I bought last week… I don’t want to paint this glorified /glamorized /airbrushed picture that I only play dress up all day because although I do enjoy my pumps and liquid leggings, that’s only a fraction of what my life really consists of and that is what I want this blog to be – the good, the bad, and the ugly but all of it being me. I plan on being raw and vulnerable and exposing my insecurities and weaknesses directly to you. I will apologize for mistakes that I make (and trust me I will make plenty) but I will never apologize for being me…. I really want to use this blog as a forum for therapy and self-growth. I know the first rule of blogging is to maintain your VOICE – and although I plan on doing that, you should know now there is nothing consistent about my life and my day-to-day so I don’t expect my blog to be either.  So with that said, here goes nothing!
