The beginning of a beautiful friendship

Meet Your Author

I'm an aspiring fashion guru and new production & design intern in New York City. I'm 21 years young and living life to the fullest! I go to the best school in the SEC and couldn't ever imagine ever having gone else where. I'm a Southern pageant queen, ex-sorority girl and the most vivacious person you will ever meet. SEC football is my second religion and I believe in always wearing a dress and pearls to every game. Sporting the face tattoo and shaker is also a necessity and I'd rather have a game date than sit with the girls. (Only because Liquor Town is closer to the 50 yd line.) No matter where I am I always have my sparkly coozie with me, life wouldn't be complete without it. I believe in monograming everything and that I'd be lost without J.Crew and Lilly Pulitzer in my life. I have BIG dreams. I'm my Momma's pride & joy and my Daddy's little girl. My family and friends are truly my rock and keep me grounded when I tend to be flighty. I'm 100% girly girl but I'm still a tomboy at heart. I rock the Costas with blue & pink monogramed croakies. And live in pocket tees and Nike running shorts while I'm at school. I'm a Big City Girl living in a Small Town. I'm also one of the only ones from my hometown not getting married in the next year and that's still single.

I  believe that it's possible to have roots and still have wings. My roots have made me the person I am today. I grew up off the gulf coast of Florida, 20 minutes away from the Florida-Alabama state line (it's basically L.A. (Lower Alabama.))  I've been lucky enough to have the best of both worlds: the beach and the country. Two completely different lifestyles that I've luckily managed to intertwine. The beach has always been my saving grace and the place I could escape to. And it's also been one of my biggest inspirations for my designs and photography. It's where I spent my high school years and making memories that I hope to never forget. But the country, it's where I spent the majority of my time growing up these past almost 22 years. I come from a blue collar family where everything we have my Daddy has worked his tail off for. I've been hunting and fishing since I was only a year old and I can shoot a gun better than most boys can. I know how to drive a tractor and a backhoe and I can wire break lights on a semi. I was 5 when I started riding 4-wheelers and learned how to drive a Jeep in our hayfield. I grew up in a Southern Baptist church and every Sunday after we had lunch at my Grandparents. My family has taught me that if you want something bad enough you'll never let anything stand in your way. And my Momma has always said that there's always going to be people out there's jealous of you and you just gotta give 'em hell and kill 'em with kindness.

So you ask, "What's this blog going to be about?"

This blog is basically going to be my diary, open and standing there naked for all to read. It's a tale-all of the next few months of my life experiences and shenanigans as I venture through the next 3 months as a fashion intern in New York City. It's my hopes, my dreams and my desires of what I want to achieve in the Fashion Industry. It's my attempt at recounting for the events of my 22nd birthday. It's the entertainment of my dating life in the City. (Which yes will more than likely be very entertaining to many.) It's my list of goals, my rants and my thoughts for the next 3 months. It's my life in a nutshell through entries and photos. It's something that I hope in some ways will inspire some to dream big. So please fasten your seatbelt and hold on tight because it's about to be a wild ride.
