My mom is my inspiration and “my why” for my ambition to finally pursue my dream and start blogging about the very thing that helped me cope during the most trying time of my life (well throughout my whole life).

Fashion. It has always been like therapy to me and something that I have genuinely enjoyed and has always been a huge part of my life. Even when I was a little girl my mom would tell me that I would not leave the store without wearing my new shoes, I would throw “a hissy fit” as she would say, and demand to wear them. Of course she couldn’t say no, and I believe it was that time that as a little girl that, I really developed my profound love for style.

Over the last two years, I watched as my mom fought a long, grueling battle with acute myeloid leukemia. She showed true strength, bravery and perseverance until her very last breath and she proved to me just how quickly this life can be taken from each and everyone of us. When she passed away in November 2020, I not only lost my mom, but my best friend as well and I began to lose myself in the grief. Until one day, I woke up and decided it was time to focus on myself again and start to get my spark back. I started focusing on my physical health as well as mental including diving into fitness and shopping for new looks. I did this for a while and quickly became excited to want to share my desire with others who have the same passion as I do. I am at my very best when I am putting different pieces together and getting creative with my personal style. My mom passed on to me that very same perseverance, and I know I can do anything my heart wants. I want to make my mom proud and be the very same woman she aways said I was capable of being.
