Hey y’all! I’m Christian and I’m so happy you stopped by! I’m originally from Spartanburg, SC and currently live in Tampa, FL. At a young age, I knew I had a love for fashion! I remember playing dress up with (what seemed like) hundreds of Barbies with my younger sister and having their outfits strung all over our playroom each day. That carried over into high school when I wrote down my daily outfits in a notebook so that I didn’t outfit repeat too often lol!
Coincidentally, I ended up majoring in Retail with an emphasis in Fashion Merchandising at the University of South Carolina and graduating with a Bachelor of Arts. Shortly after graduation, I applied for a job as a salesperson at Nordstrom and ended up working there for almost 17 years. What I thought was going to be a temporary job turned into a full career, where I was able to learn many different facets of retail and fully style men, women and children.
During my career and a little later in life, I met my husband Dan when I was 37. We knew we were soulmates instantly and got engaged about 9 months after dating. We got married 8 months after that (October 2019) and got our French Bulldog, that December. We welcomed our biggest blessing, daughter Raleigh, in January of 2021. As we always say, we don’t do anything slow!
I made the decision to leave Nordstrom in January of 2020 and focus on my blog full time. While it started out as mainly fashion, it has now evolved into more everyday life. I love sharing my experience as a first time mom, home decor, our family’s famous recipes, beauty, our dog Vinny, fitness and our life as a family in general.
My goal throughout all of this is to help others feel confident in their own skin and personal style and to inspire all women not only in fashion, but through my personal life experiences. I want to be a positive role model and source of encouragement to everyone!
Thank you so much for stopping by and for your support! It truly means the world!
