25 Things You Didn’t Know About Fashion.Style.Beauty
August 25, 10
This Fashion Week, keep your eyes and ears open for the clicking of pink suede Dior heels, worn by this Human Resources Executive turned fashion, style, beauty expert. And, if you are nice to her, she may just show you Jennifer Garner’s high school yearbook picture.

1). The first time I walked into the tents at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week was the first time that I can honestly say that I’ve been in love. You know that feeling where your heart beats really quickly, you can’t breathe and you feel like you’re falling? Yep, that was experience walking into the tents. It still happens every time I go back.
2). I just started wearing contact lenses three weeks ago. Until then, I’d worn glasses my entire life and I would take them off for photos.
3). I’m on the downhill side of losing almost 100 lbs. 20 lbs to go!
4). I’m from Charleston, WV and yes, I went to high school with Jennifer Garner. She graduated the year after I did. She’s a total sweetheart and deserves every ounce of success and happiness she’s earned.
5). I’ve lived in DC, San Francisco, Jacksonville, Tampa, Boston, Charlotte, Charleston and NYC. I prefer NYC.
6). That being said, I think I’m the only person on earth that likes Los Angeles and New York City equally. I’ll inevitably settle in Los Angeles.
7). I bought my first pair of high-end designer shoes earlier this year. My pink suede Diors are my life.
8). I detest condiments. I don’t eat ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish – none of it. I didn’t eat salad dressing or barbecue sauce until I was almost 20.
9). I became a full-time writer only a couple of years ago. Before that, I was in Human Resources. I don’t plan on ever going back.
10). Nothing infuriates me more than ungracious, rude people.
11). My favorite thing in the world to do is take a nap in the middle of the day. This very rarely happens.
12). I love to make people laugh and if you meet me, I’ll probably take a shot at making you laugh, too. I’m really goofy.
13). One of my life’s goals is to close Kirna Zabete down for a private shopping excursion.
14). As soon as Fashion Week is over, I’m launching another blog/site – for brides. Stay tuned.
15). I meditate for twenty minutes almost every morning. I think it’s made me a better writer and a more focused person. I even have a little altar in my bedroom.
16). I am a huge fan of heavy metal music. My first crush in life was Eddie Van Halen and I can’t say that I wouldn’t try to jump him if ever given a chance to meet him.
17). I don’t get starstruck very easily but I almost blacked out when I met Joanna Coles, the EIC of Marie Claire. She’s kind of my idol.
18). I’m fully convinced I could die happy after meeting Oprah Winfrey. I admire her over most people.
19). I’m convinced that creating Fashion.Style.Beauty has made me a better, happier, more fulfilled person. If you have a dream, go after it. You’ll be so glad you did.
20). My shoulders are double-jointed. I can pop my shoulder in and out of the socket for fun. It’s weird and gross but it was cool at summer camp. Go figure.
21). For my birthday next year, I’m planning on taking a month off and traveling to Italy. I’m learning Italian as we speak.
22). My goal in life is to cover Fashion Week in every city: New York, London, Paris, Milan, Miami (Swim), Sao Paulo and Tokyo.
23). I’m very uncomfortable with people I don’t know touching me.
24). I have 545 unread emails in my inbox. I have no idea when they’ll get answered because I answer over 100 a day and they just get replaced.
25). I’m happier now than I have ever been in my whole life.
