Hey, you! Welcome to my cozy corner of the internet! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Blake, well, Barbara Blake, technically. I run the show around here, and by that, I mean the one-woman show. I hope you feel every bit of love and excitement that went into all the big and small details of this retail-therapy experience. Each piece was hand-selected by me while thinking of you rocking your new outfit at the next girls’ trip, family function, first date, or Insta post. 

 

Let me tell you a bit about me and my love for fashion. I’m going to start with little Blake. She was influenced early on to love ALL things girly and chic. Her mom created high standards of being a homemaker. She could’ve competed with Betty Crocker and Martha Stewart any day of the week, all while wearing a perfectly curated outfit every single day--accessories and all... and that was well before #OOTD. If that wasn't enough, my grandma taught me that a red lip (and a little faith!) will take you anywhere you want to go in life. 

 

I’ve never been afraid to step out of the house in a bold piece. In high school, I didn’t like to wear the same thing to school twice. Not because we had an infinite budget, but because high-school-Blake was a frequent flyer at the local Goodwill. I would take an article from Vogue, pick an outfit that I couldn’t afford in a million years, and find similar pieces in the thrift store to put my dream outfit together.

 

So, that's it. That's a small piece of the "why" behind this adventure. I'm so grateful that you've decided to come along for the ride and join our community of strong women. I read something recently that said the way you present yourself is your personal brand. So, what is your brand telling the world?
