About Me

Hey All,

I appreciate you taking the time to check out my blog! I can't wait to share all my favorite trends, beauty routines, outfits, the visual work I do at Charlotte, and much more! My name is Alyssa and I am a key holding supervisor at Charlotte Russe. I am also finishing up my 3rd year as a psychology student and will (fingers crossed) be graduating at the end of next school year! I love all things fashion related, always have.. I'm pretty sure I've been dressing myself since I was 3 (probably not always Vogue worthy, though lol). That's the passion that put me in the position I'm in at work. (That's me in the middle with the red ear warmers. I was at a store meeting this past November with my coworkers. Our theme was cute and cozy, so we all dressed in sweaters and beanies, even though it was 75 degrees outside.. gotta love California lol)

I am in charge of the visual and styling department. For those who do not work in retail, that means I dress the mannis, do the window work, dress bust and body forms, do uppers.. that sort of thing. Don't be fooled by the glam, it's actually really hard work! You have to be able to think business wise, fashion wise, incorporate personal preferences, consumer taste, marketing.. it's kind of exhausting! But, I adore it! My career aspiration after I finish college is to work in the visual department in a corporate setting. But enough of that!

I am also a full time mommy to 3 wonderful puppies- Athena, Wesson, and Ruby. They will make cameos, periodically- they are the best models (; I have the best support team on my side- my family, friends, and my boyfriend Pete. Pete and I have been friends since we were 11 years old, but started dating a little under a year ago.. But I don't know how I ever lived without him. He's like a combo of Prince Charming and McDreamy. (I really have come home to rose petals on the bed with a love note) It is true what they say, when you meet the one, you just know!

I have recently given up meat and adopted a more vegetarian lifestyle. I suffer from chronic migraines, and the doctors suggested I remove red meat from my diet. I still eat chicken and will indulge in carne asada or an innout hamburger every now and then, however I try to keep it cleaner these days. Fish is actually really tasty, guys! I love coffee and Nutella.. and Nutella coffee lol. Although I do love me some Starbz, little coffee shops are my fav. I try to limit myself to one cup a day, so I try to choose my caffeinated drinks wisely.

I use my blog as a way to express not only current fashion trends, but also my own interpretations. I have a very unique sense of style, sometimes I'm 90s grunge, other times I'm hipster.. It all depends on how I am feeling that day. I enjoy all types of fashion and love to inspire others with how I dress. I hope you enjoy!

xoxo,

Lyss
