You know when you are out and about and someone says, "and what do you do"? Well..... I pretty much DO everything color and design! My obsession with all things style, lead the way to discovering my truest passion: creating a styled life that screams sophistication and originality, in my own Styling business called, THE LifeStyled COMPANY. While I'm not in business mode, I spend as much time possible with the man of my dreams, the sweetest baby girl, and a plethora of supportive friends and family. I am a bargaining junkie, an avid home cook, a serial entertainer, a barre enthusiast, a diehard fashionista and a reality TV nut! I'd love to connect with you on the blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram
