Lets start from the TOP, that's where you'll find the best view!! ; )

Ready?! OK!! So, Lily Jo. Lily is from my Grandma, Lillian Hurst, my father's mother. A woman with impeccable style and a passion for a great bargain. Oooh the memories of the outrageous gifts from Grandma Hurst!! The unforgettable yellow sweats I wore to school, that won me the nickname of "big bird," for the day. The countless number of felt hats that she gave us, in every color you can imagine; floral jumpsuits, MC Hammer pants, the list goes on. As I previously stated, this woman had impeccable style! Jo is from my Grandma, Joan Cherry, my mother's mother. The woman that started the sweatsuit trend. I'm not sure I have any memories growing up of my Grandma Cherry dressed in anything other than a classy, matching, jewel toned, track suit... of course she had matching accessories and she had the sweatsuits in, what seemed like, 100 different colors.
Now, I am not naming my blog after my Grandmothers because of track suits and funky hats. I am naming my blog after my Grandmothers because it was the two of them that have passed down to me their love for fashion! It is my Lily and my Jo that have inspired me to follow my dreams in pursuit of a career in the fashion industry! That's the name!!
Back to the basics. I am Lindsay. I am 25, ancient, I know. As far back as I can remember I have been interested in fashion. Growing up I enjoyed playing dress up, putting my hair in curlers, shopping in my Mom's closet, imitating other people and trying to replicate outfits that caught my eye! I live in La Jolla, a beach town in San Diego. I spend the weekends on Palomar Mountain with my sisters and their lovely families. I attend school at FIDM, all three southern California campuses. I am very social, I enjoy the company of my friends, family and most other people, but alone time is also a very important part of my life and my sanity. I do not judge. I am completely open minded. To Each Their Own! This is your life too, it's just my world you're living in. Remember that! ; )
My Style can't be defined. My style is always evolving. Through out the week, while living at the beach, I try to keep casual chic. Nobody is walking down the streets of La Jolla in five inch stilettos and a sequin swim cap, for me it's all about adaptability. I am a versatile person, I enjoy a wide variety of activities. It is vital to dress the part.  It is important to dress for yourself, as well. In order to exude confidence you must be comfortable. Some days I'm Gothic and  wear black from head to toe, others I look like a walking pinata, it's all dependent on my mood and that days events.
With this blog, I will share with you all of my latest and greatest knowledge. Trends, fashion events, icons, photo shoots, anything and everything in my life that is fashion related will be on this blog. On school days, I will take a picture of my outfit and post it to the blog, as well as any other day that I feel my outfit is particularly special! As I've gotten older I have learned how to appreciate my style as well as yours.  We don't need to look alike, in fact, I don't want to look like anybody else. The world would be boring if we all looked the same. A daily goal for myself, is to incorporate a flirty approachable vibe and always be fearless. If I think, this outfit is me, I'm going to rock it, even if I was a completely different me yesterday!!

  1. I wish everyone had your attitude Linds. It would make the world a lot brighter! Grandma Cherry also loved velure suits, RED lipstick, and sometimes a really snazzy blouse. I love that you named part of your blog after her. You definitely got grandma's glamor!
