Hello there! I'm Paige, a 22 year old southern girl who loves fashion, art, shopping, photography, and traveling.
Here’s where I share a little bit about my background with you. In 2012, at the age of 17, I graduated from the University of Arkansas with an Associate’s degree in General Education. I then proceeded to advance my education further at Henderson State University ,where I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising and a minor in 2D Studio Art in 2014. During my junior and senior years, I also managed and operated my own clothing business in a local city. It was a busy 2 years for me! In addition to solely managing and operating a clothing store, I also designed and produced a line of specialty high school t-shirts and headbands for three states, produced and hosted fashion shows, and ran publicity for the store.
Did I mention that I was a active member of the Alpha Sigma Tau sorority, competed in pageants, was a member of the honor society, participated in endless hours of community service, lived by myself, cooked for an endless number of amazing friends that were always at my apartment, and lived the "normal" college life during all of this. Whew, now I know why I never got any sleep!
Oh yeah, and I was only 17 when I opened the store!
Due to location issues and circumstances that I could not control, in spring of 2015 , I closed the doors. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work in other retail establishments which has allowed me to further my knowledge in the fashion industry. During my time at Dillard’s, I assisted with and modeled for their company in fashion shows, assisted the visual merchandising manager with displays, and learned even more about forecasting fashion trends and upcoming color schemes. In the summer of 2016, I was trained by a celebrity makeup artist and obtained certification as a makeup artist myself. Now with multiple degrees and certifications under my belt, along with former experience in all things fashion, I am re-branding and re-opening my business! I have learned a lot along the way and I would love nothing more than to share my knowledge and advice with all of you!
Happy shopping!
xoxo Paige
