My name is Amy Murphy and I am here to inform you on some of the hottest fashions for this upcoming season. I am currently a senior at Johnson & Wales University majoring in none other than Fashion Merchandising & Retail Marketing.
Now, I'm not going to claim my passion for fashion started as a young girl playing with my barbies. Let's be serious, that's rarely the case. In fact, I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian, crime scene investigator and according to my elementary school yearbook a superstar! A kid can dream can't she? But on a serious note, many people don't discover their passions until later on in life and there is nothing wrong with that. I didn't know a career in fashion was for me until my sophomore year of high school where such shows as Project Runway and Fashion Police inspired me. Ultimately, my main goal is to work as a visual merchandiser or a buyer.
Let's get into why I'm starting this blog: I am very passionate about writing, always have been. I wrote my first "story" when I was 8. Maybe it didn't win a Nobel Peace Prize, but I was pretty darn proud of myself. I have always scoured fashion magazines (Instyle anyone?) to read the articles and gain inspiration. This blog is a perfect way for me to mix my passion of writing with my passion for fashion to educate you guys about some hot new trends and how to wear them. This will also be a great piece to enhance my portfolio and who knows;maybe I'll become a fashion writer one day. Oh the possibilities [insert dreamy sigh]. The fact that this is 30% of my final grade for my Fashion Forecasting Class could also be an influence as well.
I will be posting as much as possible but I am a busy person: work, class,studying, trying to maintain some type of social life. Ya know, just your typical college student. But you can expect a post one a week, every Thursday from yours truly.
I would love to hear your thoughts as well so feel free to comment!
What inspires your fashion sense?
Until next time, fashionistas!
