Hampden!

I got a job!

I'm officially the newest intern at Hampden Clothing! So exciting! It's one of the best and only places in Charleston I would consider working fashion industry wise. Hampden carries amazing labels (some of my favorite being Masscob, Rag & Bone, Helmut Lang, Elizabeth and James, Lizzie Fortunado), and is run by Stacy Smallwood, a knowledgeable and innovative buyer who has started up her own company and really made an impact in the fashion community. So far I love my coworkers, and the work has been interesting and enjoyable... and, yes, the clothes are amazing.

Oh, Hello!

A new blog. As a creative writing major it only makes sense that I have one. And as a fashion enthusiast I can't help but want to make one in the lieu of thesartorialist, lookbook, or fashiontoast. If you haven't explored these sites, I highly recommend them. However, I don't want to just limit my blog to fashion, which, as much as I love, I feel excludes so many intertwining and related social arts. So I will tell you now, I am a full time literature junkie, with a pension for melancholy, a part-time artist who likes to stay in the loop, a music fan (though limited in my own musical capabilities), and, yes, a style lover, who believes that fashion is every bit the artistic media as classic literature. My hope is that this site will be as intellectually stimulating as it is visually inspiring and fashionably informative.
