About
Hello, I’m Miss Elle.
I founded this blog in 2007 to share my bargain finds with my friends, and it’s grown into a fashion community where quality rules, and price points are always negotiable.
It’s about quality.
It’s about design.
It’s about your aesthetic.
After jobs as a newspaper editor, fashion photographer, stylist and marketing coordinator – I decided to leave the corporate life and go into business for myself as a professional apparel addict.
Years of frustration with common publications spawned the desire to make this blog bigger than just a web log. Picking up a magazine and seeing the first 40 pages full of high-end luxury ads, followed by editorials suggesting you just run to the nearest Neiman Marcus and pick up the latest Alexander Wang plain t-shirt dress simply infuriate me. While designers are obviously to be respected, I refuse to pay $90 for a white tee, or $150 for a pencil skirt, and so on.
Truly unique designer items will absolutely show their faces on B&B – provided they’re worth the money that’s being asked for them.
Other places you’ll see me:
I’m also a fulltime blogger, along with my best friend Jen, at The Demoiselles. Over there, it’s still fashion – but we take a lot of time to focus on positive body image because feeling beautiful in your clothes is what it’s all about, right? We’ve built our site and brand together, from the ground up, and have received international attention for our ideas, as well as praise from highly respected celebrities and activists.
Currently, I’m the 2009 National Fashion Examiner for Examiner.com. I cover media and industry news from an insider’s perspective. Please check it out! You won’t be disappointed.
Last but not least, I occasionally contribute to the Independent Fashion Bloggers‘ website, offering content relating to maintaining a blog, creating content, and self-promotion/networking.
I’m addicted to Twitter and live on it all day. Sometimes I say strange things, so be ready!
YOU INTO STALKING? Good news!
xoxo.
