What inspired you to create your blog?

I have been expressing myself online since 1999 when I founded ProveReal.com, a fashion and nightlife image-driven blog. I was always ahead of my time. When I moved to NYC and started getting serious about styling I started blogging because I wanted an outlet to speak my mind. I was fed up of print media’s unrealistic editorials. I wanted to show women that style can be easy and down to earth. It’s focus has become to support my business as a personal stylist. My potential clients can get a taste for me and how I operate.
