Sparkle Every Day

A graduate of The Fashion School at Kent State with 12 years of experience in the Fashion Industry beginning with an internship at Chanel and ranging from product development work with Macy's private label brands, where I gained a strong understanding of fabric and production, to ModCloth's dedicated in-house PR team, I am an energetic and enthusiastic Fashion Marketing professional with a passion for trend forecasting, product placement, media relations, partnerships and celebrity/entertainment outreach. Recently named to The Incline's "Who's Next: Style" in 2018. Deemed one of the 14 people making Pittsburgh a more polished city. Outside of my normal 9-5, I am an experienced personal stylist working with clients like the Pittsburgh Steelers, for their Steelers Style Fashion Show. I can also be found blogging at sparkleeveryday.tumblr.com & athletichic.com, as a counsel member at Style412 and on the board at Carnegie Library of Homestead.My motto? “Life is too short to save your sparkles, sparkle every day!” To book a styling appointment or session with me, please contact: [email protected]

Please keep @herman_the_hermanator in your prayers. I hate to bother you for this, but it would mean so much. He’s been having an issue with his back leg and he seems to be taking a turn for the worse. We’re heading to the ER soon. #3toesdontcare #fromrabbitcagetoriches #latergram https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvo3wHfh7-p/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v4v5w3q8gg75

It took 13 years to build my career in the fashion industry, so I need to remind myself that my next move won’t happen overnight. My calendar sure knows what I need to hear.

I was at the @acehotelpittsburgh this morning for a meeting and who do I look up to see but @marylambertsing!! I’ve been helping to dress the amazing Mary in ModCloth for FIVE years now and this was our first time meeting. The stars sure did align to make this happen.

Winslow was quite the churchgoer at Ash Wednesday mass this morning! He even managed to get baby sized ashes (zoom to see). We definitely have a goofball on our hands, but an oh so sweet one! His little amens, prayer hands 🙏🏼 and swaying to the music was too much for me 😭#dubreese526 #winnieblueeyes526 #babyreesewintercollection https://www.instagram.com/p/BurOAwSBPoJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f8xmqfotxjwl

As one part of my professional identity (@ modcloth) wraps up soon (one I’ve built from scratch and filled with massive amounts of hard work & love for almost 10 years) I’m so very grateful for my position on the counsel of @style412 . I’ve spent the WHOLE weekend with these badass ladies as we continue to build our plans around how we WILL (not try, will) unite the fashion community here in Pittsburgh & create the future of this industry. Thank you, @ascenderpgh!! One door may be closing, but the ones that are opening are already filled with so much more love and appreciation than I’ve known in a long time, that I can’t help to sparkle on the inside and out. 🥰 (at Ascender) https://www.instagram.com/p/BukUbSmhMti/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jv9fz10nhn4x
