Elizabeth's Profile

Although I've been in Nashville for over 20 years, Memphis is my hometown and I am the oldest of six children. We learned to be creative and resourceful at a young age since money was a little tight. I was the designer and seamstress for all my prom dresses; my favorite being the silver lame' with a matching jacket! Since I attended Catholic schools for 12 years of my life, uniforms were part of the equation; I'm here to tell you saddle oxfords and a plaid skirt can put a damper on the fashionista in you. I have always loved the thrill of the hunt especially for bargains, and writing StyleBlueprint has given me purpose as I sleuth around town. The most fun part for me is hearing when all of you stop by a store we have written about. I find myself secretly saying, " oh, there are people reading...yipee!!". Most of my career was spent in marketing and broadcasting sales. My favorite quote from that experience is " if you can't go over, go under." It really applies to our blog when we try to break a story first or get an interview. I LOVE to dress my 3 daughters and my husband even though they resist my well- intentioned efforts. Thanks for reading StyleBlueprint. Let us know what interests you. I LOVE to hear your comments.
