Liza Graves's Profile

I'm the girl who continually wishes to be a vegan, seasonal eater and practice yoga daily. Sadly, I eat meat and winter tomatoes and then climb on my elliptical machine to watch TV, and sometimes, just sometimes, read about being a vegan or seasonal eater with the TV off on that same elliptical machine.....
Raised in Virginia by an entrepreneurial family, I opened my own café in Nashville at the age of 25 and then married an entrepreneur who was raised in an entrepreneurial family. This start-up loving spirit also gives me a different perspective on life: I love to support locally owned businesses and I care deeply about customer service. I’m well aware of foregoing a paycheck here and there in order to meet payroll. I sold my café after three and one-half years and am happy to say that it is still thriving with its third owner in downtown Nashville. I opened a trunk show/wardrobe consulting business in the Fall of 2007 selling the Etcetera Brand clothing. Out of 800+ agencies, I quickly became a top 25 agency in the country. I recently handed over my business and am concentrating on StyleBlueprint full time- when I’m not keeping up with my three kids, all under the age of 12! I love Nashville and am determined to seek out all the stylish things it has to offer. When I see something done well, I want to scream about it from a rooftop. StyleBlueprint is my rooftop and I hope you enjoy our posts.
