Designer Spotlight- Veronica Beard

Good morning everyone!!

One of the segments I want to start with "Good Morning, Autumn" is Designer Spotlight. I, one day, hope to become a fashion designer and I know that in order to become successful I need to grow a fan base. So with the Designer Spotlight I will be highlighting different designers that you may not be familiar with or designers that I admire.

This week's spotlight goes to sister act designers of Veronica Beard.

Before starting the brand in 2009, Veronica Swanson Beard worked in fashion, while Veronica Miele Beard worked in fiance. The two decided to join forces and culminate their ideas to create the urban-chic brand, Veronica Beard. In the beginning, the two only had their (now famous) jacket with the removable dickeys to present to stores and markets in 2009. However, those simple ideas slowly turned into a marketable brand for stores to have. 

I did not know about Veronica Beard before this year. And thanks to CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund I discovered one of my new favorite designing women. They were chosen out of hundreds of designers for the ten finalists for the fund. Even though they did not win they gained much needed exposure and mentors that they would have not gotten if they had skipped the fund. 

Below I have chosen some of my favorite pieces from their website.

I hope you enjoyed this segment because I have many more designers that I would like to feature. Please leave a comment below if you have a designer that I should research or if you are a designer and would like me to check out what you do please leave your information in the comments.

Thank you for reading and I hope you have an awesome day.

Good Morning and Good Bye,

Autumn 

Good Morning!!!!

Good morning readers, 

How are you doing? Are you having a good morning? 

I know I am because I am finally pulling through and committing to writing this blog. I have been trying to blog for 2 or 3 years now and it has not ended well. 

I guess before we get into the full swing I should tell you about myself. 

1. My name is Autumn and I am almost 20 years old (My birthday is in 9 days!!)
2.  I am currently a junior at LSUS in Louisiana majoring in Marketing with a concentration in Ad Design (just switched my major like a month ago, so we will see how this goes).
3.  I live with my family and I am freaking proud of it!!
4. I love fashion and every aspect of it, you may see some outfit of the days, fashion show reviews and clothing hauls on here. 
5. I am plus size and I am trying to find a way to love my self. (I am getting close, don't worry.) 
6. I want to work in the fashion industry in some way; designing, merchandising, marketing/advertising- whatever will get me to the fashion world. 
7. I love baking, so you will be seeing many recipes and such on  here. Be prepared. 
8. I love books, music, movies, T.V. shows, magazines, Pinterest, Tumblr- I love everything!! So there is going to be a mixture of all of those things on the blog too. 

I know this may seem like another blogging mess but I have a very good feeling about this blog. I hope you guys enjoy what I have to bring. There will be another post very soon. 

Have a good day!!- Autumn
