The Hoosierista: Here Goes Nothing...

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m commonly referred to as Em or by my last name. With so many Emilys running around in the world, you have to have a way to distinguish them from one another.

I love any shade of yellow, cobalt blue and all things sparkly and leopard—yes, glitter and leopard are colors. I love winter, country and pop music, fall colors, pumpkin spice anything, Taco Bell, dogs, running, weather that is sunny and 75, wings and any food that is definitely not good for you. I have an insane love for Pinterest, Instagram and all forms of social media. (Feel free to follow me on anything!) I have a lot of pride in calling myself a Hoosier, as I am currently a junior at Indiana University in Bloomington. I’m studying biology and you’re probably thinking that I am pre-med or something like that, but think again. After school I want to pursue law and see wherever that takes me whether it be New York, Chicago, North Carolina, DC; I could be anywhere!

Which leads to the question: Why start blogging?

Well for one: I am a huge media follower, whether it be celeb news, fashion blogs or current events I check the sites religiously and make sure I am up to date.

And another reason: I have been wanting to start one of these for a while now but, either I just didn’t have the motivation or didn’t know what to write. So with life starting to take a crazy turn and with all the fashion blogs I’ve been reading I’m finally ready to make this my outlet, a picture into my style and beauty habits and just a creative way to give you all an insight on what I do from day to day

So as you can see I have mixed reasons to start this blog. Not just as a creative, journalistic outlet of family and friends, but also to share tips and tricks I acquire when it comes to fashion and beauty or to see what new things I’m watching out for or wearing. So bottom line: It’s going to be a mix of things you’ll see.

I guess I’ll share a few of the people that make up the recipe of my life:

My Family:

I have one older sister, Stephanie and two loving parents: Greg and Michele. They’re the people I turn to when life becomes a little too much to handle or need advice. I’m also the baby of the family which is pretty awesome to have three people that are older and wiser than you watching out for you.

My friends:

I have multiple groups of friends that I feel need distinguishing because they are all a significant part of my life in one way or another.

Let’s start with my friends from my hometown:

Julia, Kirsten, Courtney, Jasmine and Sumer are the ladies I have known for years and they have never gone away. They are always there for me and even if we go months without seeing each other, it’s like nothing has changed when I see them

Fab Five:

The ‘Fab Five” is a group of my friends that are basically my SATC (sex and the city) ladies: Gretchen, Natalie, Hannah, Emily. These girls are here through thick and thin and the ones I can count on for anything

Maddi and Justine:

These are two of my freshman year friends that I met in the dorm. Although we are in different chapters here at IU, I still seem them at least 3-4 times a week. Maddi was my roommate freshman year and Justine is her best friend from home. It’s a forever kind of friendship

Kappa Delta:

At IU, I am in the sorority Kappa Delta. These girls have changed my life and shaped me into the person I am today. Without them I would not know what to do with my life. They mean the world to me.

Also this is my beautiful little, Penny;
