Blog Writing
In the past I worked as a blog post writer for TheFashionSpot. TheFashionSpot is a big fashion community that has been around since 2003. When Atomic Media acquired the forums, they added an
editorial section. Now owned by TotallyHer Media LLC, I mainly contributed "Forum Buzz" articles and "Member Spotlight" interviews to TFS between July 2012 and September 2014. In the
"Forum Buzz" blog posts, I covered trending topics from within the community.
During Fashion Week months, I did some special coverage on the most promising new models and reported on the latest model street style trends.
