MY HONEST REFORMATION REVIEW AFTER 5 YEARS OF SHOPPING THERE
I’ve been shopping at Reformation for the past 5 years, and in this video I’m finally sharing my honest thoughts on the brand - from the dreamy dresses that made me fall in love to the not-so-great moments I’ve experienced along the way. Reformation is known for their sustainable approach to fashion and effortlessly chic style (especially when it comes to wedding guest looks and summer staples). But with rising prices and a customer service issue I experienced last year, I wanted to give you the real story.

SEEING GRACIE ABRAMS IN LOS ANGELES
Join me in LA for an unforgettable week! I went to see Gracie Abrams on her The Secret of Us Deluxe Tour at the Kia Forum (Night 1) and she was absolutely incredible live. It was my first time attending one of her concerts and I'm already planning on going to her next tour, whenever that is! Gracie shared how special it was to perform at this iconic venue after growing up seeing her favorite artists there -- truly a full-circle moment.

My love for fashion started at a young age while watching What Not To Wear on TLC with my mom. I became so captivated by the makeovers that Stacy London and Clinton Kelly gave these men and women who were on the show. It amazed me how a new wardrobe and a hair/makeup refresh could completely transform someone and give them a confident, new outlook on life. It made me realize that style and the clothes we wear speak volumes without you having to say anything at all. Movies and TV shows continued to inspire my love of fashion, like The Devil Wears Prada, The Parent Trap, and The Hills.
I knew that I wanted a career in the fashion industry and after I graduated from high school, I moved to downtown LA to attend the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. It was such an incredible experience that I’m so grateful for! Just 3 years after graduating I launched my blog, Blushful Belle, as an outlet for my creative musings that combined my passions of fashion, writing, and photography. My thesis statement for my portfolio of work that I created while at FIDM almost a decade ago still rings true to my vision and inspiration for my blog: Imagine, Create, Inspire. My goal is to dream up and create content that will inspire you in your daily life.
