   Just as many others in this world, I define myself as a true fashionista. I dedicate my time to discovering, exploring, and challenging all of the trends that the industry has to offer; as well as embracing my own personal style.  I am a big girl with big dreams and an even bigger drive.  However, being a size 14 in a business that says size 4 is too large can be challenging. As a college freshman, I am trying to find my path into the business and I am determined to do so. Fashion is my true love and I aspire to work in the field. My ultimate goal is to be an evening gown designer, yet runway production and styling are also in the running. Overall, this site is a glimpse into my life and my struggle to break into the industry. Just A Haute Mess is also a site that is dedicated to informing viewers on the most current trends and how to ultimately make them their own. As well as to inspire readers to give every aspect of their life a haute touch. xoxo
