About Katerina

Hi! my name is Katerina and I'm a fashion blogger in Los Angeles California & I also work full time as a cardiac registered nurse. I grew up in Virginia and recently moved LA in December 2016. Some may call it a quarter life crisis, but it's what I needed at the time. One interesting thing about me is that I'm not your typical fashion blogger. I'm 4'11" and I started this blog to help other girls & women of a similar size find style inspiration and confidence in their clothes Since I've been an atypical body type most of my life, I have a very creative sense of style that many people find inspiring. I hope to inspire you too. With love from the Pacific, Katerina
