Hey everyone, and welcome to darkskinbeige. I used to have a blogspot years ago under the name Street Sophisticato (be warned: I started that blog over 10 years ago, and all of my outfits are very representative of the times). I focused primarily on my outfits and fashion since that was the most important thing to me at the time. I was in my early 20s, worked at American Apparel (in its heyday), studied fashion merchandising and wanted nothing more than to become a famous fashion blogger because that's what you did in the early 2010s before Instagram.
After moving to NYC, I had to put those dreams on the backburner, and I needed to find a more realistic career path that could sustain me in a very expensive New York City. My love of fashion and styling never went away, so I found myself working in luxury retail and as an e-commerce stylist throughout my 20s.
When my 30s came around (which was also during the global pandemic), I took some time to think about what I wanted to do in this next chapter. My love and interest in fashion transcended from outfits and styling, and I began to really fall in love with interior design, cooking and wellness. I ultimately wanted to create a lifestyle community that highlighted not only fashion, but everything that I was interested in. I've always had people ask me "what are you wearing", or "where's the best place to buy ...." or "how do you make ....", so my hope is that this site answers all of these questions and more. Stay tuned.
