Heidi's Profile
Raised in Houston, I have called Louisville home for the last 14 years. So when you see certain phrases in my broken Spanish, or maybe a preference for hot sauce and big hair, you will know where these things are coming from. In my former life, I worked in television news and then in development and marketing for the Speed Art Museum. I have stayed at home for the last ten years raising my three children. I reconnected with Liza Graves, co-founder of StyleBlueprint and sorority sister at Vanderbilt, through Facebook (see it is good for something). I started reading her blog and talking about it with my girlfriends. Who knew I would be working there within one year of that happening?
The way I see it, the criteria for writing for a style blog are as follows. Likes to write, check. Likes taking pictures, um, half check. Likes clothes, beauty, fashion and shopping, check. Likes meeting people and getting out the community, check. Likes food, check. Likes decor (if I don’t have to do it myself), check. Likes discovering and promoting local treasures in Louisville, check. Is very curious by nature, triple check.
Though I like writing about all of these wonderful, stylish things, you will most often see me in my true authentic disguise, which is my exercise clothes (without having exercised) or in my car transporting someone to some activity. My closet is overflowing with clothes and I can never find anything to wear. My billboard is littered with recipes I know I’ll never get around to trying. And I have an entire drawer devoted to fabric samples for furniture that I’ll probably never recover. But a girl can dream, right?!? So what I’m saying is, I’m just like you, but writing for StyleBlueprint let’s me live vicariously through people who are actually making style happen. Most importantly, it is providing me, and I hope you, with inspiration to discover our personal style and to discover all that Louisville has to offer.
