I graduated from Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. As a student I had multiple retail jobs and a few weird and different jobs here and there. I worked as a sales rep at Abercrombie & Fitch, and Macy's. I also worked as a tax preparer at Liberty Tax and as a pharmacy technician at Albertsons. I always had a job ever since I turned 16. I like to work for my money and keep busy. I also like to learn new things, this is how you find out what you like and don't like. One thing that always remained constant from growing up was my fascination with clothes and how I looked.
I always wanted to wear the latest trends even in kindergarten! I would point out the shoes on girls from my classroom that I wanted my mom to buy me and always wanted new outfits for church and all of the holidays. I hated the fact that I had to wear uniforms to school in Puerto Rico because the only way to differentiate yourself was through your hair accessories, jewelry, shoes, and socks. I made sure I was wearing the latest though! One christmas I asked my parents for a toy register from Toys "R" Us. The register had a counter and a bar code scanner. I loved this thing! I would make my poor little brother be my pretend customer when my friends weren't around and he would get sick and tired of playing with me after 5 minutes! I then had to play by myself and talk to myself but I loved every bit of it!
Right out of college I didn't end up working in fashion or retail. I ended up working for Unum, an insurance company in NY city. It was a great job out of college! I loved my team and management team. I stayed with the company for about 3 1/2 years and had a new role every year. I started this fashion blog in 2012 while I was working at Unum because something inside of me felt like I needed to do something about what I really felt passionate about which was fashion! And come on…I was living in NY City! I would ask for media passes at events, sometimes get in however I could, it was fun! It kept me current with the trends and pushed me to do more research.
In December of 2012 I got engaged to the love of my life and college sweetheart and then moved to San Francisco, CA in May of 2013 due to his job placement. I then used the move to follow my passion and landed a Marketing Manager position at StylSavvy, a Fashion Tech startup. I learned a lot here! We were a team of 3 women on a mission to put the fashion shopping iPad app that the founder and CEO developed on the map. I was with StylSavvy for about 8 months when I then decided to launch my online fashion boutique! A dream come true and I couldn't have done it without the full support of my husband to be. Thank you Luis for believing in me and for being the rock in my life.
This pretty much sums up my story. As for LiveLoveModa, I designed my website, all of the logistics, and legalities. I have had many sleepless nights but it is all worth it! I thank the people that have allowed me to pick their brains for best practices and my experience with StylSavvy. At LiveLoveModa I go through thousands and thousands of products from multiple brands and distributors to only hand pick affordable, versatile, and on trend pieces that are timeless. Everything I choose to sell is a timeless piece that I would wear. Shipping is only a flat $5 and we ship to all US.
I hope that you like my pieces and please feel free to send me ideas and product recommendations. I made my website very user friendly specifically for this.
We are on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Follow us for special offers and cool pictures from all of the events we attend and how each piece is styled ;)
This is how I styled my whole collection! I am wearing everything in size small.
XoXo,
Keily

The only thing that I would recommend is that the sleeves are removable, so if you plan on wearing it, you may want to get it sewed on to avoid them from moving out of place.
ReplyDeleteThe web supports many different means. One particular merely has to be watchful inside job search engine, find jobs opportunities that they is actually interested in since there are several scams.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on creating your own website! It must have had produced a lot of sleepless nights, but seeing it off the ground must make you proud. Since you were involved in a tech start-up, you must have learned the ins and outs of having a strong online presence. Seeing that you have set up social networking accounts is evidence of this. The next step is getting more people to visit it. Good luck!
