Hi everyone! My name is Christina, but feel free to call me CC.
I discovered my love for fashion later in life, after spending many years as a wallflower, trying to blend in. It was during my first post-college internship in San Francisco when I realized that my fashion choices made a huge impact in my self-confidence. After giving my closet a makeover, I found myself becoming comfortable in my own skin, taking more chances, as well as setting my career as a graphic designer in motion.
Closet Luxe launched in 2013 with the hopes that my style tips and personal stories would inspire like-minded wallflowers and petite women, and help unlock a self-confidence that was already within them. In my heyday, I was lucky enough to work with local designers and amazing companies both large and small, including Timbuk2, Old Navy, LE TOTE and more. I also received the honor of being featured as one of Refinery 29’s San Francisco bloggers to follow, as well as being featured as one of Fashionista’s 2015 Best Street Style from Day 1 of NYFW. My biggest blogging accomplishment came in 2017, when I became a Brand Ambassador for Banana Republic.
Fast forward to 2021, and I am now a Digital Design Lead living in the Los Angeles area. While I no longer write about fashion, I’ve found a renewed sense of inspiration through traveling. Immersing myself in different cultures, seeing new sights, and eating my way through different cities and cuisines have opened my eyes to many new avenues of personal growth.
I can’t wait to share this next chapter with you!
XO, Christina
