For as long as I can remember, I’ve gotten texts that have started with “Where you did you get…”, “What did you do to…” or “Where did you go for…” So, here we are.
Hey, I’m Maria..
..and I love to tell people I’m from Cleveland, that I’m finally 21, and that I’m a current Senior at Kent State University majoring in Fashion Merchandising, with minors in Marketing and Public Relations. Anyone close to me would describe me as an online shopping addict, who is always talking. Or someone who always up for a Chick-Fil-A run, plays Taylor Swift songs way too loud, would have breakfast or dessert for every meal, and is ready for a glass of champagne at any given moment.
Over the past few years, I have loved sharing where to shop, what to wear, as well as any and all of my stories & tips from studying abroad. My family and friends have been telling me I should start a blog, for quite some time now, so I thought, why not! My hope is that Living: Maria Rose can become lively & fun place to share a little bit of me, with all of you.
Behind the name: My Nana, who I am named after, always has referred to me as “her Maria Rose” and has always pushed me to go after what I want, no matter what. I remember playing dress up when I was younger at her house every Monday, by the age of 7, I knew fashion would be a part of my life. Then, before I studied abroad, I remember telling her I was so scared that I didn’t think I could do it. She sat me down, told me I could handle way more and do way more than I ever thought I could. So, thank you to my Nana Rosie for always believing in me, and giving me a name to live up to.
