Courtney Quinn of ColorMe Courtney is brining a bright fun
side to her colorful New York based blog.
Quinn began blogging
as a means of finding a creative outlet.
While studying business in college she knew she wanted to be
involved in the fashion world. So, creating a fashion blog was her way of
demonstrating her understanding of the industry.
Now, Color Me
Courtney has become her fulltime job. You can learn more about her journey
through her about me page on Color Me Courtney.
“It’s kind of ironic that what I started to fill my spare
time and use as a tool to help me get a job has become my career!” she said.
Color Me Courtney
is a fashion blog based on building
body confidence. Through her blog she
hopes her readers build their body confidence and embrace their own personal
style.
Quinn’s blog features
her bright, crazy, and colorful style. Through trial and error Quinn creates
amazing looks with bold colors and mixing prints.
To gain inspiration Quinn looks to Pinterest, movies, art,
museums, movies, and even candy.
Most bloggers in New York sport the typical dark and
monochromatic looks. But, Quinn mixes things up with her colorful style.
Quinn runs both her blog
and is venturing out into a Youtube
channel.
“I want my Youtube
channel to be a new space for me to interact with people who maybe don’t read
blogs because they live videos!” Quinn said.
Many bloggers are expanding to create more content through
video outlets like Youtube and even
Snapchat. With a rise in video content bloggers
like Quinn are keeping with these ever changing trends.
As a full time blogger
Quinn has had amazing opportunities in the fashion industry. This past month
Quinn was invited to attend shows at New
York Fashion Week.
This year Quinn decided to go to shows that she was really
excited about. She used these opportunities to connect with fellow bloggers and celebrate the brands and
what they’ve created.
More and more designers are inviting fashion bloggers to
their runway shows. With the rise of blogger influence the industry is reacting
by making them a key to their New York
Fashion Week crowd.
Quinn’s favorite part of Fashion Week is getting all dressed up and seeing the new trends
and collections. Also, she loves connecting with people that she hasn’t met in
person.
“So much of my job happens behind a
computer, so it’s really refreshing to take things offline!” she said.
A special shout out to Courtney for answering my questions! Her blog is one of my absolute favorites so be sure to check her out!!
XOXO
