A peek into the history of how Fashionably Izzy came to be. It hasn't always been easy but, it has always been worth it.
Learn moreWelcome to my little corner of the internet, Fashionably Izzy...
I first launched my blog in 2017 and it was originally called The Chic Babe Blog. I had no idea what I was doing but I knew that I had a love for putting outfits together and making people smile through humor and creativity!
I went to school for Social Work and Psychology and although I enjoyed the work I did back then, I also felt like I couldn’t be as creative as I wanted to be.
The Chic Babe Blog quickly became the creative outlet I needed when I came home drained from a long day at work.
During the hobby stage of my blog, I started to notice that other bloggers and content creators around me were turning their hobbies into full time ventures. Yet, when I seeked education and tips on this, I came up short. I remember being incredibly frustrated and feeling like it wasn’t going to happen for me.
I had a dab of marketing experience under my belt from some freelancing I had done in college and so I sat down and started to make a game plan.
I rebranded The Chic Babe Blog into Fashionably Izzy, I acquired a business email address, I started batching content and started to pitch myself to over 50 brands a DAY!
At first I received a lot of no’s but I knew that NO just meant Next Opportunity so I kept going. Fast forward to today... I have had over 300 paid collaborations, I’m on retainer with several companies, I surpassed my previous income and I get to do what I love and call it my job! The best part is that YOU can too!
So grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair and let’s get to work baby! I am truly so grateful that you are here and willing to share your dreams with me.
