Fly is undergoing some changes and updates with new features and content but the one thing that won't be included in those updates is the Fly Girl of the Week feature. So to honor one of my favorite features that made Fly what it is today I'd like to share some fabulous final Fly Girls of the Week :). Enjoy!
Who? Cortnie Elizabeth, 28
Where? In Maryland.
What do you do? I run a style blog, StyleLust Pages, and design handbags for a living. I wouldn't mind getting into buying or merchandising a bit, either.
What inspires you? Everything! Fashion magazines, movies, vintage, but recently I've been really inspired by current trends for summer. I definitely try to incorporate them when designing my clutches.
Why are you fly? I'm fly because I had the courage to tackle something I had been dreaming about doing. Learning to sew and having my grandmother teach me was something I've always wanted to do. I took what she taught me and used it to make something unique that everyone can enjoy.
Advice: You won't know until you try! I learned how to sew and within a week was selling my handmade clutches on Etsy. I started off with about 4 bags and I'm now selling a little over 30 and it's constantly growing. My bags are being sold in boutiques and online websites, which I would have never anticipated. You would hate to wake up one day and regret that you never attempted to do something you enjoyed or even dreamed of doing. Life is about chances. Take a chance!
