I am Elana Brin Pruitt -- the self-proclaimed Good Girl Gone Shopping.
With a CSUF-bred journalism degree and a speech communications minor, a customer service-oriented retail background from Nordstrom, and a vintage mentality, I have always had the innate desire to reach out to the world through my writing and fashion.
From my college days at The Daily Titan, TUSK Magazine, and internship gigs at Hollywood Scriptwriter Magazine and Epic Records, my "adult" days are better than I could have ever imagined. How I spend my editorial energy:
- Plastic Surgery Studios: senior editor/ leading Internet marketing company
- Agenda Magazine: columnist ("Talking Chic") and staff writer/ women's fashion publication
- Closet Mouse: managing editor and designer interviewer/ fashion and social Internet community
- dotstv: contributing blogger/ celebrity, fashion, and beauty site (developed by founder of E!)
- Manhattanite: contributing fashion editor/ e-commerce couture shopping blog
- Alive Magazine: fashion editor/ entrepeneurial magazine for women of color
Since I created this blog a year ago, (which was originally launched as "Diary of a Personal Shopper"), I have helped women and men uncover their style through one-on-one attention, patience, and honesty. Based in the Inland Empire of Southern California -- the "I.E." -- I realize the need for my services, which also attracts those in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. With determination and sincerity, I help each client uncover the best fashion pieces to flatter his or her figure, while staying within or below that person's set budget.
This where my "Good Girl" comes in. It makes Me feel good to help YOU.
