Welcome to my new blog, Styled Muse!

Styled Muse is a fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog for young women where they can find affordable fashion and keep up to date on the latest trends.

The Styled Muse girl is in college or a recent college grad, making the transition into the real world. She loves fashion but is on a budget.

Here on Styled Muse, I will be posting some of my favorite outfits, reviews of certain products, a few DIY projects and beauty techniques. I will also be having giveaways every now and then, so make sure you are following me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. You can also subscribe to Styled Muse by entering your e-mail address in the column on the right hand side. >>>>
