Meet Me

A photo of my Homestate, Colorado. The most beautiful place in the world. 

A photo of my second home, Boston Mass. This is one of my favorite photos ever. Taken in the fall in the Arnold Arboretum.


Who is Shelby Miles and why does she have a blog?


I feel it's only right to give a bit of information about myself before fully starting this blog. 
SO, hello! My name is Shelby Miles. I'm a young, twenty-something. I go to school at Boston University, I'm majoring in Advertising, and I am an up-and-coming Junior. There. Boring stuff. 


This summer (2011) I have been living in the grand, and the scary, New York City. I am working this summer as an advertising intern at W Magazine - A women's fashion magazine (if you haven't heard of W Magazine, you're probably not a true fashionista or are not interested in style. If this is the case you should stop reading my blog...NOW.) And also dabbling, part-time in my retail job at J. Crew. 


However, I have been inspired by many blogs, many diary-style blogs and this summer I finally decided to embark on a little blog-venture of my own. I want to share my life, my likes, my trials and my errors with whomever would like to follow. 


My blog is no more than a "lifestyle" blog. I am using this not only as a means for my personal documentation but also as a resource for stylish, twenty-something's looking to have fun, try new things, and find out a little bit about the places I have been. Frankly, I have things I would like to share with people, some girlie, some foodie and some "stylie." I may not be the most interesting person in the world, but I can have some fun trying.

So conclusively, this is The Style Seed, my blog. Just think of it as a seed of style -- WARNING: very corny metaphors coming your way. This special seed wants to bloom, grow and become something beautiful. This special seed is a girl. And so, my dear friends, my blog is here to help you grow, explore, become something beautiful and live happily. Because, in reality, aren't we all just little Style Seeds? I know I am.

Also, all photos on my blog are taken by me, Shelby Miles, unless otherwise noted. For example, if you see a picture of me, where I am not holding a camera, this probably is a picture that was not taken by me. I will give credit where credit is due. 

The most recent photo I have of myself. (taken by Tucker Bliss - Check him out on Vimeo!) Here I am all dolled up - too much makeup and a short dress. Pearls from J. Crew, dress from Urban Outfitters and Hair by hairspray and my very own hands.
