Emma here, and welcome to my lifestyle blog where I talk all things fashion, beauty, health, and decor. I am 24 years old and live in Chicago with my two loves: my boyfriend, Joey, and Goldendoodle, Winston. My hobbies include crafting fancy cocktails, shopping at Home Goods, and playing any type of card or board game.
I graduated from Iowa State University where I studied journalism and apparel, merchandising, and design. Fashion has always been my creative escape, so I knew I wanted to do something with it in college. I was a part of ISU’s fashion magazine, Trend, and interned for two of the most iconic fashion and lifestyle magazines ever, Redbook and Good Housekeeping. In the middle of my college career, I decided it was finally time I launch my own fashion and lifestyle blog called Sugar Spice & Style.
After four years of publishing content on Sugar Spice & Style, I made the difficult decision to close its doors and begin a new blog.
So, what made me want to start over and create a new website from scratch?
First off, I wish someone talked me out of the name “Sugar Spice & Style.” Second, I’ve grown in so many ways and my lifestyle is completely different than what it was four years ago. While it’s fun to look back and read my old posts, I want to start fresh and publish content that I’m genuinely excited about.
So without further ado, welcome to emmahassemer.com.
My goal with this lifestyle blog is to inspire others with my take on fashion, beauty, food, and design topics. If you love styling guides, makeup tutorials, delicious food recipes, and DIY home projects, then I think you’ll love it here.
