Getting To Know Me

Hey y'all! Not sure how many people will be reading this considering I just started my blog today, but I feel like I should introduce myself. My name is Claire Austin Hooks. I go by Claire Austin (it's a double name, like Mary Elizabeth). I'm thankful for my mother's obsession with finding the most original, southern name for her baby girl, because I love my double name. I'm 18 years old and I'm an upcoming freshman at North Carolina State University majoring in industrial engineering. Go Pack! I've lived in the Raleigh area, NC my whole life. Blonde hair, blue eyes, complete shopaholic and fashionista. I have an out of control obsession with monograms - I monogram EVERYTHING. I created this blog because I hope to inspire other girls to be more fabulous, much as other blogs have done for me. I plan on posting about clothes, shoes, hair, make-up, accessories, books, TV shows/movies, DIY/crafts, health and fitness, college life, greek life/sororities, current events (real news and E!-type news), southern lifestyle, preppy lifestyle, and anything else girly that I can think of! No matter how many people follow my site, I will continue posting because I love gathering all my thoughts and putting them out there for someone to read. It makes me feel witty and confident. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I promise I will have fabulous posts in the very near future (I'm aiming for one a day). Hope you all have a wonderful day! xoxo, CA
