About Me
I am just a SoCal girl with a serious love of fashion! After years of giving my friends fashion advice and helping them shop, I decided to turn my passion into a business.
Launched in 2019, StyleDahlia is a fashion and lifestyle blog for modern mid-life. My style is casual, comfortable and relatable with a hint of edge. I enjoy combining current trends with classic pieces to keep my wardrobe fresh. Chances are I will find a way to add my favorite sneakers to any outfit.
I am a mom of two fabulous kids, both in high school. As a family we take advantage of all California has to offer from the mountains to the seas. We love new adventures and exploring our broader world. As I spiral toward an empty nest, I don’t take for granted any of these precious moments.
Mid-life is truly a new beginning. My age has allowed me to take more risks, speak my truth and follow my dreams. StyleDahlia is a celebration of a life in full bloom.
