October's Featured Blogger #1: Flan Remix

October's first featured blog is Flan Remix-- a collaborative blog between four friends with a passion for food and style. I've never read a collaborative blog before, and Flan Remix is definitely a unique one! :) Please welcome Roe, one of the four lovely ladies that blogs on Flan Remix!

First off, thank you, Megan, for featuring me and my collaborative blog this month! I'm an avid follower and love your classic fresh style! :D

I'm 28 and counting from the San Francisco Bay Area. I discovered fashion and personal style really late in life. I attended private school from K-12th grade, where the only personal style came from what color barrettes and scrunchies we wore. I attended UC Davis for college, and lived in jeans, t-shirts, pj's, flip flops, and the occasional summer dress.

You would think my personal style started after that. Nope. I proceeded to move on to the corporate world with a strict dress code for business suits and collared shirts. Coming fresh from jeans and tees, I had no idea how to style for the corporate world.

Two years ago I discovered fashion blogs, and started experimenting more with different styles. I pulled inspiration from bloggers all over, like Megan, and slowly found a style I would like.

My girls and I are bonded by the love of food, we later also realized we were bonded by our love for fashion. The four of us are from different walks of life, we live in different cities, hold different jobs in various fields of work, and have different interests. This is essentially how FLAN Remix was born: 4 girls, 1 item of clothing, 1 ingredient, 4 ways. Each month we feature a different article of clothing and an ingredient, and we put our own personal spin on it.

I'm still developing and finding my style to this day, but have more direction with what I like and what works for me. I'm refining my culinary skills and trying to create my own recipes instead of following them. I'm happy that I get to go on this journey with my girls, and hope that you all may join us, too!

Visit us at Flan Remix for some inspiration or give much welcomed advice.
