Meet the wonderful Ellie, art-major, member of The Unnamed Artists, baby-doll head collector, pop culture-music-history guru and a great friend of mine. Ellie helps out at the Velour live music gallery so it was the perfect location for her feature. Ellie would define her style as Vintage-inspired and draws great influence from the glorious 50s. She says it's difficult as a curvy woman to dress in 'actual' vintage clothing so she gets creative to incorporate the look she loves. She's a very bold and expressive person and that shows in what she chooses to wear from graphic tees to bold prints and bright colors. She says her style in clothing also reflects what she creates in her artwork; bold, graphic and colorful.

She grew up loving to shop along side her Mom, found that she loved clothes but clothes didn't always love her back. As she grew up she discovered her own sense of style and comfort level letting the outside match the inside. Working at Velour has really helped her with confidence and choosing edgier clothing and taking more "fashion risks." In turn it has really helped boost her self confidence.
