The Beginning

For a while now people have been telling me to create a blog. Not only would it be helpful for my future career in journalism, they tell me, but it would also be interesting for people to read about the various adventures in my life. I put off creating one for quite a while, but have finally decided to take the leap and put my creativity to work.

The name for the blog came to me from a great professor who once described a character in a novel as a 'Civilized Savage.' Those two words really spoke to me as they seemed to perfectly describe me- My love of sophistication; fashion, food, and the finer things in life, as well as my love of nature; in particular the ocean, or a deserted beach buffeted by 'savage' waves.

As time progresses, I plan to cover events in New York as well as other places I may travel, unique hideaways and fun places to eat, drink and dance. Lastly and most importantly, expect to read within this blog about fashion; from hidden vintage stores to runway show comments and individual street fashion.

I welcome and invite you to step into my world of 'Civilized Chic and Sultry Savage.'
