Who was the first person that I met in person for an interview for Ms. Charm’s Chic? It was indeed, Emily Li Mandri, creator of Natty Paint, at Common Ground in Hampden. At the time, I had no car and it was pounds of snow on the ground. I walked many blocks to get an exclusive interview with one of Baltimore’s up and coming fashion designers. I will never ever forget that moment.
I was excited that a student was interested in what I was doing and wanted to learn more. I thought the blog was fun and professional at the same time.
I’ve moved to NYC, received my MBA from NYU Stern, and after receiving wholesale clothing orders from Urban Outfitters and working at other companies like Virgin Mobile, I’ve launched my own ecommerce/marketing consulting company called MLE Consulting which focuses on the fashion/retail industry. Here’s the link www.consultmle.com.
I relaunch my clothing line under the Natty Paint umbrella. The aesthetic is older, sleeker, and aimed at the young urban professional that loves statement pieces. I’m also building out my consulting company MLE Consulting.
Yes, because you’re passionate about what you do and you are recognized for it! You shouldn’t stop doing something that makes you happy and gets you recognition. I like that you showcase up and coming events and individuals in Baltimore. Those voices need to be heard!

Yesterday, The Creative Alliance, Bonneau Caprece LLC (Caprece Jackson-Garrett) and Foxxfara Studio (Elisa J Wells) debuted the first ever Fashion & Film Series!
The event included viewing of the iconic fashionista classic “Breakfast at Tiffany’s and a live showcase of 10 local designer interpreting LBD style.
I was beyond honored when Caprece and Elisa asked me to come on board to promote as well as judge this classy, sassy presentation of Baltimore fashion talent. My night began with helping out to set-up the entrance and doing my best to sell as much raffle tickets as possible for the transportation fund for Baltimore Design School.
After that, I grabbed a seat next to Elisa and watched as 10 amazing designer/stylists showcase versatile versions of the Little Black Dress.
I loved it all! Be sure to look at the gallery below:
When I started my journey in fashion blogging, I wanted to make sure I covered every person that makes fashion, well fashion. Of course, the fashion designer always needs a good fashion photographer to document their designs.
The first photographer I ever interviewed was Sean Scheidt, who I discovered after Julie Bent, a local designer, recommended I interview him.
I am not sure I had any definite impression other than you seemed to be hard working and driven. Its often hard to access people from email. I’ve been impressed with how quickly your blog took off.
A look happens in 5 years both personally and professionally. Since then the amount of large commercial shoots have increased and I travel across the world more than ever. The biggest evolution is def personal with technical ability following shortly behind.
I am still working hard on my Burlesque series, which will eventually be a traveling series around the country. I teach part-time at Towson University (studio lighting). But other than that I will keep working on commercial and personal projects.
I had no doubt it would last as long as you wanted it to!
ETSY is one the best resources for finding undiscovered and unique fashion talent. It was in Summer 2010 when I discovered WHICHGOOSE. I sent Emily Zych (Emily Suidikas) an email immediately after visiting her Etsy shop and becoming obsessed with her nature inspired accessories.
I thought you doing really amazing for your age! When I was in college, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I was really impressed with the commitment you had, your degree of local coverage, and professionalism.
