I’ve been thinking about creative first posts for the past month, and it’s not nearly as easy as I thought it would be.  It’s like one of those get to know you situations during college orientation or the first day of a new job- I know my name, I know my hometown, I know the requisite “interesting” facts about me, but somehow when it’s my turn to introduce myself, it’s like I’m being asked to recite the Preamble to the Constitution (is it by the People or of the People or for the People?), and I get oh so nervous.

So here’s what I came up with to introduce myself to you all:

Good opening line, right?  I thought about an exclamation point, but wasn’t sure if it made me seem overly excited, so I put a period, then I thought that made me look cold, so now I’m just leaving it unpunctuated.  I’m hoping that will make you all think I’m super fun and really nice, albeit slightly socially awkward.

Here are the facts: My name is Erin, and I’m the Communications/PR/Social Media/Whatever else is on the plate for the day person for the Julie Lopez shoe collection.  Most importantly, I get to work for the most amazing woman I know: my mom.

And as the dynamic mother-daughter duo that we are, we’ve been stylin’ and profilin’ for quite some time:
