Hello, my name is Christina Edwards.

I’m a Sacramento native that just couldn’t quite escape this city. For college I attended Chico State University, but after graduation I headed right back. Though I resented living here as a teen, I’ve grown to love the place I call home. It helped that I had someone pretty special here waiting for me.

Speaking of that special someone… we’ve now been together for almost 10+ years, own a beautiful home, have the most awesome and energetic Golden Retriever, and I’m waiting on that ring any day now… so I’d say things are going pretty well for us high school sweethearts.

Nowadays I’m working in the Homebuilder Services Division of a Title and Escrow company, as an Account Executive, servicing the Greater Sacramento and Central Valley areas. I love what I do, being on the go, and being able to dress up for my professional 9-5 lifestyle.

Life isn’t all about dressing for the part though - I’ve found that when I style and dress in outfits or clothes that make me feel HAPPY, I’m able to conquer the world. Dressing well makes you feel confident inside and out. It’s not always easy meshing the two but I refuse to compromise. To help with that I created this blog, Styled to Smile.

Styled to Smile is a beauty and fashion blog that provides a safe space for women to connect over personal style, fashion inspiration, passionate expression, and creativity. A place where devotion to creating your best self and indulgence in Fashion that Fills You is encouraged.

What do I mean by ‘Fashion that Fills You’?

… Ever heard the phrase “Do things that fill your soul?” Or someone express that their heart or soul “feels full”? That’s the concept. If shopping, touching luxurious fabrics, picking out the best and worst of red carpet fashions, trying on fancy dresses, etc. etc… makes you feel HAPPY - then do it. Do more of it. Indulge yourself in it and don’t feel ashamed. When you look good you feel good - so dress in a way that makes you feel HAPPY and use that confidence to take on the world.

I hope this blog inspires you to embrace fashion in a way you might not have before. I hope this blog inspires you to play with ideas and styles and try to new things. Above all, I hope this blog inspires you to wear things that make you feel happy so you can bring out your inner best. I hope that when you get dressed in the morning, the only question you ask yourself is, “What can I wear that will make sure I’m Styled to Smile today?”

I’m happy to have you here, friend.
