Alright, move aside Obama! Attention, billions of celebrities who are attending the Inauguration! Because today, ladies and gents, marks my very first post on my very first blog!

Okay, obviously, I'm kidding.

But, folks, I am seriously excited about this. For the past couple of years, I've had a growing number of friends who have gone digital and have sung the praises of their own blogs. I, listening but not too closely, to their sing-song voices in my ear, smiled and was excited for them. But a blog for me? Never.

That all changed last week when I accompanied a friend to this incredible digital workshop that had not one, not two, but four panelists (one is the former ed-in-chief of Black Enterprise and is now over all of their online content) who made this wonderful web-centric world sound fascinating to a print dinosaur like me.

So, I have finally taken the plunge and checked this stuff out. Rah rah rah!

Now, let's get to the fun stuff.

Since this is my first blog, I'd like to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about what you can expect from this blog.

1. I'm Eliza, and don't let the picture fool you. I promise, I'm not snooty or stuck- up, but I just happen to really like the flower on the vest that I'm wearing in the photo. :)

2. This blog is going to incorporate a lot of elements. I loooove fashion, so there will be plenty of that. I also enjoy art, books, and science, so that will be there as well. BUT, most importantly, I live in one of the best cities in the world (NYC), so that will be the lustrous thread that weaves all of these elements together.

3. Expect the unexpected. This blog is about fun, inspiration, and a place to express myself. Since I don't totally know what to expect from myself in the near future, the above is subject to change.

Okay, that about sums it up. Hope you enjoy, and never hesitate to let me know what you think!!!!
