Hello fellow Bloggers!! My name is Sarah Quinn and I attend Franklin Regional High School. I am 17 years old. I am currently a senior and plan on attending either the University of Louisville or Pitt. There’s not too much about my life. If I’m not at Cheerleading, I’m with my girlies. I like to shop a lot and I also have a slight obsession with cats, pickles, and the movie Pitch Perfect. When I go shopping I like to know what’s in and what’s out, so that’s what I chose to write about. Not only just dealing with shopping though.. Anything in general that people should know about fashion. I’m here to help y’all out.
