Hi, my name is Jarelis Marie, founder of AwkwardlyVain.com. I had the idea of creating a safe space for myself in 2017 when everything was so overwhelming, and changes were fast approaching; I was graduating from University with a degree in Fashion Design and minors in textile design and fashion journalism and no signs of a job in the fashion industry. That is when the idea of creating fashion content resurfaced.

Although that was the initial vision, AV became more than just a fashion blog.

Awkwardly Vain is now an open space that allows me to express myself, from thoughts on mental health, everyday scenarios, food, music, and -obviously- fashion topics, among other content written by the friends of Awkwardly Vain (A.K.A. The AV Team).

Read. Enjoy. Like. Comment. Share. Repeat.

Lots of Love,
Jarelis Marie G.
