Mira Costa senior Sophie Greenhouse turns her love for fashion, coffee, and the latest trends into a blog called “Sophie In The City.”
Her blog gives an insight on her personal experiences while also giving people tips and recommendations to use for themselves. Greenhouse started “Sophie In The City” in November of 2017 as a stress reliever during finals. She began to have a lot of fun with it, so she continued to post, Greenhouse said. She now works with different companies as a way to advertise their products, while also keeping it personal and care-free.
“I began to have a lot of fun with it, so I continued to post,” Greenhouse said. “I love the blog and want to share the discoveries I’ve made through working with different brands.”
“Sophie In The City” consists of four pages: Lifestyle, Beauty, Coffee, and Fashion. These pages include pictures and captions explaining each post. She will post on the blog at least once a week while also posting on her Instagram story five days a week in order to keep it relevant and active, Greenhouse said.
“My blog is meant for anyone who is interested in reading it,” Greenhouse said. “I like to post tips on Tuesday and my favorites of the week on Friday. This keeps people interested and updated.”
The “Lifestyle” section of the blog talks about her personal experiences to use in the reader’s own life. This includes what she carries in her purse on an everyday basis to fun gifts for your friends.
“Sophie’s blog is so original because she keeps it very personal,” blog follower sophomore Cami Taub said. “The blog is also really relevant to girls our age.”
The “Beauty” section of the blog gives readers her most recommended brushes, glosses, and tools, while giving a reason behind her choices. The “Coffee” section is home to caffeine lovers. It lists all her favorite coffee shops and what she recommends to order, Greenhouse said.
“Personally, my favorite section of the blog is Coffee,” Taub said. “I am obsessed with coffee and all of her recommendations are amazing.”
The last section of the blog is “Fashion.” This section talks about the latest trends in the fashion industry and where to buy the perfect outfit. She provides pictures of products with a detailed explanation of why it is worth buying.
“I love Sophie’s blog because it has so many tips for everyday things,” Taub said. “I like to look at it when I need to find a new place to buy jeans. She always knows where to go to find the perfect pair.”
Although Greenhouse is uncertain about the future of her blog, she hopes to continue it as a hobby. The blog “Sophie In The City” can be found on Instagram @sophieinthecity. You can follow her account to get daily updates on the new trends and beauty tips.
“I enjoy posting and have had fun with it but never expected it to take off the way it has,” Greenhouse said. “The future is as much of a surprise for me as it is for everyone else… so I guess you will have to follow along!”
