Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Style for the Soul! A personal blog that focuses on fashion and lifestyle. My name is Ileana Carlos, I am the creator of Style for the Soul and am so excited to officially start my journey.

To tell you a bit about myself, I moved to San Diego after growing up in Northern California in hopes of becoming a marine biologist. It wasn’t until a trip to New York City my junior year of college when I realized fashion is truly what I should be doing and decided to change my field of study to Media. I am now graduated from CSU San Marcos with a BA in Media Studies and am currently working to achieve a certificate in Fashion Media.

Growing up, I was obsessed with fashion. I was always drawing new outfits, playing “fashion show” with my cousin and turning barbies into my models. The fashion industry was always a field I wanted to work in but never had the courage to pursue it.

Something I have learned throughout this journey is to follow what makes you happy despite all the negative comments anybody says. I decided to listen to myself and follow my passion, and I’ve never been happier! Since then my love for styling and creativity has only gotten stronger.

Creating a blog was something I always wanted to do and well, Covid-19 gave me nothing but time (a huge blessing in disguise). I made Style for the Soul to be a place for body positivity no matter what age or gender you are. My goal is to create a place for people to learn new fashion and lifestyle tips while having fun. This is just the start of my journey and I hope you can join me on it! Follow my instagram @ileanacarlos for fashion content and blog updates.

Lastly, I want to say thank you to all my friends, family and coworkers who have supported me from the start. It’s been a crazy ride so far but I wouldn’t be where I am today without the abundance of love I feel from everyone. Heres to a better 2021 and a year of even more growth!

XOXO, Ileana
