Love Emmarie is about to become your newest obsession. Run by DHM apparel merchandising major Emily Bruner, it will soon become your source for all things fashion and fitness related.
Emily originally started blogging her sophomore year of high school in a “super tiny town in north Texas called Gunter” as a creative outlet for her interest in fashion.
“I was that girl that drew her own clothing lines as art fair projects. I knew I probably wouldn’t end up designing clothes, so I needed some sort of creative outlet. And so Love Emmarie was born!” It has changed slightly since it’s inception, though. After meeting her freshman RA and watching her train for a weightlifting and body building competition, Emily found her love for fitness once reignitied. “I’ve played sports since I was 4 and throughout high school (I’m super competitive), but after coming to college I had no way to channel that competitiveness,” she told me in a recent email interview. After months of strict training and dieting, she competed in her first bikini show last November, and is currently training for the April OSU Cowboy Classic! “Competing on stage in the actual show is terrifying, but knowing you pushed your body to its limits and have the determination and dedication to go through with it is empowering to say the least.”
Speaking of being empowered, Emily finds that expressing her personal style makes her feel more confident, and knows that feeling “like a smoke show,” is all that really matters.
