Tell us about your favorite Crossroads find.
Honestly, my Mike Wazowski bag that I chose for the shoot is my favorite thing so far. Some people thought it was weird, but I’m obsessed with weird purses (even better if it’s a mini!). I love funny fashion, not everything has to be serious.

Sometimes I feel like I’m still figuring out my own style, but I love alternative the most. Whether it’s Pastel Goth or 90’s Grunge. that’s one thing I love so far about working at Crossroads, is that I am free to experiment day by day and change it up based on what I’m feeling.
What is your favorite thing about working at Crossroads?
I love it when I’m at the tagging counter helping someone in the fitting room or checking someone out at the register and they excitedly tell me about their Crossroads find. Like “Oh I’ve been looking all over for one of these!” or ” Oh my god I wasn’t even looking for this but it’s perfect!” I love that. I get genuinely really happy for them!
