Hi I’m Audra!

I’m a Texas-born gal, who made the move to New York City to chase my dream of working in the fashion industry!

Four years later, I’m an FIT Alumnus working in luxury Ready-to-Wear Product Development, a fashion and beauty blogger, and a Brooklyn resident with a pension for buying way too many shoes!

I started Southern New Yorker as an outlet for my love of style and beauty, but it has evolved so much further over the past 4 years!

I hope you can come here to get inspired, learn a new styling or beauty trick, and connect with a like-minded community of gals!

Please always feel free to reach out over Email or Instagram about anything! There’s nothing I’d love more than to hear from you!

 
One of my favorite parts about NYFW is getting to see friends who come from all over the world, and making new ones at the same time! ✨ Head to the link in my bio for 5 Trends from NYFW You Can Wear Now + affordable options that are easy to mix into your wardrobe!
Every year, the women of New York leave the past behind, and look to the future. This is known as New York Fashion Week ✨ This season was incredible, and I can’t wait to share my NYFW Trend Report (with affordable options you can shop now!) and Recap of the week, which will go up tomorrow morning! ✨ Go to the link in my bio to have them delivered to your inbox so you won’t miss a thing! 💕
HER STYLE ✨ Kayla Omsberg is an FIT Fashion Design grad, and such an incredibly talented designer and fashion sketch artist! 💕 She was one of my suite mates freshman year of college, and I’m so excited to introduce you to her today on Her Style! ✨ She dishes in her interview about how to get out of a creative rut, and what her favorite emerging trend are!

Back in BK ✨Spending a weekend with zero cell signal in the mountains has me refreshed and ready to tackle New York Fashion Week! It also has me thinking about disconnecting and self care as a regular routine. We can’t always escape to the Catskills for a long weekend, but a few ways to disconnect daily: * Turn off your phone at a certain time each night. 📱 * Read a book instead of falling asleep to Netflix.📖 * Try mediating for a few minutes each day. Apps like @headspace are a great tool to learn!☁️ * Put your phone away completely when spending time with friends and family and be present 👯‍♀️ * Look into bullet journaling. It’s a great way to mentally check in with yourself for those who don’t like to sit and write a full journal 📝 * Spend time in nature. Even if it’s just a local park, spending time outside is proven to relieve stress!🌳 . . What are some ways you disconnect and unwind? 👇🏻👇🏻
A few outfits of NYFW past ✨✨In less than a week starts my favorite time of year, and I’m so excited to bring y’all easy, shoppable trend reports, fun outfit ideas that translate to everyday, and even a super fun new quiz I’ve been putting together! 😜 . . Turn on post notifications so you won’t miss a thing 👆🏻👆🏻 And let me know I the comments if there’s anything you DO or DONT want to see! 👇🏻👇🏻 (All feedback is SO helpful! ❤️)
