About

Thank you so much for stopping by! I’m Tessa and I live in sunny Los Angeles with my husband, Joe, and two dogs, Rooney and Husker. I was born and raised in a small town in Nebraska. I loved so many things about it but I always wanted to live in a big city. I do still love me some chicken fried steak and football! Go big red! 

Anyways, I left Nebraska and went to college in New York. The city of my dreams where I formed my world opinions and saw so many different types of people and cultures. It was incredibly enlightening to see all that at the age of 18. I ended up moving to LA after 4 years in NY. It took me a little while to fully adjust to the slower pace of LA. But it is certainly my home now.  

Why did I start Honest Darling?

I was tired of seeing my favorite bloggers wearing things that I couldn’t realistically afford in my everyday life. I believe in investing in good pieces and maybe a few splurges here and there just as long as all my bills are paid. I’ve always loved experimenting with style, trying new products and cooking…I love to cook and bake. It’s actually a stress reliever for me. So, that’s where the idea sprang from! I’m here to share my approach to an honest, stylish and filling life for the everyday girl. I also love shoes…I believe in the power of a good heel. You’ll see that’s my guilty pleasure! 

Again, thank you so much for checking out Honest Darling. I sure hope you come back for more!
