It has been roughly nine months since I graduated from the University of Missouri. Time surely flies, it feels like just yesterday I was filing Tiger Trends with Emily and getting dressed for Roxy's with my girls. A lot has changed for me since moving back home, so I figured I would give you guys an update on my post grad journey.

My goal is to teach other first-generation college girls that they can build successful digital brands without a ton of money. Below I've compiled a list of blog posts filled with tips and tricks for brand building and growth on a college budget.

Do you want success in life after college? That means being intentional with your goal setting, planning, and time management. It's time achieve your scary ass goals! 

This is the hardest blog post that I have ever written, but here it is. I am suffering from post graduate depression and it sucks.

I felt really New York in this Klout beanie. I mean, we did shoot in an alley filled with dead leaves and trash. Surprisingly, this was one of my favorite looks because I was outside of my comfort zone. 

A lot happens before you turn the big Dirty 30. The trick to success in your 20s is knowing what to invest your time and energy into, so I created this list of 5 things to invest in while in your twenties.  

Cheers to my first style post of the year! What an incredible year this will be! I can't get enough of this oversize bow. It takes looks from cute to stylish instantly.

New year, new site. I decided to merge my blog and business because it made sense for my digital brand. It was frustrating trying to separate my blog identity from my personal identity. I want to use this platform to talk about real life issues, not just fashion. Oh yeah, I also got tired of paying for multiple domains. #postgradlife

Since starting Jasmine Diane I have grown as a woman, friend, sister, and businesswoman. Simply put I have taken ahold of my life and future by working hard. Now some might say that this is a part of growing up, but my question to you is "What do you want for yourself?" Where do you want to be in 5 years and what steps are you taking to get there?

Are you a shoe hoarder? I wouldn't say that I am a hoarder, but as of lately I have grown to see the importance in investing in good shoes, meaning shoes that can be worn for more than 1 season. Black boots are great shoes to start your shoe collection because they go with nearly everything. 

Instagram quotes, say what? Can you believe that there are only a handful of days left in 2015? It honestly blows my mind because this year was one of the best years of existence.

I love skinny jeans as much as the next person, so I thought that it would be helpful to show various ways to style distressed skinny jeans with HayQueen.com Editor-in-Chief, Ieshia. She's such a joy to be around + drop dead gorgeous.
