In 2015,Vazquez was living between New York and Miami with her then boyfriend. Her business exploded, which has since kept her busy as she continues to build her brand. Google also came calling along with retail giant, Bloomingdales. Neiman Marcus, the luxury American retailer, hired her to do similar events for them.

At one of her first events around 200 people showed up and grew organically from there. This was her breakthrough moment that marked her success and gained her the official title of being an influencer. Luxury brand Coach soon came calling and offered her more than she ever dreamed. In the beginning it was difficult, but she always felt “things were going to happen,” and they did. Vazquez wanted to differentiate herself from other fashion bloggers not by doing street style pieces but instead using her journalism background to showcase different areas of the city of Miami and infusing them with fashion. Her next career move was to create a blog known as, The Fashion Poet. On a day like any other, she went to work and found herself, “Walking down the halls staring at the dingy lights, feeling overwhelmed with sadness.” She decided then and there to quit her job and drive off into the direction of her dreams. She was so blown away by the presentation that she promptly dropped into her nearest bookstore purchasing the best-seller, “The Secret” and began down a path of implementing its lessons to create her dream life. One fateful summer as a camp counselor, she stumbled upon a female speaker who came to talk about Vision Boards (the hippest way to create your dream life). However, she found it challenging to survive in her freelance career so she turned to teaching. From early on in her childhood, she knew she wanted to be a full-time writer and fulfilled her dream by working for companies such as AOL and NBC. The Fashion Poet’s story begins in Miami, Florida where she grew up and still resides.
