Q&A with Makenna Willhite!

Can you tell us a little bit about you and your blog?

Of course! I'm a Seattle transplant living in the desert and obsessed with all things fashion and beauty.

I moved from Seattle in 2012 to attend The University of Arizona. I graduated in 2016 with a degree in marketing and now work full-time in the Phoenix area. 

I started my Instagram blog in 2017 as a way to express my love for fashion and to inspire and encourage young women to be confident in their own skin, have fun and show their personalities through their wardrobe.

I’m excited to continue my journey on MakennachristineXO.com, which will include more beauty, lifestyle and travel posts.
