Every so often, your Yow Yow! blogger acquires a little bit of a girl crush on the people working in this industry. Sometimes they come and go. Other times, they last more than a few years and with regards to Connie Wang, this crush has been a lengthy one. If you’ve been reading Yow Yow! for quite some time, then you have seen me mention Connie on this blog before. When I first came across her, she was writing for Chictopia before leaving her gig there and becoming Senior Global Editor at my favorite fashion blog Refinery29 where she has been at for four years.

Like the other women we have featured on Yow Yow! this year for our series: Women Who Are Making It, Connie is an independent, creative spirit who exudes beauty, confidence, and a whole lot of sass. As a college freshman watching this video by Connie, I remember having that “AHA!” moment in my dorm room and feeling inspired by her words of wisdom and advice.

Flash forward four years later, her own company – Refinery29 – is featuring her in a video yet again to have her explain her passion and how she views fashion today. You can watch it here!
