Editorial

Anna Harms, Editor (Fashion & Fun)
Anna is a rising senior Communication Studies major at the University of Georgia. Currently, she has taken on the position of Editorial Director at BLVD - a local magazine focusing on style, culture, food, music, and much more. She admits to be slightly (okay, maybe completely) obsessed with the color yellow, floral prints, the Back to the Future series, the M.I.A. station on Pandora (with a little bit of Beyonce mixed in), making vintage and beauty eBay purchases, her handsome and super-smart future teacher boyfriend, and spending time sweating on the treadmill while jamming out to Britney Spears. An aspiring copy editor, Anna has a ridiculous knack for catching misspellings like a crazy, "you-are-not-normal" kind of person, but she's totally cool with that.
