ADRIENNE MERRICK

Hi! My name is “A”, and I am a former ballerina, turned style blogger living in Dallas, Texas. I created Vanity Salad in January 2015 to share my love for all things fashion and my city. What started as a place to document my personal style and daily outfits, is slowly expanding into a creative outlet where my team and I can also share new and upcoming music, Dallas dining, city secrets, beauty tips, and more.

Thanks for stopping by!

RUSS AARON

Hi, my name is Russ (sometimes Ruzz), and I first began writing about music in high school, when I simultaneously discovered both my passions at once. I wrote for the school paper and played bass in a garage band – just your typical angsty and brooding teenager. Through college I pursued a degree in journalism and wrote about all kinds of things: house fires, shootings, baby birds, and the effects of violence in video games. Honestly, none of it compared to writing about my true passion – music. As the music reviewer for Vanity Salad, I will be sharing with you all of my favorite up and coming artists and all their catchy tunes.
