About

Florine Read is a Connecticut based influencer and content creator. Black Girl Fly Mag began in 2009 as a personal style blog and a way for Florine to connect with women to share her love of fashion. It has since turned into her full-time job and has expanded to include beauty, lifestyle, home decor, and world-wide travel. Florine also launched a travel hair collection with luxury haircare brand in 2020.

“My passion for clothes and beautiful things started at a very early age. My dad tells me I’ve always been a girl with ‘champagne taste on a beer budget.’ Sure, I splurge on the occasional it-bag but I am a firm believer that you don’t need to be decked out in designer duds to feel GLAM. A few staple pieces can go a long way. And some lipstick never hurt.” – Florine, Black Girl Fly Mag
