Hey guys! It’s been a while. For those of you that follow me on social media, you know that I took a much needed break to transition into a lot of things. Obviously, I have now settled into my new job and the new projects that came my way right before or right after fashion week. I took some time to...
It’s finally here!! The Day 1 Recap of Charleston Fashion Week. So let’s pick up where we left off… Tara (@misstartabelle) and I arrived to Charleston Fashion Week in Stella, a beautiful 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK 300.

Long time no see! Here’s a quick rundown of where I’ve been lately. Over the past couple of weeks, I was focused on preparing for the 10th year of Baker Motor Company’s Charleston Fashion Week.

Months ago, I had the honor of attending a lavish party on upper King Street in Charleston, SC. A party for the one and only, Amy Driggers of Taxidermy. Of course, I had to get in on the Taxidermy action and immediately wanted to work with her. Luckily, I know a girl who knows a girl. @MissTaraBelle quickly put me in...

An idea that I slowly turned into a project, built a proposal, and hit send on a email for the opportunity to work with a great brand. The idea was entertained and a collaboration was begun. Seeing an idea that I once thought was unattainable,...

So glad that we met and I will not let anyone else touch my hair from now on. You’ve seen his great work through the images on my blog and now youll witness...
The first two days of #NYFWM were incredible! Filled with shows and presentations left and right, the schedule was very busy. As we geared up for Day 3 and Day 4, we were a little relieved to see that our schedules had more down time. Day 3 started with the Coach presentation at Skylight Clarkson North. There were so many great...
After a busy first day of #NYFWM, we started Day 2 with a busy morning at the Skylight Clarkson North. The morning kicked off with a great looking runway at the Joseph Abboud FW ’16 Show. From a far it was not noticeable, but a closer look at the backdrop of the runway, and attendees could see Abboud’s attention to detail with a...
