{ posh portrait }

nearly dropped dead smack dab in the middle of new york fashion week, when i opened up the daily (it's like the fashion world's version of us weekly), and saw an enormous, full-page photo of myself (taken by the illustrious garance doré, in an ad for glamour's young & post network) staring back at me.

things got even weirder that night, when i found myself at a stoplight in the back of one of nyc's ubiquitous yellow cabs. another cab pulled up beside us ~ and there i was again, smiling down from the car-top advertisement! seriously, seriously surreal.
big thank you's to garance and glamour! i'm so proud to be part of this network of talented ladies. i hope you'll check out all their contributors ~ and before you run off into the weekend, please also take a moment (if you haven't already) and enter my rebecca minkoff giveaway!!

Congrats !!!
I love your jacket, looks amazing !

Absolutely Mrs. K said...

well to me it is pretty natural that, as I said before, you were the first one I ever followed because you have style; you are amazing in matching things up. Take this photo as an example. The pale gorgeous colors look fabulous together. The pink and the brown look so elegant and delicate. You finished it up with a sparkling vest. Very tricky to wear a sparkling jacket, but not with you. You look elegant and sophisticated and it has a calming vibe (although I get very excited when I see a post of you). Oh my fabulous lady

love the delicate necklace you are wearing, perfect choice, as it does not distract or detract from the fun floral pattern of your jacket.

That must be the weirdest experience, to just happen upon photos of yourself all over the city! But that's ok because you look gorgeous, and your outfit is amazing, and it must have felt like such an honor. Congratulations!

Nothing better than a fab, talented person who is also humble.

Ppl genuinely want good things for that person, and consider them deserving. Proves you don't have to have an over-sized ego and talk a good game to get to the top when you have genuine talent that speaks for itself. Lovely manners, well played.

And congrats on being recognized for your craft.
