I swear each fashion week I go to tops the next. Which always shocks me because who would have thought backstage at Tommy Hilfiger could have been topped? And the only celebrity sighting that could out do last seasons Kim, Kanye, and North encounter would be well, David Beckham. Who I happened to share an elevator and words with this time around. He was staying at our hotel and we finagled our way into getting on his elevator with some help from an insider on the staff. It pays to make friends wherever you go. Besides all of that and the excitement of getting invited to Monique Lhuillier and extending my trip for it… it was just what I needed. I can’t tell you how much I learn meeting these other bloggers and people in the industry. Most nights I had dinners set up with PR people from different companies. Over the past 3 years these people have become our good friends and we catch up on life just as much as we discuss the industry from both our perspectives. Times are a changing so it pays to get different views. Along with this new knowledge, the experience alone, and the inspiration, the week provided me some validation I needed. When you’re working for yourself on something that is a direct reflection of yourself AND you’re being judged on all of it publicly with numbers (likes, comments, engagement, page views, etc) you get a little down sometimes. It’s hard to keep the same confidence everyday and you definitely end up doubting yourself at times. Fashion week always reminds me why I started my blog and that I do have a voice in this huge industry. This is be no means a “woe is me” situation because I get to do the most amazing things, I just wanted to share another perspective you don’t hear much about. Check out my amazinggggg week below, shop my outfits, and if you haven’t already go check out the youtube video I made of the trip! Kinda obsessed with it. XOXO
