This past year has been extra special for so many reasons… it’s the year I quit my job and decided to pursue my dream of having my own business… it’s the year I opened my online shop, launched my collaboration with Casetify, participated in my first Renegade Craft Fair, illustrated over forty looks during NYFW, caught the attention of some of my favorite brands, hosted my first trunk show, celebrated my second wedding anniversary, launched my illustrated calendar… and the list keeps going!

New York Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow and although fall clothes and sales are everywhere, New York is definitely still in a summer state of mind!

I’m excited to be able to attend a few events for fashion week while I work through commissions and keep up on the latest fabulous things strutting down the runways.

With fashion month coming to an end, I’m ready to start thinking full on fall! Here’s hoping it’s fall-like where you are =)

During NYFW, the new Soho Birchbox store hosted daily events for fashion week attendees to unwind, get hair and makeup done, test out new products, and make their own Birchboxes. I hadn’t been to the actual store yet and I was really impressed with how bright and happy it was. I completely took advantage of the complimentary Cynthia Rowley makeup touchup!
