Was going to start this caption with the Gossip Girl “spotted” and then I realized it had double meaning because of my dress and I’m feeling like a creative genius on this otherwise lazy Sunday 😂🦒✨ hope you’re all having restful day!
Look both ways before you cross 🚦🚧🚶🏼‍♀️ - Taking a few days to get back into the swing of things after NYFW and man it is weird how much I love days at my laptop! Spent the day doing some research for stories (including one that never got approved 😂), catching up on emails, planning out new content, and more. - I can’t wait to share my fashion week vlog this year because it really shows all of the not-so-glam moments and BTS. Coming just as soon as I comb through 2.5 hours of footage, most of which is probably me and @caitpatton goofing around 🤪 📸 @jalch11
Them: “and what’s the first thing you’ll do when NYFW is over?” Me: 🍕🤪 📸 @caitpatton
Fashion week is pretty awesome because you can go from admiring someone’s style on Instagram to actually becoming friends with them after you introduce yourself at a party 😂👭🥰 @cvazzana was so nice to me when I approached her at the Anna Sui party two years ago now and she also gave me an opportunity to write about my experience getting laid off from my dream job. @caitpatton was talking in her Instagram post from last night about cool people vs. warm people and I’m so glad that I’ve been able to surround myself with some of the warmest people in the industry! If you want to meet more people who do what you do don’t be afraid to attend events, conferences, or networking happy hours in your industry. You never know when and where you’ll meet your people! #asseenonme 📸 @amymorsephotography
Amidst all of the chaos and the late nights, fashion week still has so many “pinch me” moments, like twirling around in a silver @j_mendel dress, hosting my first fashion week event, getting to catch up with my industry friends, and continuing to support designers who create absolutely stunning clothes season after season. 😇💃🏼 it can be easy to complain and stress over day to day logistics, but this will never not be magical to me. 📸 @marina_mitkus
Leaping into my last day of shows 🤾🏼‍♀️✨ up today is @noonbynoor @sally_lapointe and @claudialiofficial 😍 📸 @karyaschanilec
SOS can’t choose a favorite from @aliceandolivia 💚💜🧡💛
Fashion is way more fun with friends 👯‍♀️ As I mentioned on my stories yesterday, attending fashion week as a blogger/freelancer/content creator is pretty different than attending fashion week as a staff member of a magazine. There’s a lot that I’m still learning about it, but being able to talk to other content creators about their experiences makes it so much easier to navigate. So just for fun, here are some things that @caitpatton and I have said to/texted each other this week: “Why don’t they have a tie-dye emoji?” “Can I wear my adidas?” “We need to go to Cha Cha Matcha before the week ends.” “I’m at 5%.” “I’m potentially shooting today as long as it doesn’t rain.” “I met Tezza!” “Let’s coordinate our outfits.” 📸 @jalch11
