2013 Year End Report

Whirlwind. That's the word I would use to describe this year...its been absolutely amazing! I’m beyond thankful for every single opportunity, experience, job lead, reference, and relationship I’ve been blessed with this year. I’ve met some amazing people and been around the world and back, twice.  My initial purpose for this blog was to document my journey of becoming a fashion stylist (which I’ve sucked at btw…Sorry, I’ve been a bit busy).  I had no pre-determined thoughts about who I wanted to work with, what type of styling I wanted to do, nothing. I just knew I wanted to be a stylist, and I was willing work my ass off until it happened.  Well, not only did it happen, but it happened in a way that was insane!  I found myself saying “Am I really doing this?”, “Is this really happening right now?” A LOT!!! I’ve only scratched the surface in terms of how far I still have to go, but I’m extremely happy with the progress I’ve made in this short time.  I’ve compiled a list of various people, places, and things I’ve experienced this year working as an assistant stylist!
