So I went to a show at New York Fashion Week. I’m still in shock. Granted, I wasn’t quite esteemed enough to have a seat, but I did get to attend an incredible fashion show as press. I’d stand in heels for an hour any day if it meant getting to witness the magic of a runway.

5 Things I Simply CANNOT Do

5 Things I Simply CANNOT Do // eyelinerwingsandprettythings     This post has been on my list of ideas for a month, but I’d been putting it off. Once I saw Dana from The Wonder Forest‘s post about this, I decided to finally write this up. Her blog is gorgeous BTW, I’m definitely a fan.

Anyways, I’m a pretty inept person when it comes to a lot of basic things. I can paint my nails like an ambidextrous person and wing my eyeliner like a professional, but when it comes to these things I simply cannot…
