Behind the Scenes at petitePARADE/Vogue bambini NY Kids Fashion Week 2013

Early in my fashion career, I spent a good amount of time working on fashion shows and showroom events.  You would be amazed as to how much work goes into making a 10- to 15-minute presentation look chic and completely effortless.

It was a typical Tuesday morning in late October here in the mom a la mode household, with my 2 year old racing his cars around, giving pause from time to time to gaze up at his favorite Disney Channel shows playing from our living room television.
