Ever since I spotted Essie’s Sunday Funday on my bestie Heather, I was on a mission to try it out at my next mani appointment.

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.
