So, the past week has been so surreal and amazing, and just seriously AWESOME on every level.  Thank you, universe, for giving me the best birthday week ever.

I flew to New York last weekend to model for JCPenney’s i Jeans by Buffalo line ^[1], and the photoshoot was without a doubt, hands down, the best one I’ve ever had.  I tend to get really nervous about modeling (which is weird, since this blog is probably 80% photos of me), but this shoot was just fun.  We had such an amazing team — the photographer, stylist, hair and makeup artist, and everyone from Attention PR and JCPenney, and my awesome co-models — and everyone just had a really great, fun day putting together some gorgeous photos of awesome clothes.

I can’t wait to see the final photos (the sneak peaks I got were amazing!) and I’ve already ordered the cardigan in the photo above (it’s here ^[2] if you want your own)!  I had so, so much fun and am SO incredibly grateful for this awesome opportunity!
