New York City is such an awesome place! Like Alica says "concrete jungle where dreams are made of! There's nothing you can't do!" Last month I had the honor of working with Models of The Runway Winner/Singer/Actress/and now friend Kalyn Hemphill on her cover shoot for Encore Magazine! I had an awesome time. Not only did I get to write the interview to go along with the cover, I also got to be one of the stylist on the shoot! We got to pull amazing clothes from Prada, Allison Parris, and Sarar! One of my favorite pieces to style with where these fierce pair of Prada Shoes from their Resort 2010 collection.

Working on a shoot like this and styling is something that I have always wanted to do and it was so much fun! I got to meet some great new people and shooting at The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in NYC was phenomenal. Be sure to check out Encoremag.com for more exclusive behind the scenes photos! Check out the exclusive behind the scenes video now! I will be sure to post the next video for Encore's March Shoot with The Vivian Girls ASAP!
