Every March, Charleston Fashion Week creeps up on me. It is, by far, the busiest work week of the year for me and in the past, I forget to eat, never get enough sleep and often wake up with a hangover. I decided that after six years of working the event, I would change all of that and approach this week differently. This year, I ate like Top Chef judge, got eight hours of sleep every night, and traded out my champagne for coffee. The result... My best year yet!

| Thursday lunch with my work sister Misty Lister at Leons. |
 |
| Wednesday and Thursday are my busiest days and require me to be in front of my computer, so I couldn't go to the tents. Instead, I worked from my sister's house with my nephew Henry. |

| Good thing I wasn't at the tents on Thursday... I was sad to miss Trina Turk's show, but I got to witness Henry's first steps. HE WALKED!!! |

| Thursday night I was able to wear on of Anna's garments that walked the runway on Tuesday. |

| This is what happens when you ask Seth to take a photo. First he takes a ridiculous photo of himself... |
