Inside Model Rehearsals...

Guest Grit by Bergen Specia

{Grit will have more of Ayoka and Co.'s in-the-trenches CFW blogs all week, so stay tuned. The author of "CFW: Model Rehearsal" is Bergen, an aspiring stylist who spends her days scouring the city for cool vintage finds, wasting way too much time at her favorite local coffee shop, collaborating with fashion folks on nifty photo shoots and of course, going to the coolest parties around town.}

Today was the last rehearsal before the main event. I am the assistant model coach, and seeing my little babies up there strutting their stuff made me a proud mama! I have seen all the hard work and hours they have put into becoming the best models they can be, and I could not be more excited to see the final product today and through the rest of the week.
