Dear Diary,

I'm back from my NYFW adventure. Best. Trip. Ever. The Fall Collection from Ralph Lauren is absolutely spectacular, you should definitely check it out. I am so grateful I was able to witness the show for myself...a check mark has definitely been added to my bucket list.

check out my video of the show below:

Ladies who luncheon

Dear Diary,

Today was the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Luncheon at the Morton H Meyerson Symphony Center. Our beloved leader, Crawford Brock, was given an award for hosting this one-of-a-kind fashion show and luncheon for many years. Us assistants held down the fort, but got to enjoy people watching when the ladies returned to the store for champagne and shopping.

xoxo, the Couture assistants

There's a first time for everything...

Dear Diary,

It's official. I'm officially going to NYC. I'm officially invited to the Ralph Lauren Collection show.

I'm officially too excited to focus on work.

I couldn't think of a better way to spend my Valentines day...who needs chocolate when you can have couture?

xoxo, Chloe'

ps...if someone still wants to send me chocolate, I won't object.

Hungry...why wait?

Dear Diary,

Today, Nat and Jules have started a 5 day juice cleanse...I'm concerned for the safety of everyone that works here. Stay tuned...it's only the first day, and apparently days 2 & 3 are the worst (yikes!)

Dear Diary,

We are in LOVE with this new Nina Ricci resort dress that just arrived...I mean, how could we not be? I'm thinking it needs to become a permanant part of my wardrobe...but I'm willing to relinquish it to one of our fabulous customers...I dare you to come and take it.

But seriously, this dress is amazing, those butterflies are hand painted onto the dress, and if you saw Nat's Instagram earlier, (#butterflies #pastels) you know she's freaking out over it.

And then there was three...

Dear Diary,

We would like to introduce you to our newest addition, coming all the way from downstairs in shoes...Julia (or Jules) will be our Valentino, Lanvin, and Fendi go-to-girl/assistant buyer. We saw it only fitting that she join Diary of a Couture Assistant, since she is technically a "couture assistant". We love Jules to death, and we are very excited to have her impeccable taste and her height (she's our own lil "daddy long legs" and we're her "rollie pollies")

Xoxo, Nat & Chloe'
