Several months ago, Flare contacted me to ask if I would like to be featured in the “She’s Got Flare” section of their magazine. Of course, I eagerly complied and was super excited and not to mention flattered! The whole experience was amazing and I was so shocked at how much work goes into the making of a magazine! An hour of make up and hair, an hour of shooting and two outfits complete with multiple bag/accessory changes later, one photo was finally ready to go to press. There was so much attention to detail and so much professionalism– the people at Flare have my utmost respect. Thank you to Mosha and the team at Flare for this great opportunity!

  1. This is so exciting! Congrats Jen! You look absolutely stunning in your photo. They couldn’t have picked a better blogger for their feature because you’ve definitely got ‘flare’ ;)

  3. holy cow jen! CONGRATS :D you’re a true fashionista through and through :) the h&m sweater i actually picked up for $10. it’s sad i know what you’re talking about exactly with the two asian girls, right? the rest of their bodies are cut off so i can’t tell if it’s cropped or not but it seems like it’s the same sweater! :D wearing it with a high waisted dolly skirt = totally your style too!

  9. Congrats Jen! This is amazing. You look amazing in the outfits. The spread came out perfect.

    Haha, the riding boots are actually NOT so warm. I’m considering picking up another pair of boots just for the snow – I don’t want to ruin these! P.S. I was freezing – I changed into my Mackage parka right after the photos :9

  10. Oh my, oh my! You are like famous blogger friend of mine, how awesome is that?

    WOW! Congratulations Jen!

  11. YAY!!!! Congrats!! This is awesome!! What brand are those boots? You looked like a model in your photos!!! So happy for you!

  12. LOL at “hiswisechoice.” This is fan-freakin-tastic Jen! I am so happy for you. Will you do some scans of any other photos that made it into the magazine? The one pictured is perfection, from the cape-coat do those booties to the faux fur and satchel.

    You are also adorable in your giveaway video. To avoid giggling and distractions I’d recommend a tripod instead of a boyfriend ; ) Too bad phones can’t mount on tripods (did you say you were using a Nokia to shoot it?).

  13. OMG this is so amazing!! You have come a long way so quickly with your blog, it’s so impressive! You look gorgeous :)
