Last Minute Thoughts & Thanks

Hey guys, I just want to take some time to reflect on 2013. It's been one hell of a year for me, the most successful and exciting year of my life. I just want to say thanks. As I look back on the year, I'm amazed. Truly amazed. Almost speechless. I couldn't have ever imagined having a year like this. I had a fantastic Senior Prom, my Senior Fashion Show, graduated twice, then scooted off to college merely a week after graduating, met some great people in Pittsburgh, presented in Pittsburgh Fashion Week, had my designs recognized and praised, became an established and recognized designer and even dabbled in modeling. All while I was 17, all mostly by myself. Please I'm begging you, look at this and realize that you can do anything you put your mind, body and soul to. I never would've thought I, little Caitlyn Riegal, could do these things. I feel I've grown so much this year, as a person as well as designer. I know what I want out of life and dammit I am I going to get it. (Although I'm starting to accept that I might not get Harry Styles, love you baby.) I'm not just simply saying that I want my fashion house empire known around the world, it WILL be known. Everywhere. In every language. Watch. Stick with me babes and you'll witness the birth of a new phenomenon. Me. WITH COCO CHANEL AS MY WITNESS, I WILL CONQUER THIS WORLD KNOWN AS FASHION. Oh and earth. I'll probs conquer earth too, to be honest. Just a heads up.

Au Revoir, 2013!

Hello, lover! 

 I've been MIA lately, I'm quite aware,so I decided to squeak out one last post before the 31st. 

 As we say Adieu to this past year, I'd like to let you all know what my  favorite things are at the moment...

Scent? Gucci. Designer? Jason Wu. Nail Color? Wine. Hair? The messy-center-part-nape-of-the-neck-ponytail. Shoe? Low, stacked heel bootie. Trend? Hello, structured croptops! Accessory? Hats on hats on hats. Favorite news? A tie between Alexander Wang going after the knock-offs (which can be found at the bottom of this post) and uhm, RACHEL ZOE'S NEW BABY BOY, KAIUS!! 

Little disappointed I didn't get into an accident, die, then be reborn as Rachel's baby. But oh well, some dreams just don't come true. No, I'm not crying. Okay, maybe. Yes, yes, I am. 

Moving on! Just a reminder, although I'm not quite as active as I used to be on this blog, but keep up with me other ways! Follow me on Twitter and Instagram (@caitlyn_riegal) and Pinterest (Caitlyn Riegal). 

Now, I'll be posting again within the next couple of days so keep an eye out. This next year will be an exciting one. All I can say for now is that you'll see big things happening.....

xx Caitlyn
