The Personal Touch Go the extra mile with personalized gifts and handwritten notes.

The past few days have been a little difficult and despite the cheer in the air and in my heart, I have been crying at the drop of a hat…

I was in the middle of another meltdown earlier tonight, when my Dad came home with mail. He had two boxes, one of which was from Anthropologie and it was addressed to me.

I asked Mom if she had ordered anything because I hadn't and I didn't want to ruin any surprises. She said that she didn't. I was so confused.

I opened the box and I began sobbing. Inside was the beautiful sweater that I had said I wanted in this post. It was from the wonderful staff at Polyvore! Not only did they send the beautiful sweater but a mug and a gift card that has one my sets on it! I was so overwhelmed. I just didn't know what to with myself.

We asked them about their fashion industry aspirations.

Helped Samaria get an internship at Cynthia Rowley

Everything with Cynthia Rowley has been great. I am so thankful to Polyvore for connecting me to this wonderful opportunity. If I tried to d o this on my own I'm sure I would've been the coffee and errand girl for awhile. By being introduced by Polyvore I was able to start with Cynthia Rowley because they were able to see proof of my talent through my sets. I am enjoying gaining the experience of putting marketing sets together for her page and love her designs, so it is definitely a great fit for me.
