Wanted to share my excitement about something happy that occurred for yours truly this month . . . NPR's most popular program, All Things Considered aired a story wherein my dear friend, former editor at ELLEgirl and fellow authoress, Melissa Walker, reported about her 3 current favorite book picks in honor of fashion week, and Vintage LA was one of them. Huzzah!
One of my favorite things about Walker's story was that my lil' ol' book was mentioned alongside Diana Vreeland's legendary memoir, D.V., which was one of the first "grown-up" books I ever read as a kid, and was most-likely the inspiration for me wanting to be a scribe. Hearing Melissa say my name, followed by Vreeland's was enough to make me cry real tears of happiness, and to jump up and down holding hands with my mom (jaded, i'm not).
You can listen to the whole story here, and please be sure to leave comments and use the "recommend" option, if so inclined (and to ensure that Melissa can report on many more vintage-friendly stories like this in the future).
