t. g. i. f. // thank goodness I'm fabulous

Today's tgif doesn't come with an interview.  Not because my subject is hard to reach or too shy to answer some questions...but because...it's a SURPRISE.  Today I am celebrating one of my very best friends.  Happy birthday to my brilliant friend, Morgan!

Morgan could be considered a nomad.  She's lived in Memphis and Conway, but now calls Fayetteville home.  Like yours truly, Morgan hopes to one day inhabit NYC, if only for a while.  Morgan and I met in the fall of 2012 at an event where Whitney Port was speaking.  You can definitely say that our love for the fashion industry brought us together, and even more than that, it turned us into lifelong friends.  That following spring we had a class together, and gracious Morgan introduced me to a local designer she had been working for.  The designer, Leslie, decided she could use an extra set of hands, so Morgan and I grew from friends to a package deal of fashion interns.  (We like think of ourselves as the southern version of Lauren and Whitney.)

When Morgan isn't busy working her tail off in her apparel classes, you can find her with a Starbucks cup in her hand, listening to her xx albums, or dreaming up ideas for her inspiration board.  Morgan stays busy as a sales associate at Country Outfitter, a relatively new, super cool addition to the Fayetteville Square.

She and I aren't working together at the moment, but our dynamic duo is nowhere near over.  In a dream world Morgan and I could work under the same boss.  Or maybe be somebody else's bosses. ;)

Cheers to you, birthday girl.  Morgan Taylor, one of the neatest, most creative, beautiful girls I know.

love you, pretty lady
