To the amazing, lovely, creative (the list could go on…) readers who have been following and supporting New Dress a Day since day 1 ($364 to go) until now. I love and appreciate each of you and am forever grateful for your presence. You’re my blogosphere family and I am one lucky gal.
To Mom, Dad, and Dane, my (Plymouth) rocks who have given me all the love, support, help, advice, shooting locations, and heart I could ever wish for. I’m lucky to have spent my years under the same roof as you. xo
To the rest of my family and friends—what an amazing unit to be a part of. The endless support is overwhelming and so greatly appreciated. Love you.
To Jeremy Tarr, Jordan Whitley, and Max Roman, the creative geniuses who made the photos stunning and the words make sense. You’re already hired for the next book J.
Agent extraordinaire Meg Thompson for being my dream partner and simply being awesome.
To everyone at Ballantine for believing in me—my editor, Porscha Burke; publisher, Jane von Mehren; the lovely designer, Liz Cosgrove; my production team: Shona McCarthy, Sarah Feightner, and Jenn Backe; and publicity mavens Ella Maslin, Sharon Propson, and Susan Corcoran. I wore the pages out of my The Random House Book of Poetry for Children when I was a kid and now Random House is publishing my book. It’s a total dream.
I’m forever indebted to all the friend-tographers who helped document my daily outfit journeys while hanging out and those who actually posed in the pics! (This is like my HS yearbook page; get ready for the initials!) Without their support and keen skill for snapping pictures, I would have been the only one to see my daily outfits. First round of drinks is on me guys. You rule.
