by Alison Alhamed

You guys... YOU GUYS.... yesterday was the COOLEST day ever!! When MODERN first received the invitation to go to the Sherri Hill show at the Trump Tower during New York Fashion Week--I was so thrilled because I'm also a Kardashian fan and sister Kendall has been modeling for Sherri Hill lately--so I was familiar with the line and so excited to see the new launches. You can only imagine my excitement when I continued reading the invite and saw that the show was being HOSTED by Kendall Jenner!
