Calling Kate Upton an "It Girl" right now would be quite the understatement. For the second year in a row, Kate graces the cover of Sports Illustrated's coveted Swimsuit Issue--wearing a parka in Antarctica!--and the bombshell model spent much of Valentine's Day week touring the country to do press, red carpets, TV appearances and more in support of the 2013 cover.
But where would Kate be without her beloved "glam squad"? Celeb stylist and social media master Peter Butler has been traveling with Kate to style her for appearances for four days and counting, and he's documented much of it on Twitter and Instagram. Butler also made the trek to Antarctica with Kate to style her for the SI cover. Let's take a look at some of his adventures on the road with Kate and her makeup artist Tracy Murphy.
