Editor’s

LETTER

A

It is a honor for me to present to you our Holiday 2018 issue.

This is one of the largest projects I have worked on for Simply Audree Kate, and it feels like the only proper way to celebrate 2018. This past year taught me resilience, patience, happiness and the power of listening to my inner voice. Over these 12 short months, I have had the opportunity to travel to incredible places, my favorites including Hong Kong and Italy, I spent a majority of my work week styling photoshoots, and I even launched my career e-book, “Fashion Fundamentals: Internships, Networking and Social Media” in late March. It was a year of growth, challenges, and celebrated milestones. I am incredibly thankful for my friends, family and especially my team who have helped me grow my businesses and create beautiful and fun content every single day. Before you is a labor of AUDREE love, a collaboration of creativity and something I KATE am so proud of. I have wanted to create this magazine for over a year, and it’s been a long 12-month waiting game! I hope you enjoy our Holiday issue, and from the Simply Audree Kate team to you, have the happiest holiday season!

ANDIE AND ERIN Two long-time friends created Andie And Erin to celebrate women through fashion.

They design neckties for women and girls that are inspired by influential women from history and today, such as ‘Parton our Fringe’ inspired by Dolly Parton and ‘FLOTUS with the MOSTUS’ for Michelle Obama. Each necktie is accompanied by a storyboard that has an illustration and write up on the badass woman that inspired the design. All of the neckties are produced in the USA and majority of them are 100% silk. With each purchase, they donate a portion of the proceeds to an organization that is helping empower young women. They hope women can channel the superpowers of these celebrated women through our statement neckties.
