I wore this tweed skirt in the inaugural Louboutins & Love outfit post and here it is again four years later, post rebrand to EstherSanter.com. It’s crazy how even though my style has evolved and changed over the years, I continue to wear certain pieces. Confession: I still wear some of my clothes from high school! Apparently this skirt is making me sentimental, so in this post I’m going to reminisce about the top 10 experiences that were made possible because of my blog.

My 10 Best Blogging Moments: 

1. Receiving my very first invite to NYFW (Thank you, Nanette Lepore!)
2. Collaborating with brands I’ve loved for years, like Banana Republic, Coach, and Uniqlo
3. Experiencing my first gifting suite, where you’re invited to a showroom and gifted one of everything you see
4. Working with Teen Vogue and InStyle Magazine
5. Getting invited to the Nick Jonas x Demi Lovato concert… and sitting 3rd row in a stadium of thousands of people
6. Scoring a collab that involved posting 1 photo in exchange for more money than my rent costs (only happened once so far, but goals right here…)
7. Getting invited to Ivanka Trump’s intimate holiday party
8. Attending Jourdan Dunn’s charity event with Cara Delevingne, Rihanna, Naomi Campbell, Karlie Kloss, and Alek Wek
9. Scoring a modeling job with Almay Cosmetics
10. Spending my morning at the Christian Louboutin private sale and then spending my afternoon at lunch with the Louboutin team

Blogging isn’t easy, especially since the industry is so saturated, but it really has allowed for amazing opportunities. Blogging encourages you to dream big because honestly anything is possible. I’ve seen my blogger friends (some who have smaller followings than I have) get sent on helicopter rides around NYC, get flown to Europe on all expenses paid vacations, and get invited to incredible movie premiers. 2017 is the year of the blogger. Literally anything can happen. Let’s make it rain.
