The life of a fashion blogger can be a glamorous one; after all, there aren't too many jobs out there that require you to attend VIP parties, annual product sales, and designer showcases. It's hard work, but somebody has to do it. However, in my opinion, out of the dozens of invitations a fashion writer may receive, those that truly excite are the personal invitations from a designer to visit his or her private showroom to view their newest pieces--or if you're lucky, pieces that have yet to be released.
