A Letter to My Dream Mentor and Fashion Inspiration

To the Fashion Blogger that changed my perception of Fashion Bloggers,

As Marketing Director for Megan Hess Illustration, Martina, you have truly opened my eyes to the happy, career-lifestyle balance a woman can make for herself. Martina, you are my dream mentor and fashion inspiration. Though a blogger and fashion guru, you are also the career woman I strive to be.

I have a love of fashion illustration and have been a fan of Megan Hess for a while now. After following Ms. Hess on Instagram for several years, I sought out other illustrators and bloggers who are similar to her because that’s what you do on Instagram. And then it all happened, your handle popped up as someone I should follow, I took a look around your Insta and blog, and I was beside myself excited from the minimalistic approach and gorgeous fashion.

As long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a strong, female in the fashion/business industry. I have leadership qualities, a bubbly and outgoing personality, and a passion for my work that can simply be described as a hard worker. Having had several internships over the past two years in the creative field, the advertising sales, and marketing industry, I have finally narrowed down my career dreams into a marketing job and haven’t looked back. As an advertising/PR student, I’ve learned a lot about both sides of the industry, paying closer attention to creative but dabbling in the business side. In the marketing field, I feel like that is where business and creative collide to create something whole.

Moreover, I do have a passion for fashion, as cliche as that sounds. But, being in a full-time student and part-time Henri Bendel associate, fashion comes second in my crazy life. Through your Instagram, I have been inspired to reignite the fashion flame and answer to the calling of minimalist fashion. Not only have you inspired me to get back into the love of style, but you have given me hope that one day I will be a successful Marketing Director, or PR Project Manager, or Social Media Coordinator. All in all, you have taught me the value of personal happiness while living out dream jobs in beautiful countries.

And last but certainly not least, thank you. I think I’ve made it clear that you are a role model and mentor, someone that I respect and aspire to be based on your success. Thank you for showing the world who you are and proving that happiness and success can be simultaneously achieved.

Best Wishes,

The Mentee you didn’t know you had
