New Fabulous Intern & Guest Blogger!

Yes, Yes, I know...We are the worst at updating this blog with our busy schedule. But, we found a solution. We have a fabulous new intern here at k.hendrix and she is a fashion writer in the making, so she will be our guest blogger for the time she is with us. Here is more about Angelique, and the cutest photo, I love her already!

Angelique Cherie is the new fabulous intern at k.hendrix. Beginning as a young writer with a lifelong passion for art, culture, and lifestyle, she discovered in high school her love for fashion after serving as an editor for a literary magazine. Being an avid fashion blog reader, she started a fashion column that ran in print in her local school newspaper. Born and raised a Florida girl, Angelique practically lives at the beach, loves shopping, and enjoys a delicious slice of cheese pizza every once in a while :)
