The Glamour Women of the Year Awards were last night, and I cannot stop reading articles & tweets today about how touching and lovely Jenna Lyons' acceptance speech was. As we all know, she had a difficult year (Page Six was all over her divorce and new girlfriend Courtney Crangi, Fox News criticized her for painting her son's toenails pink). She spoke about how her start in the fashion business was not so glamorous working in a hallway as an assistant to an assistant, but due a motto of "Nothing worth having is easy" she was able to eventually work her way up as President and reinvent J Crew to the current, buzz worthy business it is today. She thanked and credited her inspiring mentor (Mickey Drexler) for helping her build a fulfilling and trend altering career & loving son (Beckett) for reminding her that the world actually does revolve around him. Well thank you, world, for Jenna Lyons. And Congrats, Jenna! I think you're the coolest.
She's really just so freaking awesome. I find myself constantly re-Pinning pictures of her home as well.
