There are no clever words, or use in even trying to play this cool…that is my overly-excited, grinning mug on the cover of the September issue of Redbook magazine!!! #icanteven
I was chosen, along with five other amazing, beautiful, genuine women, as a winner of the Real Women Style Awards…and flown to New York for a whirlwind photoshoot, complete with celebrity hair and makeup teams, and world renowned photographer. And all this happened almost two months ago…do you have any idea how hard it’s been to keep this secret?!?!
I’ll be sharing more about the experience as soon as I’m able to put the incredulity of it all in to adequate words…until then, here’s a sneak peek behind-the-scenes video.
Thank you, dear friends, for helping to make this happen with your votes and support. I am humbled, and beyond grateful, to be part of this #RealWomenRealStyle movement.
To meet my fellow cover friends, Marija, Christine, Nikki, Psyche and Jeniese, click here….and be sure to pick up the September issue of Redbook magazine for the full spread, and more real women style inspiration….on sale today!! #pinchme #cinderellacalled #howisthismylife #mycuprunnethover
How exciting and how fun!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS. I can't wait to get the magazine.
SO! MUCH! FUN! You are DARLING in the pictures, and I CANNOT WAIT to pick up the issue! Would it be weird for me to frame it and keep it on my bedside table? I'm thinking you should blow it up on canvas and put it above your fireplace.

I went to Books a Million last night and bought the September issues of In Style, Harper's Bazaar and Redbook. My 11 year old daughter asked why I bought so many magazines and I told her that IS and HB were the BIG fall issues and that my friend Cassie was in the RB. She thinks for a minute and says I don't have any friends named Cassie. So I had to explain to her that I most certainly do its just that she lives in Texas and I follow her blog and she is darling and I'm sure we'd be BFFs! Congrats!
oh-em-gee Cassie!! you are officially famous!!! your style is one of my go-to since i started reading your blog long time ago…congratulations girl! you deserve to be in the cover♥
You look fabulous–so glad you were selected because I voted a LOT for you! 🙂
Congrats Cassie!! So excited for you, you look Gorgeous!! 😉 You certainly deserve to be recognized for your amazing and real life affordable style! I just Love all your fashion posts. Thanks for being a morning break away for me every day! Like I have said before, just like catching up with a dear friend each day. I loved hearing you speak on the video, and only makes me certain that we'd would be pals if I indeed lived in the lone star state 😉 Well deserved, so enjoy every minute!!
So exciting Cass! You certainly deserve all the accolades and exciting opportunities coming your way after all you hard blogging work! Congrats
Congrats Cassie! Totally going to look for Redbook here in Toronto. I love your fashion posts – you have helped me immensely with my style, and you totally deserve the recognition (and such an awesome keepsake for you)
How exciting!! Congrats you and the all the other ladies on the cover look beautiful!
Hi Cassie,
I really like the Trina Turk skirt you're wearing on pg. 64 (dark floral print) but I can't seem to find it online….do you have a link for that? I have been on the TT website and nothing looks quite like it.
Thanks a ton, Sarah
