Doré, originally an illustrator, began blogging in June 2006 to showcase and communicate her love for all things beauty, fashion, lifestyle and travel.

Her blog, titled after her own name, is light-hearted, trendy and eye opening. Doré’s personal encounters and experiences are shared to inform and advise the reader as she engages with them for a more personal experience.

On Doré’s blog, you can find just about anything, from her very own illustrations, to videos of interviews and recaps of events, to a “diary” of her individual thoughts and expressions.

Doré has certainly made a name for herself. She has been featured in some of the top high-fashion magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue (she appeared in a Net-A-Porter ad in its August issue!), GQ and Elle France, and has been involved with clients such as Chloé, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chopard and Tiffany & Co.

Dallas blogger and former SMU student, Krystal Schlegel, will moderate an interview with Doré on Wednesday, Oct. 24 at 3p.m. in room 241 of Umphrey Lee.
