Something Old, Something New

Sourcing in Something Old

Hey guys, I have been shopping almost non-stop as of late for my very first editorial shoot, and although it has been a lot of fun, it is also very tiring...hence my face in some of the pictures.

Believe it or not but, it was incredibly hot in London over the weekend.  However, I still don't trust the weather here, so I wanted to dress nice and cool, but just in case the temps started to drop I wanted to be able to cover myself.  I picked up this maxi dress some time ago at a Goodwill for a few bucks.  Usually, I wear it belted at the waist for a dressy look, but this particular day I just wanted to wear it loose because I felt it looked best with the sneakers.   And this comfy look with the sneakers were a must for running around London, and going in and out of the shops down on Oxford Street.

Life is But a Dream...

Hey Lovelies, it feels like ages since I've last posted on my blog.  My life has been in a bit of a whirlwind over the last few weeks, and today I will be sharing the exciting news.

Pictured above are photos taken during my very first day of fashion styling school.  Yes -  I quit my job, and moved to London to study the art of personal and editorial styling.  I am a foundation student at The London College of Style, and I couldn't be happier.  I've thrown myself in a different environment (completely outside of my comfort zone), with people from all over the world and we all share the same passions for the same thing - FASHION.

My new life, in my new city, is very surreal.  I have been here maybe 3 weeks and everyday is a new, fun adventure...even the hardships are fun and adventurous. 

If there are any of you that are unhappy in life, I beg you to just go where you heart is leading you.  Take the leap and just watch everything fall into place.  I will not say that everything will work out perfectly, but I know that you won't face an obstacle that you can't overcome.
