{ window dressing }

i've just returned home from milan, where i went for a few days' of fashion week action. while there, i was invited to style the front window of the dolce & gabbana flagship store ~ talk about a dream come true!

this experience got me thinking back to a decade ago, when it came time for me to apply to university and pick a career. there were so many things i wanted to do (fashion design, merchandising, styling, illustration; jewelry; product design; interior design; creative writing; journalism ~ and on and on!!), but conventional wisdom decreed that i had to pick just one. so, i chose to focus on designing clothes, then studied and ultimately worked in that field for many years. but eventually, i found myself longing for more. i loved what i was doing; yet my imagination got antsy.

thus, this blog came about as a much-needed creative outlet (one that i long-assumed would remain secret) ~ and now, i suddenly realize that i'm actually getting to do all the things i ever dreamed of! and i have to thank all of YOU for making it possible, and inspiring me to keep moving forward. if i can do it, you can too!! life really is as big and as full as we can dream it to be, don't you agree?!
