{ when kelly } met kelly

during my recent trip to california, i stopped off in los angeles for a handful of meetings ~ chief among these being a tête-à-tête with a personal role model, kelly wearstler.

i was beyond honored to be given this meeting; to spend a morning with one of my heroes was to have a number of wishes instantly granted! still, i was nervous. it can be disenchanting to meet an idol; what if they don't live up to your expectations of awesomeness?! but kelly was every bit the kind of woman i strive to be: modest, un-jaded, excited by her life, genuinely passionate about her work, and truly living her dreams.

showing me around her design studio, she seemed as much a kid in a candy store as i was! every item in every über-organized drawer was something she'd personally selected or approved because it absolutely inspired and delighted her. as she walked me through her new clothing and jewelry collections, it was clear that she is not one to rest on her laurels, and continues to set and achieve new goals for herself every day. in short, kelly wearstler is a bigger inspiration to me now than ever before!!
