Happy Easter my little babies!!
I've been a busy little bugger lately. That's my completely valid excuse for not posting in two days.
The fab little lady above, Rumi Neely, is my complete and utter idol. A normal girl living in California, loves fashion to the fullest, recently got picked up as a model, and was literally handed her own clothing line by RVCA, she's living proof that anything you want to happen, can, of course, with a little (ok, a lot) of luck, by mastering your networking skills and, well, just knowing the right people. I'll take a walk in her shoes ANY day.
With a drop dead model boyfriend, a to die for body, and the most amazing wardrobe (which consists of 85% vintage, 5% DIY, 5% gifts from designers, and 5% pure luck bargain finds - hate her), she is literally living each and every one of my ultimate goals in life. She's one of those people who is just simply blessed, receiving probably everything she deserves. The best part is, is that she never complains, ever. She just loves living. Rumi is NOT a celebrity (although she totally has grounds to be one), she's totally normal, she's just been given some of the best things in life. She's living the live that I want to be living this very moment. Jealous. And very legit.
BTW ... If anyone has ever in their life seen these boots that she's wearing in the photo above, please fill me in, I have been stalking them for two weeks with no luck. Rumor has it that their Sam Edelman. I swear I'll stalk out his phone number and force re-production on those boots if I have to. They are a wardrobe necessity.
I've decided to seriously start my own clothing line. (How many times have I said that before, and it's fallen through. Maybe I'm jinxing myself?) But for the moment, just a mini one. Although money is the number one role player in this, I think I'm finally up to par with all of the connections I need ... for now. You can never have too many connections. I'm not 100% on what I want to do (I have way too big of dreams to even attempt at making them a reality right now) but my mini goal is to make a boat load of handmade pieces and open an Etsy shop. This way, I can make one of a kinds, and actually make money off of them. BUT, I'm going to need you guys to help - to help get the word out! Don't worry, I'll cue you in.
It's going to take what will seem like a lifetime to actually get this off the ground. (My perfectionist side comes out full force x 10 when it comes to creating pieces, or fashion in general.) But I'm serious about this. Realizing that I'm working my dream job and still not totally happy, it's made me realize all of the things that I actually want, and need to do. I've realized what can be a reality, and what can't be. I've finally sorted it all out. There's no better time. Actually, it's the worst time, because I have put myself into damaging debts thanks to the traffic laws in the wonderful state of New Jersey. Nonetheless, I'll make it work. I promise.
So, hello to no spare time. I'm dedicating all of that to my soon to be explosive line.
Watch for your cue, kids!
