It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. I guess partly cause I’m getting discouraged about things. I have a tendency to give up on things easily and get down on myself at the same time. I’ve been trying to get back into working in the fashion industry and with the economy today and how long its been since I’ve worked in the field I’m not making much progress. So its been a few weeks since I’ve done anything productive and I’m feeling pretty guilty about it, this blog included. Sorry its been a minute.
Were you ever obsessed with Alice in Wonderland when you were little, or Peter pan, or any fairy tale? I remember when I lived in london there was a cartoon that was always on about these garden gnomes, I adored it and i was convinced there were families of garden gnomes in my back yard. My mom said I was always making houses for them out of shoe boxes, and filling the shoe boxes with my doll-house furniture. There’s something intriguing about a child’s imagination, and receptivity to anything and everything.
I don’t think as adults we get to escape as much as we should. There must be something we gain by escaping into a creative dream world, or an imaginative state like we did when we were kids. Sometimes the way I dress feels a bit imaginative, but I’m wanting more. I’m in the mood for really getting crazy, for escaping into a dream world with the way I dress. It’s a shame that more people don’t play around with creativity. We don’t have to be artists or writers to be creative.
I think sometimes fashion is supposed to be fun and adventurous. I’m going to Ibiza in a few weeks, and I think the trip is falling at a perfect time. I’ve been discouraged, and stressed, and down on myself. What better place to go and escape into a fairy tale adventure than Ibiza. I’ve been thinking about some really fun things that I want to bring, costumes I keep telling my friends, some of whom don’t really understand. I want to be crazy and let loose, and be adventurous, I wish I could all the time ( I guess I could but something about living in the midwest keeps me under control) So time to get creative, crazy and take a trip down the rabbit whole….here are the things I’m gonna rock!
HEAD DRESS!

Ibiza’s a crazy place where anything goes….inhibitions are left behind, and the energy of the people around you heaves with excitement. Hopefully I’ll have lots of amazing stories when I get back.
ta ta for now….
