My first fashion obsession started with Italiano designers; more specifically, Dolce & Gabbana. Their designs are pure genius and so creative. The silhouettes are also very feminine and timeless. Other designers like Versace and Valentino have also been very influential to me and I spend a generous amount of time admiring their work. Italian designers are so innovative and the details are truly unique and beautiful. This is seriously my dream dress! Although, I would never be able to afford it or this one, I draw from their designs for inspiration.
When I found this dress I immediately fell for the pattern and thought of the intricate embroidery and brocade of my favorite Italian designers. Romeo & Juliet Couture definitely is channeling my favorite type of design and most importantly, my price point. Can you believe this dress was only $19.99?! This is a more casual look, but I can’t wait to show you other ways I’d style this dress.

Windows are the eyes to the soul, or is it eyes are the windows to the soul?! I’m pretty sure it’s the latter… When traveling I used to always want something tangible to bring back with me to remind me of the trip like a souvenir, but lately my souvenirs have been my photographs. I feel inspired when I look back at the images and capture the moment.
I can look at a photograph and come back to it years later and still feel something powerful like I can physically imagine myself at that place hearing, smelling, seeing, even touching and tasting my surroundings. I try to take in everything around me because I never know if I’ll ever be at that place again, so I want to feel everything and never forget about it. These are some of my favorite photographs of windowsills and doorways (front lawns) from the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.
I always wonder what people’s lives are truly like sometimes inside these doors and windows. I’ll always be that curious traveler wondering what life is like for others…
