Although I didn’t strictly follow the career path with my design degree, my friend and colleague Patrice Gentile did. The three of us practically lived in McGuffey square, the Fashion building where you would, and still do, find students diligently working away on their master pieces at all hours of the day. It was here that our creativity was built, sculpted and brought forth in to the art of fashion. These memories are something that I still hold dear to my heart. Between the blog and work, I practically live and breathe fashion; however, the creation and design process of fashion take place on another level and it’s that foundation that I miss dearly.

At that point in my life I was a junior at Radford University and was living the life. Going to class during the day, out partying with my sorority sisters at night maybe getting a workout at some point in between the two. I had just enough money in bank account each month to purchase food, booze, occasionally get my hair done and go tanning. Life was great. I felt like I was on top of the world but what I didn’t know then was that the stupid decisions I was making at that point in my life would later effect how I live now. I think we can all look back and think about how stupid we were when it came to protecting our skin from the sun. It was the last thing on our minds. I remember my mom telling me to take care of my skin, not to go tanning and to lather the sunscreen on my fair skin but being the stubborn twenty year old […]
