Buonasera! Have any of you guys ever listened to the lyrics of the song “Own It” by the Black Eyed Peas?? Well this song is the perfect song to describe my day, “this is my chance to own it.” But what exactly is “it”, “it” is my future, my dreams, my goals….”it” is EVERYTHING I want out of life. I’m sharing this with you guys because what I experienced today was spectacular, and for me an awakening to something I would like to pursue in life. Today we had the privilege to attend White Sposa Trade Show, under Editor and Chief Simone Polli, White Sposa is Italy’s leading bridal magazine. Twice a year White Sposa hosts a trade show of bridal gowns, tuxedos, hats, Italian wedding confetti, and bridal shoes, and we got the opportunity to view Fall/Winter 2011/2012 collections of some haute couture bridal gowns along with meeting the designers. The gowns we saw were astounding and very unique, some with exquisite beadwork and other’s with stunning life-like flowers sewn into the gowns. 
This experience was amazing for me because I’ve always been on the fence about going into bridal fashion. I definitely still want to do PR/marketing but I know for sure now that I would like to do it within the bridal industry. Maybe begin a career with Instyle Weddings or The Knot, I just know this experienced has helped me so much. And it’s not just the beauty of wedding that attracts me to the industry; it’s the emotions, the details, the art of it all. And I have give credit where credit is due; one of the designers we met was explaining his collection and the creativity he puts into it, from taking inspiration from the moon to sewing on every bead and crystal by hand, said “go after your dreams!” He also told as that if we want something that we have to go for and don’t let anything hold us back, which is why I’m entitling this blog “Own It,” which has a line, “if you’ve been dreaming your whole life, this is your chance….” So guys this is my chance and I’m taking it and with the grace of God every dream will be fulfilled and every goal will be reached!
(Unfornately I can't post any pictures of the gowns we saw today because they will not be on the market until September 2011)
Tomorrow Iceberg Catwalk!!
