Do what you love and love what you do. The short / sweet version.
It’s funny how I’ve always held onto that as far as I was about 6. I remember it started with wanting to be Pocahontas when I grew up. Then it changed into a business woman after I found out how much fun it was to write on expired checks and hand it over to everyone at my mom’s old office on those “take your child to work days.” Then when I was about 10, I realized that writing checks isn’t for me after all. I’d rather be receiving them anyway * hair flip*.
Then something amazing happened.
I met Nicla and Michel, the founders of Gypsy Warrior, the boss ladies of loving what you do, the girls of adventure and all things Gypsy Warrior, the movers and shakers. Along with the whole brand, they’ve empowered in me to believe in that possibility. Do not let the harsh reality of society make you abandon your passions. Follow your heart, but let your mind guide you along as well. Start somewhere, continue, and once you’ve reached your destination, keep going. Don’t be content, never forget why you started and most importantly the only reason for you to look back is to see how far you’ve come.
I love adventure, I love inspiring women and I love the business aspect of fashion and fashion itself. I guess becoming Pocahontas and being a business woman while loving fashion was possible after all.
To those who came out and enjoyed Gypsy Warrior’s Fashion Night Out, thanks for coming through! It was such an inspiring evening at their Ridgewood location.
Thank you to Sugar Supply for the rad cake pops! I wish I could just preserve them and never eat them , but they’re just as good as they look!
Thank you Trisha Singh for the photos!
