California

Is my home away from home. The moment my toes touched the west coast sand at the tender age of 4 I knew that southern Cali was where I was meant to be. It was then, that I decided I would find a way to move there, and move there I did when I was 18.  My time in L.A was short lived as I only spent two years living in the splendid sun while I attended school.

See- at the time I had just met my husband-to-be right before I left the Salt Lake valley and while I was slaving away at school he stayed back- and we tried out the long distance thing- it was successful. 

Life has a funny way of working out and I was brought back to the Salt Lake area where I have stayed, and although it has grown on me, my love for my job is the only thing that has kept me here.  

This past week I was reminded of my deep yearning to be in southern California as I was lucky enough to travel for work to Santa Barbara where we shot our upcoming summer catalog and filmed our next Stylewatch video. This was my first trip going this far north of L.A. and I have simply fallen even more in love.

One day... I will make my way back for good. Coming home to a blizzard only affirms that thought.
