I have reason to believe that many fashion industry hopefuls out there could benefit from or find humor in, all the cracks in the runway that I have so graciously stumbled upon in my career. With this in mind, My Shoes Speak Italian was created as a means to share what inspires me in my career and in life. My mission is simple; to articulate my passion for the industry while contributing to the success of others. After all, fashion as a way of life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself.
My love affair with fashion has remained true from a young age. So naturally, once I discovered my talent as a writer, I believe it was only a matter of time before I chose to express my love on paper. Or in this case, through my blog.
As a result of trial and error, I've finally developed an efficient process for creating, maintaining, and promoting My Shoes Speak Italian. By developing a detailed editorial calendar, I've been able to brainstorm and plan my posts ahead of time in order to remain consistent. I draw inspiration from industry publications, fashion and lifestyle blogs I follow, and through observation of people, places, music, and style trends I encounter on a daily basis.

Engaging. Dynamic. Witty.
A pair of high leather platform peep-toe booties with neon details by Danish label Designers Remix Signature. These boots are to die for with their black tie-string at the ankles plus neon-colored soles and heels!
Sarah Jessica Parker. Hands Down!
I would love the opportunity to re-style Charlize Theron. In my opinion, she ranks at the top when it comes to being one of the most gorgeous women in the world. A versatile and natural beauty, Charlize can pull off any look.
My favorite pair of Linda Farrow Vintage sunglasses. They were gifted to me by the President of the company, Simon Jablon, after completing my internship in London.
My style is a direct reflection of my personality. I wear pieces that cater to my intelligence, creativity, and individuality while maintaining a balance between quality and affordability. I'm confident, free, and adventurous, with a versatile style that ranges from sweet to tough, and tomboy to romantic.
Fashion related - It would be How To Walk In High Heels: The girl's guide to everything by Camilla Morton. It's a stylish reference to life experiences. As for non-fashion-related - pretty much every book Cecelia Ahern has ever written, i.e. P.S. I Love You, and There's No Place Like Here.
