Studio Store Dreams

It's been a while since I've babbled, but I'm back with my thoughts.  As I lounged on the beach a few weeks back, I've daydreamed and reflected about work life and future aspirations, the studio/store dream.  So where did this come from?

About a month ago, my man requested I meet him downtown to check out a space. 
My response, "for who, for what" not thinking he could be talking about me, but he was.  We met outside the studio/storefront (windows covered in Kraft paper), but next door to it was an adorable little shop of the same size.  I fell in love, and that's all I've been thinking about since. 

The space (ultimate location) is out of budget.  But with all this talk lately, it's the next step in my adventure of a fashion business.  A space accessible to my clientele whenever they want to shop, when they're in the mood, not to be dictated by my rare seasonal events.  A space where they feel more comfortable to walk in and discuss their ideas and have them come to life, plus a rack or two of the ready-to-wear.

Please keep your eyes out for a tiny little studio storefront space for me.  And as always, still open for business here at home for any dress idea you may have, and in the stores with fun summer dresses. 

Below, a few essentials to my pretend studio store.

(A big desk to discuss ideas with ladies as well as cut my fabrics... 
I always assumed a cozy couch, but think this would suffice)

(The perfect oversized mirror... I did recently purchase one, but not as opulent)

(I know this may look like it makes no sense for a shop, but it does for me... 
a booze cart for when friends and special clients visit is a must, especially the pink bubbles!)


A few more random images that I've collected recently that I enjoy. 

(I would love to draw a sketch on a wall of my studio)

(Open and airy with a few mannequins to display my pieces as their own works of art...
I have acquired one from my girls for my birthday, but could use a few more)

(Not sure what to even say about this one, just think it's cute and different)
