little grunt girl...

i've been in london for one week now. wow. it's kind of crazy to be here after thinking about and planning this stage in my life for so many years. it makes me feel old and young at the same time. life is flying by and pretty soon it will be june and i will be married and driving back to that sunny place with him. but for now...
i started my internship yesterday. i am working for a lovely designer named julia smith( www.juliasmithfashion.co.uk ). i have to say i was pretty nervous standing outside her little boutique, my map in hand and snow patrol in my ears trying to calm me, but it turns out that both julia and joanne(a shoe designer who shares the space) are super nice and laid back. (thanks God!). joanne won a design contest with jimmy choo a few years ago so she is amazingly talented. apparently jimmy's shop is just around the corner and he comes into the shop every now and again. "you'll probably meet him!" joanne said to my quickly beating heart. meet jimmy?!? choo?!?! i am a small town girl. oh yes i am.
julia has worked for top shop and a few other major designers before opening her own shop and label. she travels to ghana a few times a year to meet with the village where her clothing is made. so amazing.
sadly i am a lowly intern right now. little grunt girl. my day was filled with pinning patterns, cutting fabric and running errands. smile. but i loved every minute! except when i got stuck in the tube doors. haha. at least i didn't die. got to be more careful!
today was filled with class, tea, skyping caleb, research, walking, bus rides, groceries and finally bed. good night from london!
