Book Nook:Dream Save Do: An Action Plan for Dreamers
Happy hump loves! This week of cold temperatures, snow and ice has me retreated in my home, under blankets with a book, any free moment I get. I told one of my best friend's just last nite, reading keeps me sane.
Getting lost in new thoughts helps me build my blueprint for the business I dream of starting. You have to start somewhere, and I started with a set of books. The last few months I have been drawn to books on finance, how to start your own business and creative inspiration/positive thinking for achieving goals.
Book Nook: What I've Been Reading
Many days I find myself sitting at work, ready to be off the clock so I can head home curl up in bed or on the couch, and read. A good book takes my mind off of everything except the content, story, and experience I am having while engaging with the words. Any time I have ever faced an uncomfortable challenge in my life, to a book I go. Maybe it's because growing up in a college professor household, you are told often, to read a book. Luckily, it was never a chore to me.

Book Nook:Front Row: Anna Wintour: What Lies Beneath the Chic Exterior of Vogue's Editor in Chief
There is nothing like getting lost in a good book. I find when I need to be inspired, I either search for tranquil scenery to allow my thoughts to roam in space, or I lose myself in a book and see what kind of thoughts I have floating around once completed. Peaceful brainstorming if you will.Writing has always played a major role in my life when it comes to personal expression. One of my favorite childhood memories is that my mom would write bedtime stories for my brother and me. And, she would encourage us to embellish them.
As I grew up, I found myself writing whenever I wanted a glimpse into my dreams. My stories were often about designers or clothing store owners, who lived the way I dreamed my future would be.Each plot was similar in that it was a strong queen who conquered fashion or interior design in some way. I have a pretty one track mind I guess you could say.
Anywho, my stories continued and my love of books made space for magazines. The sensation I get everytime I hold a magazine and experience the fashions on each page flipping through the first time,is invigorating. It brings a feeling of inclusion, because every page is filled with an individual's creative point of view; something I have been looking to express these last 24 years. I enjoy creating awareness about a brand or one's individual's visual story and trademark on the world.
To design is one of my dreams but capturing the stories of those who have already done so, is my
passion. I love to learn and then share knowledge with those trying to find their way to the dream God gave them. All of this leads to why I've looked up to Anna Wintour since high school. If you know me, you know I always think I can keep up with the boys when it comes to business. I'm quiet but very confident when it's comes to strategy and combine that with my passion. The top is my only destination. Anna Wintour embodies the epitome of the BOSS in my eyes. The Editor- in -Chief of Vogue for years, she has been the pioneer, founder, and now is the hierarch of American fashion publications.
Her presence has had me infatuated with the idea of becoming an Editor-In-Chief. As I venture into my mid twenties, I'm finding that mentors are important. If you aren't able to find one, books make a great second place. Read about the people you love to follow. Learn how they made their dreams realities and apply what you can to your plan.
After two weekends stuck in the pages between the front and back covers of Anna Wintour's biography, some say she's cold. The book does a good job painting a picture about the experiences that contribute to this impression. Reading about the beast within the beauty has really inspired the inner editor in myself. If you know me, it makes sense; and if you don't, sometime in the future I'll share with you why I say that.
Front Row: Anna Wintour: What Lies Beneath the Chic Exterior of Vogue's Editor in Chief (2006) by Jerry Oppenheimer has me claiming my path with renewed confidence. Mark my words, Editor-In-Chief will be an offical title I'll hold . . in the near future. For now, it's back to the books.
What books are you reading that have you ready to take on the world?
Share them below, I'll definetly check them out.
Book Nook:"ENVISION" The Young Accessory Designers Guide . . . .
Fact about Taila, I always have been, am, and always will proudly be a bookworm. I find books to be the best carrier of knowledge, inspiration, healing and an all the way around escape from the everyday life. If you truly know me, in a normal week, I'm attempting to juggle two books into my schedule. I believe in order to be the best in your field, you have to educate yourself on every aspect of the business. Luckily for me, everything pertaining to fashion/art/ and design intrigue me. Alas, I never run out of books!
