After working as a theatrical costume designer , teacher and artist , I have recently dedicated myself to writing this blog .
I live in Vancouver , Canada with my partner Angelo. A great life begins with a purpose , my first priority is my partner and family and my second is meaningful work. In fact Dress The Part started with an idea to spread my love of fashion and sharing my expertise and knowledge. Hence this is my meaningful work.
