Today I will be on a plane to Milan. When the wheels go up, I fall in love. This happens every time I fly. I look out of my small window at the shrinking world and I see traffic jams, bright blue swimming pools, and row after row of suburban houses. Skyscrapers look like Legos and expensive sports cars look like ants. How insignificant the materialistic world seems from this perspective.
"When the wheels go up, I fall in love."
As I type this I think about how my life is going to change as soon as the plane touches down. Although I have been to Italy twice before, I have never been to Milan. A brand new city waiting for me to make it my own. My childlike sense of adventure is in overdrive. Studying Italian fashion in one of the world's fashion capitals means more to me than words can express. I have spent a lot of time thinking about how this experience will shape my future. I feel as if everything I have done up to this point has been in preparation for Milan. My early interest in fashion, my prior trips abroad, my decision to attend George Mason... Each dot has connected and life feels like one beautiful constellation. I am looking forward to embracing every aspect of Milanese culture, from the Prada to the pasta! I can't wait to share my experiences with each one of you right here on The Fashion Speak.
In the mean time, let's talk about music. I just rearranged my iTunes playlists for my flight. I never actually sleep on planes but I like to keep my music soft and mellow in hopes of it lulling me to sleep. Here are my top ten favorite songs from my Airplane Playlist:

Happy listening and see you in Milano! xx
