Talk to us! EDITOR’S NOTE How does one begin an editor’s note when they’ve always dreamed of writing an editor’s note? I feel like I have so much to say and at the same time, I don’t know where to even begin. This magazine is something I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl pretending I worked for Sassy Magazine. I always pictured myself living in downtown Manhattan, sitting in a light filled office surrounded by piles of clothes, ten-feet tall models sashaying in and out, while I designed and photographed, and put together pages to make your eyes smile. I wasn’t sure how it would happen, but I knew that at some point I would begin this venture. This issue is the beginning of a dream and you’ll see that theme woven throughout. I felt ready for this because of those family members who have always cheered me on, the friends who have felt like family, and the readers who have become friends. They always made me feel like I had something to say, like I was worthwhile. And they’re the reason I finally chased this dream. So this magazine is for all of you. The ones who have believed in me since I began blogging on Coming Unstitched. Who continued to read even after I moved to the new self-named Sarah Hartley blog. And who didn’t bat an eye when I announced the intention of this magazine. You only became more excited, offering to help and becoming cheerleaders once again. So welcome to Holl & Lane. A piece of me that I want to share with all of you. Sarah Hartley, Editor-in-Chief Have a comment about an article? I want to hear it! Email me: [email protected] Holl & Lane, Issue 1 3
