Sometimes the world gets strangely small and people begin to connect like numbered dots in a row, and we all wonder some days who is going to be the one to actually know Kevin Bacon. Meeting Sarah was kinda like that. A connection through a friend from high school, my literary agent, and then this gorgeous magazine I saw at Anthropologie …I knew I had to meet her. As it turns out now, you get to meet her at Allume this year too! She is a beautiful soul with a passion to restore the true art of being a woman to this generation. Read the magazine’s mission and I dare you not to feel excited about it! She is genuine, kind, true, and a world changer, and we cannot wait for you all to meet our friend, and Darling Magazine’s editor in chief, Sarah Dubbeldam!
