Grateful for Love…Happy Thanksgiving

Hello my beautiful friends. I had posts planned for the past 2 weeks, but nothing seemed right. I feel like I needed some time…time to get over our election and heal the hurt feelings that came with the results and the anxiety after that—and now I can honestly and surprisingly say I feel better. I feel better because I realized I have not changed. I can still make a difference, I can still choose to be hopeful and support causes I believe in, I am… View Post

Last Minute Costumes from Your Closet

Happy Friday, friends. It’s nearly that time of year! Last minute costumes from my closet have kind of become a Halloween tradition for me, lol.  In case you can’t tell, I’m a bouquet (inspiration here)! While I love dressing up, I absolutely hate wasteful Halloween costumes, so I always head to my closet first! I really love my bouquet costume and will probably improve it for this year, so get excited for a full tutorial next Halloween! In the meantime there… View Post

Happy Monday, friends! Hope you had a lovely weekend. I’m renaming my “Review of the Week” situation to just “Props” :). Succinct and more apt, no? So today props goes to the beautiful film Queen of Katwe released by Disney, based on the book Queen of Katwe by Tim Crothers. Queen of Katwe is the incredible story of Phiona Mutesi and her journey from the slums of Uganda to participating in the Chess Olympiad and the circumstances, people and family that… View Post

Hello friends! Happy first week of Fall! Even though the weather’s cooler I feel like it’s still a wonderful time to garden…maybe an even better time than Summer!

Hi Fall and HIIIIIEEEEE ya’ll!!! I’m so so happy to be back :). If you remember this year was kind of a benchmark of a year for me and with work being crazy I decided I needed to take some time off. Hope you had a beautiful summer and are excited for Fall! I really really love the Summer into Fall transition– it allows me to still wear shorts (all-time favorite bottom) and break out some cozier items like this sweater.… View Post

Dearest friends, if you’re into fashion or photography you probably heard New York Times’ prolific and legendary photographer Bill Cunningham passed away on Saturday. I occasionally saw Cunningham around town on his bike–he trolled midtown Manhattan for his subjects and he was a revered presence at every fashion week, Gatsby party, and many other NY events I attended. While Cunningham was the father of street fashion photography, what always struck me is the joy that he had on his face while taking pictures and… View Post
