SIMPLY UNFORGETTABLE SET

Good rays

good friends

good times.

Loving this or any set I get my hands on

it's a top

it's bottoms

it's an outfit

or not.

it's choose your own adventure.

Sort of like yesterday.

You know when you mix the right people together and then 

boom.

magical. 

I got a little bit of that this weekend.

Love you girll.

Bent but never broken.

It's funny how your current situation can affect how you view things.

I was walking down the street today with a coworker to grab lunch and I broke my favorite necklace, and shattered my phone screen all at the same time. 

Thankfully I had some protection on that guy.

And I did something that I haven't been able to do in a while, I took it for what it was and moved on. 

I even giggled about it a bit afterwards.

Why dwell? Why keep thinking about something in your life you can't change for so long afterwards?

This is something that is easier said than done, something I am constantly trying to get into.

And hey, I screwed up material things, I wasn't confronted with hard-hitting problems, so how much could it really affect me anyways?

All i'm saying is my outlook on life feels a little lighter right now than it used to.

So i'm putting this post here so I can remember that for the heavy times, and you can too.

And when, say, my best friend moves 5,171 miles away i'll be ready to deal with it with this rediscovered peace.

Home is where the love is.

My initial plan for this post was to speak about how I just signed the lease to a new home and how bittersweet it feels to be moving on after a year in the real world, how the little details of my current apartment seem to speak to the peace in life that I am beginning to find, but events transpired and now that all seems so small in the grand scheme of life.

Family is everything to me, and today for a split second I thought that I had lost a part of myself. A false alarm, my heart skipping a beat and then falling back into rhythm. I realize all the time how lucky I am to have such an excellent support system, to have three people in my life that will have my back no matter what, and how fragile it seems, not only today, but all the time. How fragile life can be.

The more I grow the more I see how life is composed of a series of obstacles. It is how you adapt to change, the way that you compose yourself through the tough times, the way that you embrace the great times and the way that you are humbled by those breathtaking moments that pass that define who you are.

On the smaller scale, yes, moving away from my first real home in new york city after a unpredictable first year of my life in the real world is something that seems important in life right now. But on the larger scale, its one stepping stone in the pathway to life, and I like to think that my stride has grown this year.

Life is precious, hug a loved one.

attire.

I had the very special pleasure of witnessing love this weekend. One of my fabulous coworkers walked down the aisle as 'the bride' and entered this week with a new last name and is now deemed 'the newlywed' Never have I seem such a happy and more beautiful bride, and I was honored to be a part of all of that!

Finding a great out to go along with a classy event was a trip, I searched every brand on Bloomingdales, prepared myself to spend many dollar signs on brands that are reserved only for special occasions, and made many a browse online. I only had one thing in mind - I wanted a separates outfit. I ended up finding this top and bottom at Zara while just browsing one day. Each are different materials, but both fancy, and even better, both on sale! You know, sometimes outfits just seem to find you.
