J Crew Style Event

Christmas has been, and forever will be one of my very favorite times of year. I love everything about it- the city draped in twinkly lights like little diamonds frosting buildings and trees; Christmas carols gently filtering through each radio station; hot holiday cocktails layered with fresh citrus and spices; and of course, the swanky holiday soirees filled with delicious food, lots of laughs and of course, dear friends. 

This year, as a little cherry on top, I’ve paired up with J. Crew at Flatirons Crossing to host a styling event focused on party ready looks full of color and sparkle. 

This Friday, December 14th from 5-8pm, I’ll be there to help style and shop, while sipping on refreshments, enjoying some sweet treats, and everyone that comes out will enjoy 30% off your purchase!

To say I’m excited about this event is an understatement, and nothing would make me happier than seeing a few friendly faces, so if you’re interested check out the event page: J. Crew Styling Icon  and make sure to RSVP!

Childlike in Wonder, Romantic in Revolt

“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.”- Robert Fulghum, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten: Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things.

I was at dinner the other night with one of my college girlfriends when I asked, “is this where you thought you’d be by now?” Coming from a girl that had just locked her own keys in to her car the second time that month (shout out to AAA), I think I was asking more out of desperation than anything else. Hoping that there was someone to commiserate with my own feelings of uncertainty that’s hovered close by throughout most of my mid-twenties.

You are more than Beautiful

“i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful
before i’ve called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you’re born with
is all you have to be proud of
when you have broken mountains with your wit
from now on i will say things like
you are resilient, or you are extraordinary
not because i don’t think you’re beautiful
but because i need you to know
you are more than that” -Rupi Kaur

So this is 25

A few days ago one of my college friends posted about joining a bowling league with the hashtag #sothisis25

Since then, I’ve found myself repeating that same line to myself throughout the day, almost as a reminder that while this may not always have been where I pictured myself at 25, nevertheless here I am. And for the most part, I think I’m ok with it. #sothisis25
