You will succeed.
Pep Talk: I love you! There’s no way you can fail. You’re so prepared for life that, frankly, life is a little intimidated by you. And rightly so. You’re about to kick it’s ass.
Today remind yourself: I will succeed.
(I am so sorry, I don’t remember where I got this from)
I think it’s rather obvious that I have been MIA lately…
But we won’t dwell on the reasons behind my absence, let’s look at my plans for the future instead!
This weekend I am flying down to Savannah, Ga to speak at my alma mater! I am going to be talking about my career and the fashion industry, and how I got to where I am today. I am so honored to be asked to share my undergraduate experience with current and potential students…. I honestly CANNOT wait!
Savannah is my second home, my second family. My favorite people and some of the BEST friends I have ever had live there. It’s my happy place.
It’s going to be a short weekend, with not much personal time. However, I do plan to take pictures and blog about as much as I can.
The above picture is of Tybee Island… currently famous for it’s role in the new Miley Cyrus movie.
Tybee is my happy place… my favorite place in the world. I would live there if I could manage to make a living as a beach bum in southern Georgia.
Sorry if this rant is boring you, but if you can’t tell… I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS WEEKEND!
Whats your happy place?

This weekend was full of gloomy, rainy weather. In fact, I spent most of the weekend at home alone catching up on some much needed sleep and cleaning the apartment…. oh, and dealing with a leaking roof (thank you rain).
I did manage to get out of the house for a little bit on Sunday for brunch with a dear friend, and to get a few errands done.
Anyways, the point here is that I did not take any outfit photos. So here is an outfit from last week (Thursday, I think) that I haven’t yet posted.
As you can see, it’s bright and sunny. I am happy, and embracing the good vibes of the day.
It’s good to look back on the sunny days and remember that happy feeling when you’re having a sort of “down” or rainy day. It makes the gloominess pass a little faster.
I hope you all had wonderful weekends despite the weather!

“Once I introduced a friend of mine as ‘Martini’.
Her name was actually ‘Olive’.”

Her name was actually ‘Olive’.”
This rainy weekend provided me with the perfect excuse to stay home and pamper myself.
In the midst of laundry, tidying up, and cleaning out my makeup bag (how often do you clean your makeup brushes?) I made some time to sip on one of my favorite cocktails… a pomegranate martini.
Pictured above is such a concoction I made for myself on Saturday night… orange twist an all. Everyone needs a special cocktail every now and then, and this one is so simple… so here is how to make your own!
Ingredients: Vodka, Tripple Sec, 100% pomegranate juice
Combine 1 part vodka, 1 part tripple sec, and two parts juice in a cocktail shaker with ice.
Shake and serve.
Top with garnish and relax!

Today should go down in the history books as one of the best days ever. I don’t know if it is the change in weather that is improving my attitude and outlook… I can only describe this feeling as feeling comfortable with all of the changes happening in my life.
I had a very successful coffee date with a brilliant and inspirational mentor. I stood my ground at work. Good news was flowing in from all angles. I dont know how to truly explain… it was just an amazing day.
I started out the day by trying to “dress up” a bit and look a little more professional. I started with my new drapey blazer (thank you mom!)… you can’t truly see in this picture how amazing it is, but don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll be wearing it a lot this season.
I layered over one of the basic v-neck shirt-dresses we make at work, rolled up my jeans in a celebration of warm weather, and topped it all off with a pop of my “Janice” shoes (as Jake likes to call them). These leopard print wedges are also a gift from mom!
This combo seams to be the perfect combination of layers, textures, and color for this time between the really cold winter and the really hot summer… I think I’ll be working with this formula a lot.
