Honey Put On That Party Dress

    Anybody that knows me knows that I have a slight obsession with tutus.  This tutu dress by Madison & Berkley is one of my new favorites! It's so versatile! During the day I rocked it with a pair of leggings underneath, a denim jacket, a pair of Jeffrey Campbells, and a statement necklace. (It's not pictured...sorry...swear it was cute...future post??) For a nighttime date look, I swapped the leggings with a sleek Jewel Toned shapewear piece to create a layered "mini dress" look. I added my Luv AJ "Deadhead" belt, some earrings and some strappy heels and I was ready to go!

Trusting the Universe

Often times in life we feel the need to have complete control over things.  When we are attached to a desired outcome, and that doesn't happen quickly enough or at all, we set ourselves up for disappointment and unhappiness.  It's much more liberating to just trust in the Universe, and let go, and just live your life day to day.  You never know what is in store for you,  if you just allow it...

These Booties Were Made For Walkin'

Lately when I've been feeling overwhelmed or if my energy is all over the place, I make myself go for a walk.  I'll hike Runyon, or walk along the beach, or heck, even just walk around my neighborhood.  Being outside just helps lift my mood and grounds my energy. 

 This backpack by Pamela V. is perfect to take along for walks, and it's fringey! 

These booties by Matisse are FINALLY mine and they are so perfect to walk around the city.  They are so comfortable and stylish!

  "And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?"
