Life on a Rock
June 3, 2013I love the look of an all printed outfit, using a different print on bottom and on top. At first, I admit, it can be intimidating, but when done right it can look playful and unique. my philosophy is this; “Just act like you own a goldmine, and you’re in the club.” (Molly Brown to Jack Dawson in Titanic). The easiest way to mix a print is to go for something that’s striped (stripes can go with just about anything) and then for your next print go with something in the same colour family like these pants with blue undertones. For your first time don’t try anything crazy, keep the look simple and Top it off with a jean jacket, some aviators and a pop of colour with your bag or lipstick. You are now mixing prints like a pro!
What I’m wearing: Top; Dex, Pants; H&M, Jacket; Gap, Sandals; Mossimo at Target, Bag; Rebecca Minkoff, Jewels; Vintage and Tiffany & Co. Sunglasses; Ray-Ban
Highs and Lows
May 31, 2013Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a
This week was one of those weeks that feels like it’s never going to end, giving me more than I wanted take. But by Thursday, things began to look up. I woke up finding myself feeling more refreshed, even doing my hair for the first time in a week (don’t judge). I began to stay more focused on what I can do rather than what is not possible and it paid off. By mid thursday I felt like I was back to myself and feeling more positive and energetic. My weekend now feels open for plans with girlfriends and a Sunday trip to Mahone Bay.
This view is the best thing to come home to after a week that drags on. The sight, the sound, the ocean breeze. I feel lucky to be able to look out at it every day.
Another reason Thursday perked up; My boyfriend suprised me with flowers when he picked me up after work. And although I don’t have a picture of this moment, my mom also surprised me on Thursday afternoon and we had lovely lunch together..
Lows to note:
-As previously mentioned: an exceptionally long week
-Weather that has been so gloomily lately. BUT the sun has started to come out just in time for the weekend!
-Family arguments
