Embrace Change

I've definitely said this once before but I will say it again embrace change because it is the only thing that is constant in life. Especially in a world that's so fast pace and constantly changing, why not embrace it and make the most of these things it will just make your every day more enjoyable. Recently I went through a world wind in my life not being exactly sure what I wanted to do or which direct I wanted to go in professionally. I am so happy to say I have found a position that seems like it was made for me as the Personal Stylist Coordinator back at Nordstrom. I love multi tasking and constantly have something new to take care of and face at work, which is exactly what this position has to offer. For my first day I wore this Free People dress with an Urban Renewal Lacoste grandpa sweater. With one of my favorite pair of Stuart Weitzman boots I was ready to conquer the world. Never be afraid to change for doing something better for yourself, even if you don't know how others will react sometimes you need to listen to yourself the most. 

Grateful

Well it was another great year with it's up and down's of course but there is always so much in life to be grateful for. As Thanksgiving is just two days away I was definitely reflecting on the last year and many things I am thankful for. I learned so much about myself this year and it feels amazing to be proud of myself and the successful young woman I have become. I am so grateful for the experiences and the people I have met down here in Philadelphia, it has definitely become my home. I am even more grateful for realizing which friends from high school and college are real friends who keep in touch and get the rare chance to all reunite in one place a year. My personal life and professional life are definitely things I am thankful for because I have finally found a nice balance between fun and work. Getting a life for myself and not being only focused on work made me so much happier this year and I have to say a great deal of that is do to my boyfriend. Growing up you realize how much the holidays actually matter about who you are with and not what you are getting or going to eat. Little things become so much more important and it's a beautiful thing when you start to realize this. Last but not least I am so thankful I finally turned 21 this year and can 

For Love & Lemons

Sometimes you just want to get dressed up for no reason, or at least I experience that feeling all the time. All black everything always has a way of making you feel sleek too. I am obsessed with this For Love and Lemons dress but don't get to wear it as much as I'd like because it is so fancy. But I liked how I was able to tone it down by throwing this cute LOFT sweater over top that was only $22 on sale. Matched with my Stuart Weitzman Highway boots, a staple to my winter wardrobe I love how they add sophistication to any outfit. 

Pleat Details

Well all I can say about this fall is the actual fall weather has been coming and going. I've enjoyed breaking out a few of my sweaters on these chilly days like this alpaca sweater from Peru. It is so warm and soft it is one of my favorite sweaters. I love the detail in this handmade garment, you can feel the quality of it when you wear it. Going off those details I matched it with this pleated midi skirt from Forever21 and my Frye Patty boots. My necklace is from the St. Thomas butterfly farm and is a real butterfly wing, added as my pop for the look.
