Charming Crush & The Silence


Late summer showers & shorter evenings mean fall is on
the way & change is everywhere! New beginnings are
exciting, thrilling, fabulous & sometimes scary. Embracing change with
utmost gusto has proven to be a bit more hectic than I imagined. SO, what a lovely
distraction, last week, to spend time enjoying the scenery & sharing moments with famed chic
photographer, Synda Rorex. Check out pix from
The Vintage Fashion Shoot here: http://www.syndarorexphotography.com/blog

Packing up all my belongings & narrowing my life down
to a few boxes & suitcases has been quite a challenge over the
past few weeks. However, I always find that lightening the load &
passing along a few treasures has great reward. Ahhhh & moving to a new
zip code? It feels like NYC Yes Please.

Taking in the beautiful moments of friendship & love.
Being moved by silent inspiration. It's everywhere I turn...

Sweet Vicious & The CRUSH


As July flies by at ridiculous speeds I am behind in my blog posts & updates.
I guess I've been a bit too busy being inspired by summer nights, fireflies, lemon iced teas, bands on sidewalk bricks & boys & girls in berets for Bastille Day. My crush-o-meter is in full swing &
I'm lovingly lost in the details....


Twirling floral dresses, high heels on hot pavement...
Life looks better when dancing in the streets

stellar madness of Iona.

Dear Audrey Tatou,
Thank you for being an amazingly talented actress. Your portrayal of
Coco Chanel reminded me that goals are attainable for everyone brave
enough to ignore negativity & strong enough to plunge head first into
the hard work known as "dreams".
Love,
