I received some awful news today and I am experiencing a funny shift in priorities because of it. Death is a funny thing, striking those you least expect when you least expect it. It makes you pause for a moment and re-evaluate your surroundings. So I am glad for the coming long weekend and for spending some quality time with friends and family. Take a moment this weekend and look around you. You are loved, I promise, and that is more important than all the little things that cause us stress every day. I will back on Monday. xoxo

We all know that fashion is endlessly cyclic but that doesn’t stop me from being occasionally surprised by what comes back up the pipe. For example: overalls. Fortunately, this time around they look a little different than their 90s predecessors. The legs are narrower and the overall fit is quite slim, making for a much more flattering shape (especially in the back – hello!). The bib also has a slimmer feel with narrower straps, lower cut and not as many pockets. The washes come in a full array of colors so take your pick of light, dark or anywhere in between. They are what the cute girls about town are already wearing.

Confession time. This weekend I thrifted a glass bowl with the intention of creating a terrarium. I guess that combined with my new-found love of making pickles tips me right on over into the hipster zone. Whatever though. I am far from a green thumb but I am looking forward to my new little project. It will have to wait until next weekend though so in the mean time I am looking at theses ones online and getting inspired.
