A LITTLE BIT OF LEOPARD

Let's start the new year with a little walk on the wild side, shall we? I do love a little bit of leopard — emphasis on little. Very few people can pull off a leopard coat, for instance, but a leopard clutch or pillow? Easy and instant chic. Below, a few picks in my favorite animal print...

P.S. Want a little leopard for less than $20? Get the look from my boutique with this or these!

OUTFIT {CLUB MONACO SWEATER}

Club Monaco hat  //  Club Monaco sweater  //  Rag & Bone jeans  //  Yosi Samra flats c/o

Say hello to one of my favorite Christmas presents... This adorable pom pom hat from Club Monaco. Thanks Reilly! I've been wearing it pretty much nonstop since I opened it on Christmas morning — I know the pom pom is a little big but it makes me so very happy! Oh and the leather detail on this sweater? Club Monaco does it again.

I'm also obsessed with these Yosi Samra flats. They're navy and black (a color combo you know I love) with the sweetest little bow — and they fold up when you're not wearing them, making them the perfect ballet flat for traveling. I'm actually in Dallas for New Year's and they were the first thing I tossed in my suitcase! 

P.S. I've received a few emails about my favorite jeans... They do run true to size but, if you're between sizes, I recommend ordering one size down as they do stretch a bit over time. I hope that helps! Happy New Year everybody!!!

GOODBYE 2013, HELLOOO 2014!

I think I say this every December but I can't help myself... What. A. Year. 

I moved to New York with my puppy, made amazing new friends, decorated my first apartment, grew my business, partnered with some really awesome bloggers and brands, traveled all over the country (Salt Lake City, Dallas, New Orleans, Denver, and Boston!), spent lots of summer weekends in Central Park and on Nantucket, and finished the year on such a high note. I also wound up crossing 79 things off my 101 in 1001 list!

Truthfully though, this year was also a bit of a bumpy road for me. I had my heart broken, experienced every possible growing pain of running a small business, struggled with hurtful comments on my blog, and was even dumped by a boy I really liked — in a text message (#notcool). I try to keep things happy and upbeat around here but it definitely hasn't been all rainbows and pretty shoes behind the scenes.

I'm really, really looking forward to a fresh start. I have a lot of exciting projects on the horizon, awesome girlfriends by my side, a new boy in my life, and the most supportive family in the entire world... So bring it on, 2014. I'm ready for you!
