Pretty Pins for a Heavy Heart

With all that has been going on in the world, especially Ukraine, I've been going to bed with a heavy heart each night. Watching the bravery and tenacity of the people of Ukraine has been inspiring to say the least. I've been reminded time and time again of how lucky I am. As we enter a third year of major uncertainty I've found it so important to be able to keep family and friends close, Be thankful for everything I have, and to keep a level head. I have a feeling the next few months are going to be rocky, but all I can do is keep calm and plan as best I can. Below are a few pins to remind me of how lucky I am, but to also stay focused and to control what I can. 






Praying for peace,

Palm Beach Wishlist

I finished 2021 with what felt like a wild shopping spree to celebrate completing Baby Step 3  when in reality it was just a little pick me up after a sad Christmas. I've been really good about sticking to my budget but as I settle into life in Palm Beach I'm realizing my NY wardrobe is not going to cut it down here. Don't worry, I'm not donating my fab furs, chic leather pants, and turtle necks just yet but they are staying where they belong - in NY! I'm slowing adding a few colorful looks into the neutral mix I gravitate towards. Below are a few things I have my eye on for my current Palm Beach status. 

Green Fringe Caftan Dress

Aquazzura Bow Slingbacks


Julia Amory Dress 

GAS Bijoux Hoops

Posse Mini Dress


Happy Almost Friday!

Pretty Pins for Looking on the Bright Side

Has it really been just three and a half months since I left NY? For someone who had her whole life uprooted in the span of a month, I'm feeling surprisingly okay. Admittedly, adjusting to living with my parent's part time has been a challenge, but I'm so lucky to have a place to stay while the dust settles and I figure out my next steps. I definitely have my "am I crazy for doing this" moments but have been really good about staying optimistic and open-minded, which is not my natural inclination. It's very strange to start over and to not be able to fully do my own thing, like I have been for the past decade, but it's all about going with the flow at this point and getting through the next few months. Luckily I have a strong group of friends and family supporting me so it's easy to think positive! Below are a few pins reminding me to enjoy life and to keep looking on the bright side.  






Anyone have tips on making friends as an adult?
