Wednesday Note to Self


“The next time you face a room full of strangers . . . you might tell yourself that some of them are just friends waiting to be found.” ― Lisa Kleypas, It Happened One Autumn

Heading to NY Wishlist

Heading back to NY was at the top of my mind for days before I flew up North for Easter. I had anxiety about flying, the possibility of being homesick, and having to start the process of going through all of the boxes from my apartment. As the time to pack approached I realized everything I needed was already in NY, but I still needed a plane outfit, some entertainment, and maybe an accessory or two to get me through the long weekend. Below are a few things I wish I had on hand and just may need to purchase for those last minute quick trips up North. 

Black Molly Moorkamp Daphne Sweater



Ann Mashburn Khaki Twill Pants


Lycette Needlepoint Canvas


Alice Walk Cashmere Wrap

Own Your Past, Change Your Future by Dr. John Delony


Already ready for my next trip!

Pretty Pins for Staying Focused

Living with my parents again has had it's highs and lows. On one hand, I've made major strides when it comes to my financial goals but at the same time I feel like I've been on a major spending spree. Once I hit my 6 month emergency fund goal I decided to up my 401k contribution and then kind of stopped following a budget. This month I'm focusing on Baby Step 3B (down payment for a mortgage) and getting back on track. I'm realizing that if I ever want to move out of my parents home and BUY a house (not rent!) then I need to buckle down for a few more months to a year and save every penny I can. Below are a few pins inspiring me to stay focused and to keep my eye on the prize. 






Ready to start the week off strong.
