Happiness Is...

What makes you over the moon happy? Go ahead, grab a notepad and jot down the first ten things that come to mind that make you feel particularly good this morning!!! I promise you'll feel so much better. Then when you get home later today stick it to your fridge so you see it often. Perhaps when you're feeling not so happy...just keep it in a place you walk by constantly and hopefully it will brighten your day and make you smile :) 

And go:
A select few but the people who matter most to me
My precious baby yorkies (even if they need a kick in the butt)
'Happy' by Pharrell Williams and 'Brave' by Sara Bareilles
Trader Joe's Pomegranate Blueberry Sherbet
Not just a good book but a life changing book
Quoting movie lines when applicable to real life situations
The smell of Aerin Lauder Lilac Perfume 
Emma Stone lip-syncing, Google it!
A fresh bouquet of lavender goes a long
Kids books specifically, George Shrinks by William Joyce

Clean + Pretty





When it comes to workspace that most likely means I'm in the middle of a tornado of books surrounding me on the floor or in bed. In school, I made a rule of going to the library when it came to writing papers and studying. I was always at a desk so I had a lot of space to work  with. In an effort to get out of the bed and off the floor, I'm working towards turning my desk into a better workspace. Eventually I'd like to have an actual room dedicated to more organization and turning it into my own pretty space. What's your working situation, do you leave the house and head to the library, do you work at home in your pajamas and in bed?

Girl Walks Into A Bar

It's the end of the semester and this girl needs a night out on the town, a night where she doesn't have to think about papers, projects, exams or lectures. It's time to go out and enjoy an evening with the girls for a drink and catching up or taking your guy out for a couple beers and to watch a game. How do you decompress after school or work? Where's the local scene in your hometown? How often do you try out new bars? I don't do it enough but with more time to relax and enjoy a light load of school work this summer, I plan to change that over the next few months  :)

My Mother's Closet





My love for purses not only began at a young age but inspiration struck by sneaking into my mother's closest and playing with her purses when she wasn't looking. Whether for dress up or borrowing them for a night out on the town, my knack for searching for the perfect and most suitable purse has become a bit of a problem. The other week my mom decided she needed to do a deep cleaning of her closet...ding, ding, ding!!! And so this twenty year old Bally purse became mine, isn't she a beauty? I surely think so :)

The Sparrow

Get to know your town by taking a little 'staycation' at a local boutique hotel. Enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon by reading and catching rays by the pool, get ready for a fun night out with drinks and dinner with your favorite girlfriends and sink into a perfectly comfy bed. Take one night out of your busy schedule this season for a tranquil one night stay at a fabulous place, that gives the feeling of a home away from home.
