into the mist


Just a little snippet of home…a few days the sun came out to play, but mostly it was sort of overcast and moody the type of weather that you sometimes love and sometimes hate.  You love it when you're snuggled up next to your lover on the couch with a blanket and a fire, but its not so ideal during the busy hum of mid-day.  

This was one of those afternoons captured--misty and frosted.  There was something sort of cozy and romantic about the overcast skies that day, especially rocking one of my all time favorite seasonal dresses.  It is only the most ingenious invention ever--a flannel, plaid maxi dress--from, believe it or not, Lucky brand.  It's as functionally warm as it is eye catching.  I had to top it all off with my staple vintage jacket and hat of the moment.  These two things on top of any outfit I own is like my uniform-- throw in some braids and I'm set for life. 

P.S.  I miss living in the middle of giant fields…till next time Texas.

2014




Life is pretty forgiving, so much so that every year we get a chance to start over around this time of year.  There's something about taking the time to think about both your accomplishments and shortcomings from the previous year and setting new goals, there's so much hope and excitement...I always feel like anything could happen when I think about a new year and all the possibilities. 

Spending time at home with loved ones for the holidays and having time to think away from work, stress, and responsibility really helped me realize what I truly want from 2014.  I'm going to get really cliche and say that life is too short to spend it away from those you love.  Sometimes we get caught up in working, or school, or trying to be successful at whatever we do...making sacrifices along the way until we get caught up in life's hustle.  When we take a step back we realize that life needs more balance. Here's to 2014, living a balanced life, and spending more time with loved ones...

blowin' in the wind








2014 is here and already Im dreaming of spring and warmer days.  Every part of me is programmed for warmer weather so I'm not sure how I'm going to survive the next few months, especially with miniature blizzards happening every other week here on the east coast.

I found this old post from late summer in my drafts and thought it was a pretty perfect first post of 2014.  It's everything I want in this new year, good times with good friends, sunshine, more nature, adventures, the only things that's missing is my boy.
