Let It Be.

/

This past week has been particularly stressful. There is just so much going on that it feels hard to breathe. There is so much I need to do, but yet I just want to sleep. In times like these, I try to focus on the things that make me happy. A few of the things currently bringing a smile to my face are: looking through old photographs (my sisters and I are pictured above, I only wish I still had that swimsuit!), afternoon tea, and lindt chocolate (because it’s my favorite and completely worth the calorie intake).

This evening Ryan and I will be boarding our flight to Los Angeles. California has long been a dream of mine and I am very excited to head out west. While there, we will actually be apartment hunting, as we are (drumroll please) moving there March 1st. Ryan will be pursuing his career as a songwriter, and I will be pursuing an acting career. I’ve always been quite the dreamer and I am so excited to whole heartedly pursue my dreams. It may seem unrealistic to many, but I believe some of the best things in life stem from an unrealistic idea. 

Anyhow, I will be away and unable to blog until my return next week. Hopefully I will have a lot of great pictures to share with you. 

Live in Love,

A Casual Encounter

/

Today is a busy day of running errands and getting everything together for our LA trip. We leave tomorrow night, and I am so excited! Trying to do laundry, go to the store, get organized, etc. So this was my go-to outfit, because it is not only comfy, but I feel stronger in it. Something about these boots makes me feel infinitely tougher, like I can take on the day. And yes, it is all in my head, but I love it either way. ♥

Decor/Furniture Inspiration

Ryan and I will be moving into a new place soon, so apartment style/decor is fresh on my mind. The possibilities are endless (well, sort of). Granted, we are keeping most of our furniture, BUT we can still rearrange and go for a slightly different look, if we wish. So, with that in mind, I have been browsing some websites to look for inspiration. Just thought I’d share.

I hope you are having an inspiring week thus far.
