I usually go into a new year not thinking about all of the things I'm going to miss, but looking forward to everything that I'm going to gain! It's very exciting. A new year is an empty page in your book!

Each year arrives with new opportunities, places, plans, life changes, adventures and friends... You never know who's going to cross your path! So as I step into 2014 I'm thankful for all the loved ones I already have, and all the people I'm going to meet in the near future.

Here are two gorgeous Bostonians, one that's a new friend and one that I've clearly known forever, that I'm so happy to have in my life! We had tons of fun styling and shooting together. I love them both!
Aren't they beautiful? Line up, gents. What is your favorite thing about moving into a new year?

Looking Forward.

Happy hump day, readers. To all my college friends preparing for exams, good luck! I know you are going to do great. Never wish college away, it ends in a blink!
 Anywho, I hope you all are doing fabulously. It's almost the weekend, hooray! Here are some things that brightened my day today...

-This morning my older sister was having a sleepy work day so before I went out and started running my errands I brought her some coffee. It was around 10 a.m. when I walked into the Starbucks nearest my house and as soon as I crossed the threshold I immediately started smiling. There is something so electric and fun about a busy coffee shop, regardless if it's local or chain. Business men dressed in suits and ties, stay at home moms discussing holiday parties and gym schedules, Christmas music over the loud speakers and the smell of lattes in the air. Ah, it is a glorious combination! No matter the city, no matter the day, I will always love that.

-Even when you are just sitting around by yourself, sometimes there is nothing better than a good hair day. I had to document this "no bang" look I had going earlier! What do you think? I hate my bangs one minute and love them the next!
-I have always wanted to pay it forward in a drive-thru line. I know that this is a popular thing to do, and lately I've been wanting to try it! Today I woke up knowing I wanted to treat somebody else to something as simple as a little pick-me-up. I went out of my way to go to a Starbucks drive-thru (even though I was only ordering a water) just so I could purchase some coffee for the person behind me. I loved it! So to the random lady driving the black Infiniti, I hope you enjoyed your banana bread and soy chai latte! You deserve it!
What made your Wednesday special?

Merry & Bright

When I was little my family used to go pick out a real Christmas tree together every year. We would all pile into the car, make our way to the tree lot, and search until we found the right one. My parents always had the final say, but it was the tradition and festivity that we loved most! The smell of the fresh pine, the cool air that made your cheeks rosy and flushed, and the adventure of finding the star of the show was just so exciting to us.

As all the kids grew older and the mystery of the holiday faded just a little bit,  my parents decided to get a fake tree for our home. Looking at it from an adult perspective, I can definitely see how it is easier and much more practical. I really don't mind our fake tree! It is just as beautiful, just as magical, and just as fun as a regular tree... but I know that once I get my own house I will fall back to the real ones! I want to start the same tradition with my children that I enjoyed when I was young. I still get excited when I see a parking lot filling up with twinkle lights and trees of all different shapes and sizes, like I saw today! The holidays are upon us, and I'm soaking up every little minute of it!

One trend that is super hot for fall 2013 is black and white, and with my new job at Kate Spade it seems as if every single item I've been drawn to lately has fallen victim to this new fad!
The thing that I love most about this trend is how versatile it is. You can mix this newspaper palette with caramel browns, army greens, hot pinks, vibrant reds, burnt oranges, Tiffany blues... pretty much any color you already have in your closet. Walk into Forever 21 or Madewell in the next few weeks and I can promise you that the walls will be decked out in black and white. That's what the style is this season, ladies! Embrace this salt and pepper chicness, and stock up your wardrobe.

Here are some fun black and white pieces I've purchased, or been given as birthday presents, in the last couple weeks...

Alyssa of Alyssa and Amy from East Coast Clad knows exactly how to combine summer chicness with the black and white trend for fall 2013! Love this look.
Amy of Alyssa and Amy from East Coast Clad had the amazing idea of pairing neon hot pink lips with B&W. You can bet I'm going to try this look ASAP! Adorable.
