Friday :: Memories

I am that cheesy sentimental person who always likes to remind my friends, “We are making memories,” even if we are doing something as mundane as going to the movies or grabbing lunch. I love the idea of looking back in a few months or years and remembering the moment. My bestie came home from class the other day and said she heard something that really resonated with her…
so I wanted to share; “It is often difficult to remember general years or ages in your life, instead we tend to anchor our memories to moments or to experiences that bring us back to those years or times .”
This really hit me the other day when I was talking to zee fiancé and we were going over our bucket list of everything we wanted to do before kids and then in general (yes, we created one. I told you I was cheesy sentimental). He said something, that I am now forgetting, but I remember telling him, “It isn’t about just crossing the name off the list it is more about sharing the experience and making memories together.” I can tell you moments that stick out in my mind as if they happened yesterday but I will never be able to go back and pin point the exact date. So with all of this being said, I am going to make an effort to get my behind off the couch this weekend and go make a memory, even if it means I am only going to Sunday brunch 🙂

Had a busy week and missed M.A.S.? Not to worry I got you covered ::

I fell head over heels in love with this blog
This towel has me feeling the warmth of summer while making me want to stand up and sing “God Bless America.”

THE, SOFIE LYDDON

Have you ever met someone and immediately felt humbled by their talent? I felt that way when I met up-and-coming designer, Sofie Lyddon (website under construction). She is effortlessly cool and has more design talent in one finger than I could hope to have in my entire body. When you see her designs they make you stop, stare, then have you wishing you were wearing them. 

Knowing her talents I commissioned her to design a top for me. She sent pictures of the progress along the way but nothing prepared me for how beautiful it was in person. The detailed design, color, and movement of the fabric was different than anything I had seen before. She captured everything I could want in a piece and did it without me having to say a word. I CAN NOT wait to wear this one-of-a-kind on my blog!  
Also, the back is one of my favorite parts about this top but I am saving that for next time (stay tuned). In the mean time, keep her on your radar! 

Also, I have the winner of the Maddy Nash clutch! CONGRATULATIONS Jessica Sweatt! I will be e-mailing you shortly 🙂 

LASTLY, Check out the things that make me happy on Brighton The Day! Love this series!!! 

WANT :: NEED :: MUST HAVE

If white diamonds are my “best friend,” black diamonds are my lover!  Their darkness brings out a mystery, and I love mystery. When I came across this tiny black diamond eternity band I knew I had to have it. Growing up I was always the loud kid who said whatever came to mind. This filter, or lack there of, has never been conducive to the “I am quiet and mysterious” vibe. So since I will never be “quiet and mysterious,” I will let my ring 🙂
