It's been such a busy week.
Sometimes, I just need a little reminder to slow down and be thankful for what's going right, instead of complaining about what's not.

Today, I'm stepping away from all the motions and saying thank you for. . .


Waking up this morning
Having a coworker bring homemade biscuits for breakfast
The rain that is sure to come
A colorful scarf to brighten the rainy day
A long talk with my mom on the drive to work
Hearing I love you everyday from someone who makes my heart nearly burst

We can all use a little reminder sometimes.

Make today the day you start taking your own advice- you know, that advice you're always giving other people and never actually believing in yourself?

Happy Monday, friends!

Fall Fashion, No. 1

(Images via 1, 2)


***

As we're all following along with the spring fashion shows in New York, fall trends are just starting to pop up in our favorite stores, magazines, and blogs. For me, fall is kind of a strange season- sometimes it can be quite difficult to find the right combination of layers to last through the day. Regardless of the frustrations we face, there's no denying that fall fashions truly are fun. For some reason, I always get far more excited about pulling out my sweater dresses, tights, and boots than the barely-there pieces for spring and summer. The next few weeks I'm going to be sharing curated lists of some of my favorite fall trends- just to get us all in the spirit! My first in the series features sparkling sequins, dainty details, and one of my favorite prints- polka dots!

Breakfast at Tiffany's

After seeing this gorgeous post by Jamie, I couldn't resist being inspired to pull together my own Breakfast at Tiffany's. It seems that the very mention of the famous Audrey Hepburn film brings ladies everywhere into near squeals of delight. The LBD, the tiara, the romance, the sunglasses, New York City- it's enough to send any hopeless romantic into a daydream. The glitz and the glamour of Breakfast at Tiffany's has always inspired me to add classic pieces to my wardrobe, throw on some sparkle when I'm feeling a little blue, and embrace the little things that make life so sweet.

Today is the day so many of us glitter girls have been waiting for! The Glitter Guide, the brain child of the gorgeous Taylor Sterling, is officially launching! Please raise your glass if you're as giddy as me! Their tagline, 'flashes of delight,' is simply perfect for this sparkly lifestyle resource to all things fashion, food, fitness, and design. Taylor has given us sneak peeks along the way that have partially held us over, little bits featuring colorful shoes, sparkly baubles, bubbly champagne, and sweet macarons. I am thrilled, though, that the wait is over!

Cheers and happy Glitter Guide launch day to all the lovely ladies behind this spectacular project!

Sparkle and Shine

Hello, everyone! Welcome back from the long weekend!

For me, the last few days consisted of planting flowers and sprucing up the outside of my house, shopping around for a few things for the inside of the house (will share pictures very soon), and spending some much-needed time with my family. All in all, it was the most perfect holiday weekend one could ask for.

I was inspired by the sparkly nature of the photos above for today's post. One of my favorite recent finds is Society Social, created by Roxy of My Cup of Te. The SS motto, "live sparkly," inspired me to snap a few photos of some favorite sparklies in my own life.

Enjoy!
