What and Where

Have I mentioned how hard it is to be in-demand these days? I kid.

Okay, maybe just a little bit.

No, no worries, we haven't gone all Hollywood on you (yet) but we have been very, very busy lately. I've got so many things to share with you that I honestly don't know where to begin! 




There are also a number of very exciting projects in the horizon that it's been overwhelmingly hard to prioritize which ones to do first. Isn't it kinda funny that we chase after something we always want to do, always want to achieve and then we actually get there - we stop and pause for awhile...


The infamous fashion blogger style to tie a belt.

I tried not using my MK watch ALL THE TIME...
But I can't.


We stop and we ponder the next steps. If we hustle hard, we might actually achieve all that we have dreamed of... and maybe more. But then fear sets in.

At least for me, it does.

I ask myself, Oh My Goodness, what have I gotten myself into? Can I actually do this?
What if I can't actually do this?



And then you gently smack yourself silly and you say -

Just go ahead...

Let go and FLY!



“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

- Marianne Williamson



A blazer is a career girl's best friend... but you already know that!

This outfit is the height of summer chic, ML. The floral print on your blouse is just gorgeous, and I love the detailing on the sleeves. And those strappy shoes add the perfect kick to punch up this outfit. Love the look!
