Technicolor Dream Coat

I am without a doubt a summertime person. I live for 90+ degree weather when the sun is shinning. Despite my love for hot days, I can't deny my relief when the days begin to cool down and I'm able to pull out my crazy sweater collection. When the weather gets cold, it's rare that you catch me without a big cozy mass of yarn on my body. 

I finally received this masterpiece in the mail the other day. Every year I try to limit the amount of sweaters I trickle into my closet. I mean how often are you going to wear all of them? As soon as I saw it in Free People's September catalogue, I knew that I just had to have it.

It is pieces like this that remind me why I fell in love with Free People in the first place. The cardigan itself is simple in its design, but the colors and yarns used are so unique! Also the material is so soft and cozy I almost fell asleep on my bus ride to class. Opps. 

Stay warm everyone! 

Rainy Daydream

We're all familiar with that feeling. You open one sleepy eye and hear it - the drip, drip (or sometimes the tap dance) of raindrops. You already know before you even leave your bed, that all you're going to want to do today is close your eyes again and go back to sleep. For me, today was one of those days.

I've felt a bit overextended lately. September has been a very busy month for me, with moving and school starting things have been a little less than relaxing for me. I have been working a lot and on top of that I have had a lot of school work. It has been hard to find some "breathe" time. 

Today I woke up and knew that I was going to need a mental health day. I skipped my first class and decided to use that extra time to run a few errands and catch up on some work. It would have been nice to be able to curl up in my bed with Netflix and a big cup of tea, but we'll see the day isn't over yet.

Flat-Lay Life

Sweater, socks, shoes, and belt all by Free People.

All I need for fall.

Running the Instagram at work, flat-lays have become a big part of my life. Lately I've found that I've been doing it in my everyday life as well. There's just something about laying out my clothes for the day, seeing how the colors play off of each other, that makes me a bit giddy inside.

Crystals & Candles

Here's a little peek at my little window shrine. 

This weekend was wonderful - the perfect balance of work and fun. I'm hoping that my weekends will always be like this. 

Sanctuary

In Christianity, Judaism, and many other religions, a sanctuary refers a space within a place of worship that is sacred or holy. In this place, one is thought to be closest to god. For me, sanctuary means a place where I can just be; a place where my soul can thrive; where I can be closest to the things that mean the most to me. 

Here is a little peek at my sanctuary.

The quality of light is just amazing in this place. In the morning and throughout the day our rooms are drenched with light. It makes waking up a little easier in the morning. 

It is about day 10 of apartment life and Jacky and I have been adjusting quite well - we're becoming comfortable with our new commutes, who takes a shower when, typical roomie stuff. It feels great to have a space to call our own.

Y'all should come by for a visit…as soon as we get a kitchen table.

Shoutout to Lexii Morton for painting my bureau for me :)

More to come!
