Back from the Holidays.

Hello Twentysomethings!


I apologize for my minor lapse in posting. I took a much needed, last minute vacation and now I'm back. How were all your holidays?


HAPPY NEW YEAR by the way! I wish you all the best this year.


Reality is starting to sink in, which is a good and bad thing. 


On a positive note, I made some amazing holiday purchases. Nothing major, but I adore all of the purchases! What do you think?

Think they're good buys?

What I bought:

1. Essie nail polish in Smokin' Hot ($7)
2. BCBG Filigree Joint Ring ($78)
3. Freepeople Dress ($78) - I bought it in black!
4. JCrew Chain Link Cuff ($68)
5. Marc by Marc Jacobs patterned tote ($178)
6. Prada riding boots ($792)
7. Rachel Roy blouse ($79)

Did you guys made any good holiday purchases?


KIU,


Twentysomething

from the depths of your experience

life is bitter sweet - a beautiful struggle... and it seems to be intensified by the holidays... i have been musing upon this, needing to put my hands on these words to fully embrace both sides... cutting antique paper that has been touched by others... finding the balance... 


it is our humanity that is universal - we share these things... one year may be filled with more of one than the other, but it evens out over time... for one, for all... 


so if it is more of a struggle year for you, a wish to find some of the beauty is being sent your way - it is there, just stay open...

the challenge of the season...

is not in finding the perfect gift, but rather in finding balance...


please know that i too am struggling with this - so it is not being spoken in a preachy manner...  and as with all things it is how you approach it that matters... 

'to many people holidays are not voyages of discovery, 

but a ritual of reassurance.'
