Wallpaper Magazine fun!

So, I finally gave in and created my own cover for the August issue of Wallpaper magazine!  And by gave in, I should clarify... I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out exactly what I wanted.   I had so much fun and can't wait for it to arrive!  Here's the result:


So you may find it to be a bit cheesy (or maybe you like it too).  Many little girls, myself included, spend a lot of childhood talking about the perfect man, the perfect family, and the perfect career.  Anyone who knows me well also knows I don't especially love such a traditional idea of life.  Most ladies, myself included again, know that the fairy tale just isn't so and completely for the better!  Happily ever after isn't just for princesses and handsomely toads.  These days, we're all creating our own version of happily ever after.

Well, I've been a little crazed lately thinking about the future and what it means to me (you know, making sure I'm living up to expectations).  I tend to get very caught up in making sure I'm achieving and always progressing forward.  I've always had all these plans for exactly how life should be for me...  haha, and as life teaches most, it has taught me plans may be fun to dream up but rarely do plans make it all the way.  Ups and downs, twists and turns are everywhere.  And that's completely ok. I suppose it is what also keeps things exciting.   So indulge me if you will... and here's to happily ever after!!  

(I think this magazine may lay on my coffee table permanently as a daily reminder that any sort of future can be my happily ever after...)

aaanndd... We're Back!

So life has been moving at a much faster pace these days and my blogging has fallen behind.. and I deeply miss it.  So here's to spring showing up in Boston (hopefully) and me back to sharing things I love.  First up for today, a video directed by Alex Profit entitled Around the World in 2000 Pictures.  It's phenomenal!  If you're itching for an adventure, this just might hold you over until you have the time to actually get away.  Enjoy!

Interesting...

I really like this video and how he explains his view of the New York Apartment House.  Not to mention the man is brillant!
