Hi! I missed you guys! It has been a bit, but please know I’ve been thinking of you all!
When I was thinking about what to present to you all this week, this month, even this year I was, well, sorta stumped. There are so many heavy things going on, do we need a blog to discuss new tops or the best jeans? And the more I thought about it, the more I realized, yes! Definitely yes!
The holidays just got cozier.
The holidays just became more convenient.
The holidays just became an opportunity for us to create a new memory for ourselves.
I feel like I could write this blog over and over again because I have learned so much about myself, relationships and even my own personal style while staying closer to home for the last 9 months or so. I compare it to when you turn the lights out at night. Suddenly, when you can’t see, your other senses become heightened. Take away social events, and all of a sudden you start noticing things about yourself more.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It has been probably since I was about 5 years old. Each year we would visit my grandmother in NYC and chow on delicious Puerto Rican food and the best damn turkey ever cooked. (I’m still working on that). So needless to say, hosting for my family has been a HUGE honor and something I look forward to all year.
It doesn’t get more basic than a white tee and jeans. Don’t confuse basic for boring. I’m not sure how or why that happens, maybe because often times people forget the most important part of wearing a basic look… accessories and visual interest. I remember once with a client, she was looking for a formal dress but wanted it to be ‘different’ and ‘flashy’. My advice to her was, a well fitting simple black dress is more stunning than something with 3-D adornments. What I’m saying here is that your look doesn’t have to be all flashy to be amazing.
A few weeks ago my family and I went kayaking and while we were driving, it occurred to me that I really like farms. I know, not your typical first line from me, but hear me out. We drove about 45 minutes to a kayaking spot. The drive is peppered with farms and beautiful homes set back on large pastures. This may not sound like much or out of the ordinary to you, this gal grew up in Upstate New York in a modest home, in a neighborhood where all of my neighbors were visible followed by a short stint in NYC. No farms there.
