Flower Power

The flowers are in bloom. Spring is in the air. New York is ready for a change of season. 

Our first warm day of the new year hit, and I'm pretty sure everyone made it to Central Park. The Frans and I headed out for a lounge in the sun and some over due blog picture taking. When people gather in Central Park it makes the city seem small. I always run into people I know or have not seen in awhile. It is a great place to catch up with old and new friends.

The trees in Central Park have a few weeks of incredible bloom before they turn into lush green for the Summer. It is breathtaking to witness.

I love a Romper. This cotton number from ASOS can be worn casual or dressed up. Do not be intimidated! Rompers are super easy to wear and perfect for those almost summer days. You can simply slip on a light jacket to take you into night. Heals, flats or sandals...it is up to your mood. 

I'm also super excited about my new hair products from Oscar Blandi. For this lazy Saturday curly look, I gave it some poof with their Dry Texture & Volume Spray and Dry Teasing Dust.

Be Brave.

Be Brave. Words that I try to live by. What does it mean to live a "brave" life? I often think about this. Does it mean taking risks, trying new things? Or does it mean forgiving when it is hard to, putting others before yourself, including the left out, choosing love. I want to live a full and brave life whatever that looks like. Each day brings a new set of obstacles and how they are overcome takes different levels of bravery. 

This awesome tee is a great reminder to "Be Brave", it is compliments of the Colour Sisterhood. Colour Conference is happening all over the world the next month. This incredible woman's conference already took place in Australia and is now headed to Europe. What I can't wait for is 2016, when Colour Conference comes to NYC!

Love Wall & Sequins

Sometimes the simple things in life bring the most joy. In a city like New York where black, grey and white concrete rule, a pop of color is a welcome sight. Because I always enjoy sequin and a pop of color, this "Love Wall" backdrop was the perfect location to showcase this outfit. 

When life gets tough, I try to put things in perspective. First, I pray. Second, I take a deep breath. Third, I do something that I enjoy. The details of life that bring me joy always outweigh those things that pull me down. My mom continually challenges me to see that there is something to be grateful for, no matter how hard it might seem. 

So for this brief moment...smile, love and sparkle.
