Seeing Red: Valentine's Day Inspired

I love Love. Yeah, I said it! And I’m not talking only about mushy-mushy, romantic, The Notebook type of love. I mean all of it. The love between you and your parents, your gal-pals, your furry friends, and your lover. I’m talking about the love you have for your passions in life. Whatever makes you happy: food, fun, anything and everything that makes us smile and enjoy life to the max.

I roll my eyes when Valentine’s Day is propped up as ‘Singles Awareness Day‘ because it points out the lack of love in your life, when it’s only a portion. It’s discounting the fact that love exists in so many other areas and makes people feel bad about what’s missing. I say F that. Take this day (and everyday, really) to be grateful and show the people you love how much you love them. Whether it’s a batch of group texts to your nearest to dearest to sending your mama her favorite flowers– we’ve all got love in our lives. Just show it and embrace it.


Happy Valentine’s Day!

Look of the Day: Leopard and Lime

Once again, I took a nice little stroll to my neighborhood botanical garden near Lake Merritt. All year long, beautiful blooms and bushes sprout about and fill the air with refreshing fragrances. With winding trails and secret mini gardens, it’s pretty easy to get lost…in a good way!
Obviously, I wasn’t ready to get down and dirty to start digging and planting in this getup: black Else denim, Gap lime green infinity scarf, Old Navy tank, Style&co booties, and t/o black and silver leopard cardigan.
