Look Up…

Have you ever looked up at the sky and stopped in your tracks? I’ll never forget when my Dad stopped the car on the side of the highway in New Hampshire and made us all get out and look up. My Dad has traveled all around the US, and he’s slept under many a starry night but this was the first time I had actually seen the stars look like that. Here in NYC, we tend to forget that there is even one star, much less millions to be seen in “cleaner” parts of the world. If I used this kind of language when I was 10, that would have been a holy sh*t moment for sure. You can’t help but think that we are but a teeny tiny speck in this universe. Really puts things into perspective, huh? We should all take a second to look up and get lost.

We’re moving TOMORROW and I can’t believe how quickly everything came together. I’m super excited for this new step in our lives and can’t wait for it to begin. I’m also pretty happy with how the living room is coming together. We don’t have the budget to buy everything under the sun (and it wouldn’t be fun if we did) so it’s great when we can score an awesome tv stand, two white and gray chevron pillows, and a black and white striped area rug at Home Goods to mix in with our gorgeous West Elm framed coffee table. It’s the little things. I hope Hoboken is ready to welcome us tomorrow, because I’m ready to be there!

It’s been a little while since I’ve done a weekly fave post so I definitely owe you guys one! Here are some of my favorite pins from this past week:

Caught Up

Lately I find myself just going through the motions of the day not really thinking about anything except work. Monday through Friday tends to be a big blur when I “wake up” on Saturday. I need to remember that weekdays count and I need to make the most of them… something that should be a no brainer. Do you do the same? I’m feeling compelled to make a change. In fact, I feel the need to make a change so much that my new motto includes explicit language (which is apparently the only way I can get motivated). So, how do you combat that five day blur?

These few things are making me happy lately. I recently pinned them on Pinterest and can’t stop going back for some words of wisdom. Pretty, aren’t they?

Embrace It

Happy Saturday! Andrew and I are taking a very last minute trip to Cape Cod this weekend. It’s a much needed getaway that’s for sure!

This quote keeps swirling through my mind today. I tend to harp on the “wrong choices” I make in life, but how will I ever know they are wrong until I see how it all ends up? So from now on there are no more wrong choices, only right ones.

And?

Tags

ampersand, and, inspiration, inspirational quotes, typography, what else, what if

You know that commercial where the guy goes through his life and keeps asking “and?” whenever something happens to him? This week has shown me that I really need to be clear and concise about what I want. It’s not always a bad thing to ask “what else” if it’s going to be what’s best for you. It got me thinking about ampersands (naturally). I’ve decided I will start adding that “and?” to my vocabulary, slowly but surely.

Sunday Inspiration

Tags

do what you love, follow through, inspiration, inspirational quotes, Sunday, typography

Happy Sunday and go Giants! I’ve been reading tweets from bloggers who made their way to Alt Summit over the weekend. There was so much inspiration coming from their feedback but what struck me the most was a statement tweeted by Liz Stanley from Say Yes To Hoboken. She said, quite simply, “stop talking about it and go do it”. It’s a statement that, in my opinion, everyone should say to themselves when they wake up in the morning. For me, that statement and this go hand in hand.

You Are Loved

inspiration, life, quote, typography, you are loved

I just couldn’t resist sharing this with you. Not only because it’s so true but because it’s the name of my favorite Josh Groban song. Don’t judge!

I can’t believe it’s already December 2nd! I’ve been in LA since Wednesday working on a few things and of course catching up with Catherine (The Life Styled) and despite the Santa Ana winds I am absolutely loving this weather. It couldn’t have been a better few days to stop in for a visit! When I’m back in New York I’ll be sure to share some pics of the trip but for now here are my favorite pins from this week. Have a great weekend!
