“I believe in pink, I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”

Happy Monday everyone. Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Here are some highlights of mine…
*Friday night dinner at Circa in Dupont Circle (quickly becoming one of my fav spots in DC). One of my best friends was visiting from Boston and I got to meet her adorable beau!)
*Sleeping WAY IN on Saturday…sometimes a girl just needs some quality shut eye (love Kimberly Wilson’s concept of bed days, MUST start building more of these into my schedule!)
*Afternoon drinks overlooking the water at Sequoia on Saturday afternoon. Lovely to spend some quality time with the BF 🙂
*Going out in Georgetown on Saturday night. Fun fun fun.
*Wandering around the luscious Botanical Gardens with my Mumsy Sunday afternoon in celebration of Mothers Day. Then decadent dinner and drinks at The W (beautiful view and divine weather).
*Watching the season finale of The Vampire Diaries (OMG SO GOOD CAN’T EVEN STAND IT!!)
*Lighting lavender incense and perusing beautiful blogs in bed on Sunday evening.
All in all, a pretty fab weekend, oui? I’d love to hear what made your weekend magical!
Peace, love, and hair whips,

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose & imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”

Ahhh I love this quote!! What are your craziest and wildest dreams? If you could take a year off and have NO TIME OR MONETARY CONSTRAINTS, what would you ABSOLUTELY LOVE to do? Here’s my list so far…
*Own a beautiful seaside abode decorated to the nines with exposed brick, massive windows, chandeliers, scented candles, raspberry walls, fireplaces, and plenty of splashes of fuchsia, leopard print (where I would host lot’s of fabulous soirees…)
*Dance in a hip-hop music video or as a backup dancer in a major rap/pop concert
*Have lunch with Oprah
*Take a photography safari through Greece and Turkey with Le Boyfriend
*Become super involved in an organization that provides micro loans to victims of abuse and sex trafficking across the globe. Half The Sky is so compelling and inspiring, though difficult to read. Highly recommend it. I’ve already begun researching these types of organizations, Kiva and Grameen America are fantastic!
*Get certified as a yoga instructor at Tranquil Space (cutest DC yoga studio I’ve ever been to, check it out!) and then teach yoga for six months on the beaches of Costa Rica
*Publish a best selling novel and have this blog become a booming success
*Appear on the cover of a major fashion magazine with my sister and best friend 🙂 (love ya Lindssss)
*Sit front row with all my girlfriends at the major shows during New York, Paris, and Milan fashion weeks
*Guest star on an episode of The Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl
*Meet and become friends with all my favorite bloggers
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
Peace, love, and hair whips,

“I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise. I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which comes to me as a seed goes to the next as a blossom. And that which comes to me as a blossom, goes on as fruit.”
