Meet me at the MET

Imagine a place where socialites dress in outrageous, stunning avant garde confections.  They join to discuss, admire, and sponsor their favorites, and no, I am not talking about the Capital citizens of the Hunger Games, I'm talking about the style icons who showcased the latest and most outrageous designer creations at the 2013 MET Gala.  Most notably this year, edgy styles graced the crimson clad stairs- including a new "shaved" braid worn by both Cara Delevingne and Chanel Iman. Somewhat demure to the alternative, I'm excited to try it out!

Five Things

 

Five things about me (and idea inspired by my lovely friend Kalen)

1. June is my favorite month--its sunshine, blue skies, and warm nights.

2. One of the biggest joys in my life is picking a newly bloomed peony and bury my face in its petals, breathing in its essence--its freshness and fragrance.  It makes me feel as if I were five again, walking barefoot on the railroad ties along my blossom clad gravel driveway.

3. I'm the only girl of five boys, and I love it-- all the the stupid decisions they make, the ever-deepening wisdom, the brotherly compassion and fierce protection, and the littlest's bright happy eyes.
 
4.  Heels are my favorite shoes, but if I could, I would always be barefoot.

5. Honey is the best sweetener.  With tea and with words.

Summer

Finals are done, and summer is officially here!  I am so excited to start wearing cut-offs, maxi dresses, and baiting suits.  Moreover, I'm excited to experience the warmth of the sunshine on my skin, the hot summer breeze flowing through my long blonde hair, and taste the sweetness of freshly picked fruit.  This summer is going to be the best summer yet--going thrift shopping, taking road trips, and sing along to the radio in my car with the windows rolled down.
