PR Bound

So in order to escape the frosty New York temps, me and 4 other friends have planned a week-long trip to Puerto Rico! We leave Sunday morning and I could not possibly be anymore excited! I just got done being sick as a dog, and I need this vacation more than ever! I'm so looking forward to the beach, exploring PR, meeting new friends, eating good food (and refreshing drinks!), and just some straight up R&R!

On the fashion front, I'm looking forward to ditching the coats and scarves for shorts and sandals! The warm temperatures and spanish influences of Puerto Rico are definitely going to serve as the inspiration for my wardrobe choices. Something I've seen a huge reprise of, and also am personally obsessed with, is bold color! I'm going to take this vacation as an opportunity to break from drab winter colors, but also pull out pieces from last summer and see what new items I can encorporate into my wardrobe for this upcoming spring.

 

Some of my favorite colors to work with are; coral, true red, hot pink, neon orange, bright and mustard yellow, mint green, teal, kelly green, and cobalt blue. I've also noticed a surge in various aztec, ikat and tribal prints in bold colors which is also something that I am looking forward to adding into my wardrobe and also feels very Puerto Rican appropriate.

Crazy Ride

Hello everyone! I'm obviously very new to the blogging scene, and my blog is definitely a work in progress (as you can tell). I wanted a creative outlet where I could share the things I am passionate about; fitness, food, entertainment, travel, and decor, but mainly fashion. I feel that blogging has really become a great source for people of all sorts, all around the world to connect through the daily musings that inspire them.

 

On October 1st, 2012 I made one of the biggest leaps of faith and finally took the plunge to move to New York City. After visiting New York almost yearly since I was 15, and spending 2 months traveling through Europe, I decided to change my life entirely by packing all my belongings into a suitcase (yes, one! For those of you who know me, this was quite a feat!) and making the move. Five months later, it's been an incredible journey. I've made some mistakes, but i've also learned a lot about myself what I do and do not like, what it is that I want. 

 

2013 has already been an incredible year, I can't wait to learn even more and continue on this crazy ride! I hope in turn I can inspire you, even in some small, menial way. Because after all, isn't that what life is about, the beauty in the small details?

"Enjoy the little things in life, because one day you will look back,
and realize they were the big things"
