floral jumpsuit // sandals (similar) // circle bag
Do you believe in love at first sight? Well I do. When it comes to clothes and relationships, if it makes my heart skip a beat I am in love. This floral jumpsuit from Rebecca Taylor made my heart jump, flip, catch on fire, stop, and skip a beat upon seeing it for the first time.. I am not the biggest fan of jumpsuits but this one with it’s floral print and ruffle sleeves was made to be mine.
I believe that even though we are out of school it does not mean we can not learn something new. Years ago one of my friends father was in the news about how he still takes college courses in different subjects to continue learning. It really stuck with me that the our education does not stop and should not stop just because we received our college diploma. You do not have to go register for a class or completely change your career path, all you have to do is find something simple you are interested in. Throughout the years since then I have tried to learn new skills. Even if I do not excel in it, I still try. I take online courses to learn marketing or graphic designs. I download apps to learn a new language. I enrolled in an online nutrition school for a year and became a certified health coach. In college I took piano lessons to refresh my memory. And last year I took tennis lessons. It was something that I have been interested in doing for a few years. I really enjoyed playing and it is something that I will continue to do for fun.
The other day I had lunch with Emily from Empire Style of Mind. During our lunch she was telling me how she studied photography in college but hasn’t really picked up the camera as much as would like to. She is trying to get back into it] and learn new skills. She recently went to Montana for a seminar in photography. It really had me thinking about getting back into photography as well, but what will be my next skill to attempt to learn. I have a running list such as a cooking class or learn to play golf, but what has really been on my mind is to paint. Yes I know how to paint, art was one of my favorite subject in school. I want to take a course in painting to open my creativity and do something I used to love to do. I am also taking an online course to learn graphic design. It’s important to me to keep learning, keep growing. Each year I want to tackle and attempt a new skill or knowledge.
If you are interested in learning something new, here is a list of ideas!
Over the weekend I moved into my new room! My roommate moved out to be closer to her boyfriend and I moved into her room, which is slightly bigger than mine. My dad flew in from Ohio to help me move my furniture as I did not want to hire someone for a simple job but also could not do it myself. It only took us almost two hours to move everything over. The room is starting to look put together but I do need a few finishing touches. One of the items that I am looking to add to my room is a nightstand. I’ve been looking at side tables as well to act as a bedside table. I know I want it to be white and have been gravitating towards ones with gold accents. Right now I am thinking of getting this one, but still want to look around before I buy. These are my top 10 choices so far!

Happy Friday!! It is starting to really feel like spring here and it is suppose to be around 70 degrees this weekend! I’ve been trying to spend as much time outside as possible. My dad is arriving today to visit for the weekend and to help me move my stuff. My roommate is moving out and I am taking over her room. I didn’t want to hire someone to move me a few feet away but also can’t move my dresser alone. I am so excited he is going to be here and it will just be the two of us. For as long as I have lived in New York my dad has never visited me without my mom or sister present. Since my move won’t take that long we have a long weekend of exploring the city and spending time together.
