Fringe Benefits

I keep striving to bring more positivity into my life.

Love at first sight, is how I would describe most of the pieces I'm wearing here. The tassel tee was an impulse purchase last summer, I spotted it in the window of one of the numerous H&Ms I walked past in California. I saw the fringe cardigan on Little Blonde Book, and even though it was sold out at the time, there was eBay... which brings me to the hat, which I saw in the store and fell in love with, but had my reservations when it came to the price tag. Happily I was able to find it on eBay as well for a steal!

The shoes I've had forever, and wouldn't you know it, now mules are trending again. Though, were they even trending when I bought them? I can't remember.

Lavender Pond Farm

I am worthy of abundance in my life.

Over the weekend we finally made it out to Lavender Pond Farm in Killingworth, CT, though unfortunately we were a bit early and the lavender fields weren't yet in bloom. I wasn't too disappointed however, since the area was still quite lovely, we shopped the lavender gift shop, and the resident "Lavendoodle" Flora was there. I always feel like I'm cheating on Chloe whenever I take photos with another dog, but I suppose she will never know. Saturday turned out to be a little sunny oasis in the constant barrage of rainy days we've been having, and that seem likely to continue through this week. It's June and somehow it still feels like April.

Small Changes

Enter my Crown Jewelry Giveaway!

Even a small change can make a big difference. I was thinking about this the other night when I got home from work and rather than making dinner, I made a chocolate cake. As I looked over the recipie, I was thinking how similar it was so many other recipes. Change a few things and I could have had brownies, a couple other adjustments and I could be making pancakes for breakfast.

A few small changes were all it took to make this workout outfit into a look I'd happily get brunch in or run a few errands.

A few small changes.
