plv love

[Leather jacket: F21, Maxi dress: UO, Tote: PLV Bordeaux, Booties: Boutique in Paris]

When I spotted this Pour la Victoire Bordeaux Tote bag, it was love at first site. I first fell in love with it here, but then fell even more in love with it when I saw it marked down on clearance in Marshall's. Is this real life? It can't be.

a new year

Wearing: F21 Necklace (similiar) | Rachel Rachel Roy Vest (similiar) | Ann Taylor Top

I cannot believe how fast 2011 flew by - it was a year of accomplished endeavors, including traveling the world (from Honduras to Montreal & all stops in between), learning to follow my heart, & moving into a new apartment with two of my best friends.

I skied into the New Year with the one I love, & promised myself that this year I will just be.. be in the moment, be in this place, be with each other, & enjoy it for what it truly is. Like the rest of the world, I have a list of resolutions I hope to accomplish, like becoming a vegan & saving more money, but at the end of the day, I just want to be. Cheers to 2012!
