I’m typically the opposite of a procrastinator.

…until it comes to packing. I’m moving on Wednesday, and this is as far as I’ve gotten.

Oh, and I got boxes. So…I’m getting there.

What can I say? I’ve been busy keeping up with your Speakable orders!

And being the sole Speakable “model” until I can hire a real one :P

On that note - I’m glad you’ve been loving the Valentine’s Collection! They’re going faster than anticipated…

On Saturday I peeled myself away from my jewelry tools for a night out. First I met up with Mon and some friends at Kettle of Fish…

…then we went to Schapiro’s in LES for none other than RACHEL’S birthday celebration! Happy birthday, Rach :)

Today I spent the day catching up on more necklaces and blog stuff. Blossom Du Jour came to the rescue, as usual.

Then I went to church for Vision Sunday – the third anniversary of Liberty. It was an amazing night, made complete with an incredible video made by my friend Leah,which should be up on Vimeo soon!

I’ll leave you with some of my favorite devotional excerpts from this past week…

What was a highlight of your weekend?

fashion.

It’s not too soon to bring out the summer clothes…right?

I kid. Sort of. When I get bored of my winter clothes, I like bringing out summer rompers/shorts and “winterizing” them with tights, boots, and a long sweater.

romper: H&M. sweater: Macy’s. boots: Etienne Aigner. watch: Nixon.

And of course, I wouldn’t leave the house without rockin’ Speakable :) I layered DREAMER with some of my other favorite necklaces.

fun.

Last night I met up with my good friend Rachel for dinner to chat and prepare for our NEW APARTMENT. That’s right, say hello to my new roommate, whom I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot more of!

(Rachel also has a new blog, check out A Life Feast)

I haven’t gone into much detail yet about the move because I wanted to wait until it was a sure thing, and…well, it’s a sure thing now! I’ve been living in midtown for about two years and dying to move downtown, and I finally am. Not only that, but it’s pretty much our dream neighborhood. January 29th can’t come soon enough!

food.

Rachel and I met up for dinner at one of my favorites, Westville. I always get a combo of the four market sides there, and this time was no different.

I went with sautéed kale + shallots, roasted butternut squash, fried plantains, and roasted honey dijon brussels sprouts.

Rachel got the market sides too, so we had quite the veggie feast going on.

faith.

As someone who is quick to go to my confidants before God (hi mom and Jessi :)), this was convicting and comforting at the same time. It’s pretty incredible that I can go directly to the God of the universe in time of need…

Are you a fan of “winterizing” spring/summer clothes?
Any fun plans for the weekend ahead?
