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…

Game day fun.

Only in New York do you cringe at witness hundreds of people without their pants on.

When the line at Whole Foods wraps around the entire store…Jamba Juice for “dinner” it is.

Last but not least, the new loves of my life.

What was the highlight of your weekend?

introducing speakable.

I’ve been keeping a little secret from you for a few months.

Okay…a kinda sorta big secret.

Today I’m launching a lifelong dream that I never thought would actually come to fruition. I’ve started my own line of jewelry, called Speakable.

 

Speakable is about making a statement with your jewelry. Literally.

Why? Because words have power.

Words can inspire, challenge, or humor.
They can change the way we think, act, or feel.
Words bring people together. We identify with them.

So why not wear your words?

Read more about Speakable here, and check out my first six necklace designs – part of the Premier Collection.

I can’t even tell you how excited I am about this! It really is something I’ve dreamed of since I was a little girl. So if you get the chance, check out the new Speakable website, and let me know what you think!
