Style Icon

As a part of my pledge to blog more, I've also decided to write more about things I am interested in. Such as interior design, fashion, beauty, food, etc. Instead of just about my day to day happenings. I think it could do me some good to find a bigger purpose for this blog.    So for today's post, I am going to share with you one of my biggest fashion inspirations. Kourtney Kardashian

 Now, say what you want about the Kardashians, I still love their style. Their show is entertaining to watch when I have the chance,  but it's not something I keep up with on the reg.  However, Kourtney's style is fab. I wish I could wake up every morning and be styled like her.  PS. Can anyone tell me where to find a hat like the one below??    
Until then, 

Blogging

This blog means the world to me. 

But as a reader you may not see the love I have for this blog.

Sometimes I don't know what to say and sometimes I forget my purpose.

Some days I feel like my life isn't interesting enough to write down on paper.

But these things don't matter. 

What matters is that this is my space to share the parts of my life that I love the most.

I've been doing some thinking lately about where I want to take this blog and how I can make it fit in my life. I don't ever want this to feel like an obligation or a hassle. I want to sit down and make the choice to write what I want at my own convenience. 

I've decided to set a goal for myself to blog during the week at my own pace. I want to focus on my content and what messages I'm sending the world about myself through this blog. I want this blog to develop and grow at its own pace and I want to flourish and blossom when the time is right for me a d my life. 

For now all I want is to make a bigger effort to write what's on my heart fairly regularly. I don't want to limit myself too much with this goal because as I said, I don't want this to be an obligation. I want to enjoy every moment of it. I hope that I can achieve this and make some of my other dreams regarding this blog happen. 

       

Until next time 

Slow Mornings

Summer mornings should all start this way. Waking up slowly with the sun streaming in my window. Drifting in and out of sleep until it's finally time to get up. Taking my time getting ready and enjoying the process. Spending some time reading blogs or watching Netflix. All of it is slow and easy. It is finally summer.

Summer Obsessions

Summer is here and I have a few obsessions right now. I had to share these with you guys because they are my  absolute favorite part of summer right now.

 Bath & Body Works Candles

 Summer Scarves

Happy Wednesday!

Art

As an interior design majors we are forced to take a lot of art classes.

 All of the following a projects I completed last semester. In my new art class, we are working on a self reflective piece. I mentioned to my teacher that I write this blog and he gave me the idea to run with a visual blog. I've been playing around with it a lot.  It's a hard piece. It forces me to dig really deeply into my blog and myself to figure out my purpose here. I guess in reality it's just an expression of my life and my memories, and that's what this piece is going to reflect as well. But there is something about my classmates reading these posts that intimidates me. I don't mind when complete strangers read my daily thoughts, but when the people in my art class have the opportunity to, it sort of terrifies me. It's a weird thought that I can express myself so vulnerably to the internet but not  to people who I see on a daily basis. I guess that's kind of the beauty of the internet. Anyways, I'm looking forward to sharing the finished product and seeing how it progresses. I hope you've had a fabulous Thursday.

Empire State of Mind

I'm back from the big city and back to real life. And I'm a little bittersweet about it.  First of all, it feels like I never left. While I was there, I felt like the week was going slowly. It was nice considering that we were doing so much. We saw all the big stuff, the empire state building, lincoln center, radio city hall, columbus circle, central park, the works you know.

It was overall a fabulous week. We did so much shopping and sight seeing. By the end of the week, I was confident enough to navigate myself and  walk a few blocks alone to get a pastry from a little french bakery. I felt like a true New Yorker. But I'm going to be real with you. This Texas girl can not handle the big city. I was overwhelmed by how big it was. It was a great place to visit, but it is not a place I ever see myself living. It's a place filled with people all crammed together. And that's just not my style. I can't wait to go back and get another taste of the big apple, but for now, I've got my fix and I'm happy with where I'm at. 

 

NYC

Here's the thing. 

I am so incredibly blessed.

My family is amazing.

They support me in all my endeavors.

They help me reach all of my dreams no matter what they are.

And because of my amazing family, I have a really cool opportunity this week.

I am going to New York City.

And it would not have been possible without the support of my grandparents or my mom.

 

I am going for a class.

It's a design trip.
So we get to see showrooms

 and meet with some of the most well known designers in the city.

We are going to all the best museums.

We are having a mixer in Holly Hunts showroom, 

where the furniture costs more than my tuition.

 

I am beyond excited to be able to take advantage of this trip class while I am in college.

Texas Tech has given me so many opportunities that I couldn't have ever dreamed of.

I absolutely love my life here and

 I am so thrilled that I am able to soak up every moment that comes my way.

I definitely haven't been living the life of a normal college kid these past few weeks

and getting to go to NYC for spring break is just another great thing in my life.

I want to say thank you to my family for always loving me and 

supporting all my undertakings no matter how crazy you may think I am for 

being involved in so many different things.

Thank you for giving me the life that I have.

I wouldn't be where I'm at today with you.

Thank you for paying for me to go this week.

I can't wait to get back and tell y'all about this little bloggers trip to 

the big city.
