Hope you all are doing well - I am excited to fill you in on what I have been working on the last couple of months. These are definitely strange times and to be honest not the easiest. I know there are a lot of us trying to find our way at the moment but it helps to know that we are in this together and through all this craze WE MUST STAY POSITIVE! Sometimes it is easier said than done, but trying to find small things that make me happy in my day truly make all the difference.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my loves that I have had more time to devote to has been discovering designer deals through resale and consignment. With a background in Off-Price buying, I guess you can say I have always been all about a great deal and sharing them even more. One of my favorite weekend activities to do when I lived in New York was shopping my favorite resale shops - every month when I would go back for work I always found a moment to shop the stores for any and all great finds. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Now I am looking to bring my finds to YOU and also help you share your previously loved items. At the moment I am utilizing a few <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shopgetthelook_/" target="_blank">online platforms</a> to resell and share my finds. I am working through a few more details but I guess you are never really ready - Always as I say this is a work in progress…</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will say though I am grateful for this time to learn, develop myself personally, and get creative! So I am starting something new, and giving your style items a second chance and a new beginning...similar to a lot of our new NEWs right now. SO Sit back Relax I’ll hit those closet/retail racks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span id="docs-internal-guid-fec786e1-7fff-d0e3-13b5-83438b189564" style="text-size-adjust: auto;"><h1 style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="inherit"><u><a href="https://www.instagram.com/shopgetthelook_/">How can you Support Shop Get the Look? </a></u></font></span></h1></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/shopgetthelook_/" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1072" data-original-width="1078" height="779" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY54so0n9a-TGf5enT7BJZH4hL7hHMWB_9z74cANAYrZOeGd6ntNNqIMH8Gle1iucniQLSU1xvKVi0NCKa220_BiLfuN5nf51-VLjuQbdzBB2eYGxNlbrFOHvriDT7ptkKr5m1CqXWu_Z5/w781-h779/Screen+Shot+2020-07-25+at+8.01.56+PM.png" width="781" /></a></span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://poshmark.com/closet/shopgetthelook" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="1064" height="781" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVQA6i7W3ATScWmglGzZgSZ1D5KOQ3J3PbMPYDwcTdttEVWfEtIGpW28WfsmuszvIK5mlw7uRQ9CRIdGn1S5BMB9M1D4wmVbvGa4uZ-QsB2Rk3DgNu3y3TTYZL3rz52RiNl5mHDUjK7x16/w780-h781/Screen+Shot+2020-07-25+at+8.02.09+PM.png" width="780" /></a></div><h1 style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><u><a href="https://poshmark.com/closet/shopgetthelook" target="_blank">What can you Find @ ShopGetTheLook?</a></u></span></h1><div>**Any and ALL labels are welcome from your closets - Anything I source I will curate extra label love.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://poshmark.com/closet/shopgetthelook" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="2000" height="625" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi35oIIuZQF2Q0-lQF70F_74EERToh-yHJmoRkfqTMYerVmy5rKik4DWF8FZgdQqx6yEf7qhl8OwYFWAUeycX8cm4grbNsf-R-3XDGVRDdRvCf4gO0PJwI5z7ztBE-GXWfUDQj7Wf-53Mxv/w781-h625/What+you+can+find+%2540.jpg" width="781" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://poshmark.com/closet/shopgetthelook" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1040" data-original-width="1334" height="608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrpZzfLQZIwP0WTFJ6w5Nbk0nRKa1iSd10rysgPITBt04cfdBjTUoSqW-Rh2gl6OlE2GhO31OOUjumeb-R5mdA8vlDAvsANHAdhOmV9yup6TZTKdWGmbj3M6FO9oLqx1OeEsj_OdWdxB1A/w781-h608/Screen+Shot+2020-07-25+at+9.47.13+PM.png" width="781" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://poshmark.com/closet/shopgetthelook" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1030" data-original-width="1326" height="608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLS_4Xc3o-ROvD2NX28er5HiexuOPJtgPRrZD4Hxm-Z8m6ZXmTT98nmrR7tomsOl8z4WJjpTcSovO7Hdap4ZJTf9wZA_BqHNQhyphenhyphenRrs7p9Dp4atNoVJaJ5fAmqhwAazuf69rr94MdwoWSXJ/w781-h608/Screen+Shot+2020-07-25+at+9.47.25+PM.png" width="781" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hope you find this helpful and I can help you <b>Get The Look</b> and share your previously loved styles.

HAPPY FALL YALL! HOW are we in NOVEMBER already - and nearing mid-month?! Ready for this season and I thought it would be the perfect time to share some festive photos Chayson and I did during our engagement shoot in NY. Thanks again <a href="https://www.instagram.com/griffinungar/">Griff</a> - once again you are a master at the snaps! We wanted fun memories and sharing with a friend is always the way to go!<br />
Overall we have been busy busy this season - new jobs, travel, weddings, wedding planning...and ALL GREAT things. Going through all my saved snaps and I was thinking I need to get back to the blog life. Sharing a few engagement pic tips we learned along the way.<br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Engagement Pic Tips/To Dos</h3>
<ol>
<li><b>Plan Ahead of time </b>- Give yourself enough time to figure out what you want your shoot to look like - A special place? Love a certain look/theme? See something that inspired you? I would say about a month out is when we cracked down on the specifics. I knew for sure we wanted snaps in New York.</li>
<li><b>Book the Photographer </b>- research the area you choose for any well known photographers or friends with skills in the area. If you are in NYC I cannot recommend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/griffinungar/">Griffin Ungar</a> enough! She always does an amazing job. Scrolling instagram hashtags and locations is helpful so you can get an idea on their work/aesthetic.</li>
<li><b>Plan Your Style </b>- Pick a few seasonal and non seasonal looks. I wanted fall but also season-less romantic dressy photos <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/112167846955320115/">(Central Park Photos) </a><a href="http://www.glitzyandglossy.com/2019/07/save-date-2222020.html">(Brooklyn Bridge Photos) </a>Also one thing Griffin did that I liked was black and white pics. This helps with seasonality and definitely framing for the home once that is in order.</li>
<li><b>Have 1-2 Sessions </b>- If there are several looks this helped break things up without the rush. The morning light worked best for us and we only had so much time before the sun was fully up. We did Friday and Saturday morning around 7am to beat the crowds. </li>
<li><b>Pack a Bag</b> - Friday/Saturday each had 2-3 looks. I was able to roll my outfits in a bag and add any touch up products (Lipsticks, hair pins, brush). It was pretty windy on the bridge so eye drops helped me out (contact life).</li>
<li><b>Be the Early Bird </b>- YES I cannot stress this enough especially in crowded cities. The only people in the parks/bridge were others doing exactly what we were doing. So it was not bad at all! But best to beat the crowd over all to not feel rushed.</li>
<li><b>Beauty Prep</b> - If you are not comfortable doing your hair and makeup I would look into this when you book the photographer. I did my own hair/makeup but if you need a blowout, friend, or makeup artist help...you go girl! The day before I used <a href="https://rstyle.me/+xcu86HeSSvyAI4hex52oOA">crest whitening strips</a> and did a second day no hair wash to help with curls.</li>
<li><b>Save Inspiration</b>- l researched shots on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/glitzyandglossy/">Pinterest </a>(used these <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/112167846955177251/">here,</a> <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/112167846955184843/">here, </a>and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AT_xjrFwqqJKY1UlwY95aRYID5-qC2kIrYf8jP6Q4-O1Rv8kHJO2vZ8/">here</a>) These photos are such great keepsakes and it helps to know exactly what to do when you are there. </li>
<li><b>Pose vs. Candids</b> - This is super helpful. You might think you know what you are doing until you're in the middle of it. It's good to save some shot ideas + play around and get fun candids. Lol ACT NATURAL canoodling around in the park ;) I saved a few poses for shot ideas. These <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/112167846955184851/">here</a>, <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/112167846955184864/">here</a>, and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/112167846955320115/">here </a>sparked ideas) and Griffin helped direct so having a photographer who has shot couples before is also a must.</li>
<li><b>HAVE SO MUCH FUN</b></li>

Wowyyy time sure does fly. Seriously you guys so so much happens in a year and I have to say I am so thankful to have this guy by my side. Between this year’s highs, lows, and in betweens...I don’t know what I’d do without him. Thankful to have someone who completely gets me and to have my person. It’s seriously so crazy that we have been together for 6 WHOLE YEARS (thanks hunnnn for puttin up with me ;P). </span></span></span></div>

I know everyone has different timelines and all I have to say is thank goodness I’ve had a while. A year and a half and so far I haven’t had any major stressors...yet. I know it’s bound to happen but each month I’ve been working to check chunks off the list. Overall I have to say that taking our time was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process. It’s really allowed me to enjoy all things wedding, chip away at the list (since life can get crazy), and research/get my life together with my mom and planner. Ongoing things Chayson and I have been working on are meeting with the church with our marriage prep courses (really love this part) and keeping up with my workouts and beauty prep #OperationWeddingReady (details in another upcoming post).</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ok guys...Last weekend we did the MOST amazing cake tasting lol like we ATE SO MUCH. It was definitely our favorite part. The day before we did another tour at our venue to get an idea on decor/florals. It was nice to get another walk through and plot out the timeline of things...eeeek we are both SO SO excited for our upcoming big day. I’m of course looking forward to it but I do love all the fun Pinterest plan times. I made so many boards I just have them all set private so I can get real nuts haha. </span><br />

Hi Friends, HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR! Ah and finally I have our engagement photos to share with you. Well I've had them for awhile but I wanted to put them together here on a blog post. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/griffinungar/">Griffin </a>did such an amazing job and I cannot believe how special these turned out. Thank you again for such a fun memory. I'm working on a few upcoming posts so you'll start to see them all trickle out hence the Part1 lol but this is one of my favorite groups. Lol we had a few different looks, but LOVED how these romantic Central Park shots were captured. <a href="http://www.worldofwanderlust.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/blaire-2.jpg">Gossip Girl inspired</a> - Me? No way ;) xoxo<br />
<br />
So although our wedding will be in Texas, I still wanted to add in my city vibes to the planning process. Chayson and I share SO many memories here in New York. It's funny to think that he probably knows the city just as well as I do - We had a lot of back and forth between TX and NY the last couple of years.<br />
<br />
In November we planned an extended weekend after a market trip and thank goodness we chose that 11/11 weekend. A week from the day we shot the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2018/11/16/heres-how-half-foot-snow-led-commuting-nightmare-new-york-city-thursday/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.0f55a4b4ca21">huge blizzard storm came (bye Fall)!</a> Central Park in the Fall is an absolute dream and I wanted to capture the city at its best. We did our photos early in the morning 7:30 ish on a Friday and Saturday. It helped to break up the days and looks, I wanted to do a couple of casual and dressy styles. We made the trip so I wanted to really take advantage of the time and scenery we had to work with. I know we will have the photos forever and we can use them at the wedding and for save the dates (coming soon). Y'all I will say, it was FREEZING outside - but thankfully no cold sniffles and we had a really fun time together. It was funny at first trying to take pictures and pose around, Griffin was great making it fun and I had a few poses saved on my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/glitzyandglossy/">Pinterest board</a> to help out with all the engagement shot ideas. Also I have to say Chayson did such a great job putting all of his outfits together. BOY HAS STYLE <3<br />

If you are taking pics somewhere away from home, it was nice starting early in the am and then we had the rest of the day to explore. During our weekend stay we did a little Resale retail shopping, caught up with friends, and tried a few new restaurants on our list.<br />

I love that each spot we shot all have fun times tied between us. Chayson and I have done just about every touristy to do in New York. Plenty a many of morning runs, picnics, laying out, and summer market exploring have happened between Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, and Dumbo. Special spots in one of my favorite cities with my favorite person <3 </div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hi Friends – ok SO finally I am sharing one of the main LIFE buzzes at the moment! WE DID IT! Those of you who have been around for the last 6 years you saw it coming (teehee). <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk_sV3dgzSB/">July 7<sup>th</sup>2018 my best friend and love of my life asked me to marry him! </a> Long story short for those new to G&G - We met second semester senior year of college, started dating and survived the whole New York move, learned some of this life thing post college, had many plenty adventures, ups/downs (mostly ups), FINALLY ended up in the same city, and have grown 1000% closer than ever. Finally the post I have been working to put together – I feel like it won’t do the day justice #bestdayever. But one of my favorite parts about my blog is going back and re-reading BIG days and this is a biggie.</span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">#1 Question – HOW DID HE ASK?!</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Basically I was tricked into all of these GREAT things happening for a weekend. My cousin (she just had twins) needed a spa day, my sister was in town for an “interview”, and a good friend of mine (she works in advertising) invited me a few weeks before to an “exclusive” wine tasting event. How great does that sound? I mean it was super legit, she EVEN sent over the email invite from her work (pic below). Sarah your design skills are amazing and seriously I want to have this printed and posted somewhere on the big day haha it is just too funny!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So yes, It was a wine and cheese tasting (YUM) Oooh and get this, special guest <a href="https://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette/cast/jojo-fletcher">Jojo from the Bachelorette</a> would be there. She just released her clothing line and is from Texas and you know #PressMoment. I was told that there would be a ton of photos and you know what that means…live your best self care life and get. It. Together. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Teeth whitened, facemask done, fresh post vacay tan, outfit picked and THANK GOODNESS. I had NO clue any of the #Yes moment was going to happen. Chayson was out of town back home in Corpus, and I had this great weekend planned. Who knew it would get THAT much better. Also little did I know that the invite, nail spa day, sister in town…was well played. Baiting me with wine and cheese? Also well played ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">My friend came over and we talked about how fun the event would be, I asked a few questions about our fun evening ahead and of course Sarah kept her cool. When we pulled up to the wine bar Chayson was standing in front in a suit, rose in hand, and the biggest smile. At first I was super confused and then I was like waittttt a minute. After he explained the “special guest” could not make it, he opened the doors and both of our families and friends were there and then it clicked -I WAS LIKE OMG. THIS IS IT. Haha</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He got down on one knee – we both blacked out (I can’t tell you what he said but I know it was super sweet haha) pretty sure I said YES (like I said we blacked out LOL) then we all celebrated. One of his close friends is a chef<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ChasingFoodATX/"> (Kelly from Chasingfoodatx)</a> and she catered our favorite foods – yes I did get my cheese and wine and we all were able to party time and catch up with everyone. Thank you SO much the food was amazing I loved it! My closest high school friend Jen even made the drive in town and it was just so great to have all my loved ones involved in Step #1 of our happily ever after. Chayson was so thoughtful and decorated with roses, little lights, candles, our favorite memory pictures, and the space was beautiful. He planned one heck of a party and thank you THANK YOU to everyone who made the drive in and helped Chayson make our engagement/party so so special. </span></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">SO THE BLING??</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I know we had previously talked about “the future” and what that would look like but I did not see this coming. I always new I wanted to just be completely surprised and have out fam and friends share our exciting moment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To be honest we had not talked about rings within the last couple of years or so – he of course knew my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/glitzyandglossy/boards/">Pinterest board</a> and that I wanted a simple classic style. <a href="http://www.davidgardnersjewelers.com/">David Gardners Jewelers </a>had my ring size and everything from a few years back on a resize and I was COMPLETELY surprised -it’s a perfect fit. My now sistaaa Caysi works for <a href="http://www.davidgardnersjewelers.com/">David Gardner’s</a> and I love that she and Chayson were able to work on it together #family. It is absolutely perfect and I could not be more excited for what our future has in store. </span></div>

I CANNOT wait for you all to see them (sneak peek above) My good friend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/griffinungar/">Griffin </a>did an amazing job and is so talented. We are taking our time through the process and enjoying our engagement – we have still over a year and time to get everything going. Excited to keep you all in the loop and have a space here to share all the exciting upcomings. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Whew these last few weeks have been beyond a whirlwind of emotions. An exciting opportunity came up and a big </span><b style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">life change </b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">is about to happen...there were too many check boxes that checked. So yes, Texas almost four years later I'm commin back atcha! This Spring for me has been super life reflective and I've come to the conclusion that some of the best decisions I've made I don't think I really ever made - props to the man upstairs because you seem to know what you're doing. I'm just along for the ride lol </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Right now I'm writing this en route to find my new Texas home..I still cannot believe 4 years have come and gone. NYC you were never in my plans but second semester senior year you sure became a big one. Most people after graduation have this vision of "I'm moving to (insert) after collage and working at...". College Vic knew she wanted a career in retail and fashion, but never did I think it would lead me on this adventure. I remember working day and night on a project Fall of my Senior year, which sure enough was my ticket to the city where dreams are made of. My first trip visiting the city I figured when in the world would I ever do this again? It was Day 2 and I was already at a career fair trying to picture what my life could be like here. I was starting to feel like this city would be the</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">ultimate life education</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- if you can make it here you can make it anywhere right? Lets just hope so ;) Three months later I was interning on Fashion Ave only to find myself four years later trying to keep it together saying bye to my work family in Herald Square. One of my team members (sista) and I would joke about "perfect dream situations" lol it partially worked out just a little differently-</span><span style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">bittersweet</span><b style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"> </b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">because you know I love you guys so much! Shoutout to the work fam because y'all are total stars. This has been a crazy ride but I'm so</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">thankful</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">for this once in lifetime moment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Why do I love NYC so much?</i> I mean without a doubt this is truly one of the most incredible cities in the world (biased, maybe a little). The hustle and bustle here gives me life - I have mastered the art of NYC public transportation (TX get on that), can tell you just about where every tiny dim lit wine bar can be found, order a proper cup of coffee, and I can successfully hail a cab. lol but don't worry mom and dad I've learned much more than that...Personally and professionally I've had the opportunity to meet, work with, and learn from truly some of the best. You know who you are and <b>thank you </b>doesn't even begin to cover it.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Am I ready to be back in Texas again?</i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Yes and bittersweet best describes the feeling. I'm so beyond excited to be closer to home, closer to family/boyfriend/friends, and still continue doing what I love. It's like my previous boss and (life coach/friend) has always said you're never going to really ever be ready, sometimes you just have to </span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">get ready</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">. Noted - Wise words and Lessons from Laura. </span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>What will I miss most about the city?</i> Well all you wonderful <b>people</b> here of course! NYC is a special culture of anyone and everything- You can find just about all walks of life here. Some of my closest friends I've made I would have never known existed had I not moved here alone. Homegirl needed friends and man did I find some really good ones...new friends and strengthened older ones too (hai Aggie girls we stick together). Also my Foodie Hit List. Anyone who knows me knows about this crazy list I have. There are SO many fun foodie places to go to. It's broken out by Cafes, restaurants, rooftops, wine bars, places to see...ah name any food trend, new restaurant, specialty drink, chef, and seriously this city is loaded and home to some of the best. I love experiencing these places with loved ones and each place has a special memory. Lots of them with Chayson, visiting friends, and first/last moments here. So yes I'll miss my NYC list, but when I come to visit. It's on :) </span></div>

<i style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">How did this all happen?</i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> It was a complete surprise and I felt like it truly was a yes moment. I told y'all back in January I made a New Years resolution to try to do more. More of what exactly? Everything. I remember having a feeling that this could possibly be my last year as a New Yorker. I can't explain it but just creeping little thoughts that this was it and that anything that happened I needed to be that</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><b style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">YES </b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">person. It inspired me to start my blog up again. I am SO glad I did. Something in me felt so antsy and I just didn't want to miss out on anything. I didn't know why I felt that way but I knew I needed to just do something. So I laid out big picture ideas and thoughts and decided to have meaningful catch up friend dates (life talks),branch out/meet more people, travel, try new restaurants on my hit list, and overall just say YES. </span></div>
<div dir="auto" style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I mean guess that yes is what got me here in the first place. Ah and I'm so happy I fought the scary doubtful thoughts and made the move here after school. I hit my resolution hard this Spring with weekly catch up dates and some with people I had not seen since my first year in NYC (thank goodness), went to fashion week, visited LA, made blog shoots into memories, branched out with other bloggers, found more FitFriends (aka real lol),and even tried new workout classes. Overall, I wanted to come back to Texas feeling excited, <b>zero regrets,</b> and in a way complete. Mission accomplished. </span></div>

Ok...I'm not going to lie and say this day wasn't beyond chillayyyy. Yes, it was gorgeous day in Washington Square Park (the bits of fallen snow were so pretty) but that wind had a killer bite. There were literally maybe 10 people in the whole park and 10 people anywhere is a rare site in NYC. I had 2 tank tops layered under my blouse and sweater *** All about adding a little tank (or two) under my tops to keep the warmth in. </div>

I wanted to keep things easy and simple - Black and white. Lately I have loved adding a pop of color to an overall simplistic look. This red bag is such a great statement piece - pink or even green would be cute for the spring/summer.

I made a little friend while we were shooting. Who wore it best? He matched perfectly and luckily his owner didn't mind us hanging out for a bit. Nice outfit choice little friend...he knows how to work that pop of color in ;) Sweet puppy, I wanted to take him home SO BAD. Can I ???<br />

Life Update - I am so excited to say that I will be having a completely NEW start to this year. I know I have mentioned to you that I am moving apartments (eek) but I am also moving jobs! My new position will still be in buying with the same company but I will be working in a different department/area. My move to NYC has been based on experiencing as much as I possibly can while I am here. I think this will be a great way to meet new people and learn about buying in another area. Yay for fresh starts and "newness" ;)<br />
