INTRODUCING

     This is my first introduction of my Spring 2014 pieces, that is profoundly over-due. I have four great pieces already started, and can't wait to begin the rest. There are a few items I can't wait to get out there, having to do with my favorite shoes. Hint, hint.


I have some ambition to start posting an outfit here and there. You might be seeing a few throughout the week.  With a preview of some of the spring items, to be sure. There is already a dainty little necklace that I've been taking off only to go to bed.


It's now time to go knock out some serious cleaning while I still have time. It'll be the only way I stay sane until Saturday, if i do it.

IT'S NEW

     

       
"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." 
-Socrates 

This is, in fact, how I feel. Over the last two months I feel like my life has been overwhelmed with change (all good change), and still is. The only thing that's kept me from being completely frenzied is focusing all of my energy on building the new. It been wonderful to see all the beautiful things that have come out of it, and all of the loathsome things that have become beautiful.

I ordered THE pink egg beautyblender, that so many of you have been talking about. I've heard it was made by the hands of baby angels themselves, and can't wait to try it out- Be assured that you will be hearing more on this subject after they arrive.

For all of you fitness buffs(literally): Training for the old Half-Marathon is going well, I'm getting to end of week 4 (of 12). Today is my first 5 mile run, not too shabby for me. I bought myself a little "congratulation's you're doing awesome Alyssa" gift- A pair of Zara sweats for running, now that the temperature has dropped. (I also bought a pair of trainers [not for running], and coated leggings, which is all non-related, just exciting.) Yes. I felt it was needed. Feel free to mock me on this subject, I would.

As most of you may know we had a giveaway on the blog Monday-Wednesday. Thank you, to my four wonderful entries. Smile. You're awesome. Andddddd, we have a winner- Jennifer J. was the lucky draw!!

Also, I'm dying to get my hands on a sewing machine. I was thinking of getting a Brother. Do you have a favorite old faithful?

LISTEN UP: MONTHLY PLAYLIST

 

 

     This is a little something I like to call the "Monthly playlist".. I usually go through music incredibly quickly (Unless its an artist I just can't shake, everyone has to have their staples), and I have people constantly asking what I listen to. So, why not make a playlist each month and share? From here on out there will be one of these posts each month at some point or another, with some fresh tunes for you. Feel free to follow along on my Spotify account as well.

 

The above photo is the art work for James Vincent McMorrow's new album Post Tropical (JAN 2014) and single Cavalier (Released October 19, 2013). This will be the second full-length album for this Dublin born Indie/Folk artist. The single "Cavalier" has settled right into my favorite listens the last two days. I can't wait to hear in January where the rest of the album takes us.
