If you’re anything like me you still haven’t figured out what to wear for Halloween. It’s pretty typical of me to wait until the last minute to figure out my Halloween idea. I have a tendency to think there is plenty of time left…and now it’s just two days before Halloween!… Read more
I am extremely optimistic person, which is great most of the time, but when it comes to time management my eternal optimism is a detriment.

About two weeks ago I wandered into the Kendra Scott store near me (SO dangerous!) and fell in love with this cuff bracelet and cocktail. I simply cannot stop wearing this jewelry.
