kimono.

Not going to lie, my summer uniform is typically a tank and denim cutoff shorts- pretty much the standard for most, I'm sure. In order to stand out and put my signature touch to this look, I always like to add on some accessories or a pop of color anywhere I can.

I was recently gifted this beautiful kimono that is super lightweight (perfect for the chillier summer nights) and is literally a piece of art in color and design. The ruffled, wide bell sleeves adds a unique touch of sophistication to this look.

every time has its place.

This past weekend I went to my usual hot yoga class and my instructor mentioned she overheard a family at the beach running down a list of things they were going to do next rather than enjoying their vacation. This made me think how often I plan out my day on the regular. From setting calendar reminders and alarms to writing out a list of things to do and at what time of the day. Even when I spend time with my family and friends, rather than enjoying the moment, often times I'm thinking, what do I have to do next, what can I cross off my to-do list. Who else is guilty of doing this?! 

Time is precious, we never know what is going to happen next or how long we have left with someone important in our life. So next time you're spending time with your family member or friend, or doing something for yourself (this includes treating yourself to ice cream), take the [time] to treasure the moment. Oh and if you haven't heard already, it's National Ice Cream Day so go take some time to treat yo self!
