Things I have learned from the Italians...

Oh the Italians. To make this make a little bit more sense I should explain that I work for an Italian company.

Things I have Learned since working for the Italians...

1. They like their Holidays! Seriously what other industry has summer fridays?

2. Less is often more

3. ciao means both hello and good bye

4. Madonna never gets old

The Chic-est

This blogger I just discovered through one of my favorite blogs is like visual candy. Seriously, can I be this effortlessly chic?

Identity

Transition. I am in the middle of of a pretty large transitional phase in my life. In the past things have been pretty defined for me. I go to school, I work at camp. School is what I do and camp is my ministry. I don't work at camp anymore. I always knew this day would come but now as a 23 year old entering the workforce (hopefully soon!) what does my ministry look like? I have made steps towards helping the childrens ministry at my church. I LOVE working in the fashion industry and being part of that family but I don't ever want that to be my identity. First and foremost I want my identity to be that of being a child of God. God doesn't give you deadlines, doesn't send you bills so it is a little easier to put Him in the backseat and not make Him part of your daily routine. I don't read my Bible everyday. I don't have the urgency that I wish I had. Its an exciting slash very terrifying time in my life. I could potentially hit my dreams or I could potentially hit the bottom in the coming months. If you are reading this, could you pray for me? I need it.

More Models Should Be Like This One...

To me, there isn't a better model the Agyness. She is effortlessly lovely and chic.
She looks fresh and new but also timeless. I once ran into her while waiting to board a flight and couldn't help but let her know that she was my very favorite model. She was thankful in the most gracious way. More models should be like Agyness.

Let Me

This is what I want more then anything. To be sound asleep on a warm beach with no where to go. Instead I am sitting here on my lab top putting off all the things I need to do before I can fall asleep. I left my house at 6:15 this morning to be at the television studio by 7 where I still was 5 minutes late. Worked there all day before leaving for my second job. My car is a disaster which needs to be cleaned before I leave for San Diego directly after I leave the studio tomorrow afternoon. Really I need to take a shower before work tomorrow but I can't imagine washing and drying and styling my hair when I just got home from my work day at 10:25 pm. My room mates have both left for the weekend and I came home to a note to vacuum the whole apartment before they return on Monday. Seriously with what time? I am happy to vacuum/clean but I can't do it on the busiest 48 time period of my week. There. Done.

I have become completely OBESSED with this set of engagement photos by photography pair Simply Bloom. If I were to get engaged this is what I would want my photos to look like.
