easy

one of my favorite trends right now (and one that instantly changes and elevates any boring outfit) is that of the silk scarf and/or bandana! ever since it's made its triumphant return in streetsyle during fashion week, i've been seriously on lock with it. simple wrap twice around your neck and double knot it in the front. it's really that easy.

here are some of my personal favorite places to purchase:

hermes

alexander mcqueen

coach

although it may sound a bit silly to spend so much money on such a small item, i always feel that it's an investment. when i go into my mom's closet and see her collection dating back to the 60s, i'm in awe on how gorgeous and on trend they will always be.

this entire year has been quite the whirlwind. i don't know what it is about even-numbered years (yes, i'm rather suspicious regarding numbers) that always throw me for a loop. as i sat around this year's thanksgiving table in my friend's gorgeous house in brooklyn, i couldn't help but to really and truly feel thankful for all the trials and tribulations this year bestowed upon me. i've learned a great deal about love, truth, about standing true to who i am (self belief), but most importantly about forgiveness. this was the year of forgiveness and resilience.

  

things didn’t work out because, well, greater things were in the works. it’s so difficult while we’re blind and hurting and don’t know which way is up. but, if you have faith in anything, have faith in the fact that the universe has a beautiful way of straightening things out far better than we ever could. you may not see it today or tomorrow, but you will look back in a few years and be absolutely perplexed and awed by how every little thing added up and brought you somewhere wonderful– or where you always wanted to be. you will be grateful that things didn’t work out the way you once wanted them to.
