Isn’t it all about timing? Lately, I’ve really started to believe that everything happens in it’s own time….when it’s supposed to. Perhaps that’s me simply accepting the fact that I’m not in control. Contrary to what I’ve thought, or led myself to believe, for the longest time. Chapters of your life come to an end, unfinished stories resurface if nothing else than to remind you of a time you were yet another version of yourself. Growing pains. Life is one big growing pain. And with that, I’ve had the itch to travel- Summer tends to have that effect on me. I want to go; everywhere and all the time. People have told me to slow down, give myself a break to process and “relax”. Honestly, I’ve never felt more alive. The thrill of a new destination, a spontaneous flight, an impromptu road-trip or a late dinner with an old flame. Perhaps I’m too “old” to be acting so juvenile. Perhaps I don’t really care. I feel a weight off my shoulders and the excitement and childish enthusiasm that comes with it.
This adorable little ensemble was my very first purchase from Stradivarius- a brand widely popular in Europe but unfortunately not sold in the states…yet. How fun are these red sequin lips? I’m sure they have a secret, or two, to tell… A casual look for a long, and much awaited, holiday weekend!
What do you all have planned? Bbqs, poolside, travel? Do tell!

That’s exactly how I am feeling as well.
