words from mae’s “Our Love is a Painted Picture” A year ago, today, I left my 12-year job in digital publishing, where I was working for a website I considered my life’s work. I lived and breathed our website for the better part of that decade. That meant the brand was basically my lifeblood. When I was suddenly without a…
Formerly a weekly themed post I adapted from That’s Chic, this is a list of my favorite things for the month. Music Monday So I’ve been talking about this collaboration since January and I can’t believe it’s finally here. We’re launching the #DandyOnaXPrima collection on April 21st and taking pre-orders starting tomorrow. I’ll talk more about this precious project in a separate post…

But I’ve come to realize that you can’t compare yourself to others or pattern your life after someone else’s. And I think that’s why I’ve been more carefree and have finally let go of worrying…
I have a paper journal that my friend gave me as a birthday present back in 2003. I’m only on page 60, 8 years later. I’ve never been the type to write every day (I used to blog every minute! I think you call it Twitter nowadays.), but I just kept this in my room for emergency purposes. The other…
