Hi Everyone!  I hope your weekend was absolutely glorious!  The future H and I went to San Francisco Saturday for a day trip.  We go to the city about 4 times a year to visit my beloved hair stylist (yes, I'm the crazy girl that drives 2 hours to get a haircut…my hair stylist is the ONLY one who has my ultimate trust with my hair) and shop Union Square/Financial District.  After getting my last haircut before the wedding, we shopped and took in the sites.  We then ventured to catch up with friends for dinner on the way home.  Needless to say, it was the PERFECT Saturday.  While we may live in the country, and I may have grown up in one of the smallest towns, I really feel like the city is a second home.  Visiting the city makes me so incredibly happy and refreshed.  Stay tuned to find out the one purchase that I made while there…

xoxo,

Abbie

I had lunch with my mom today and after telling her that I felt like my outfit didn't necessarily "match"

but I liked it that way, she reminded me that that is how I always was as a child.  She took me down memory lane discussing how I always had some crazily mismatched outfit on that I had concocted.  While it wasn't always what I'm sure that she preferred that I wore as a child, I am so thankful that she fostered the sense of wear what makes you happy.  To me, dressing is an art form…I'm terrible at drawing, painting, and the like.  However, mixing & matching pieces together to create something glorious is where my heart is…I literally spend hours in my closet piecing things together when I need some uplifting feelings to present themselves.  

xoxo,

Abbie
