Spending the past week and a half in New York for fashion week has left me feeling incredibly inspired & utterly exhausted. Between seeing shows, attending fun events and seeing the fabulously creative street style that strutted across to Lincoln Center each day, it’s hard not to feel inspired. As I head back to Los Angeles, I have an edited agenda for not only my blog, closet and fashion sense, but for my life too.
A girl can walk out of the house wearing all black from head to toe and what makes her outfit extra special are the accessories she uses to compliment the look. Just as we use accessories in our wardrobe, I found little odds and ends during my trip to NY that seemed to accessorize, enhance and beautify my experience. Seeing the gorgeous garments that strutted the runways at DVF, BCBG, Tory Burch and others is lovely. But there is something extra special in finding inspiration in something as simple as a walk through Central Park, a trip to the top of the Empire State Building or picking out flavored cooking salts.
Lately I feel like my life has been pretty go-go-go and my new task at hand is focusing on time management. There are full days I spend at the desk soley responding to e-mails and then there are others where I am skipping around LA taking meetings and there seems to be no true work/life balance, no true schedule. It’s easy to get completely lost in my work because to me, my work is my life and my life is my work so the two often melt together.
Each time that I took in New York to stop and smell the roses, taste the chocolate, savor the wine & relish in a good nights rest were the moments that filled my heart with complete content. These are the experiences that I desperately grasp on to in hopes they will last forever. Guess what? They won’t.
I have learned that you have to make a conscious effort and true resolution to give yourself present peace in your daily life. A moment where you take in something small will allow your mind to feel free and heart happy. These are moments that always leave me feeling most fulfilled and most confident.
After all, the best accessory a girl can have is confidence!
