Today’s Inspiration: Neck Scarves

We've seen many variations to the scarf like the lightweight and skinny, or the layered and fringed, and while I love the different styles, today I was reminded of how much I've always loved the classic neck scarf. My boss came in today wearing one (like the first pictured below) and I really loved it. Here are some variations for your viewing pleasure.

Destination: Riviera Maya

Hello! I'm back from what seemed like a split second in paradise. The Riviera Maya was unbelievably gorgeous, the peso was cheap, and the weather was lovely. We visited Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, and Isla Mujeres. Playa has always been my favorite, but this time, Isla Mujeres took the cake. Here are some of my favorite moments captured through my camera. Enjoy!

Movin’ On Up

Hello, dear readers. I apologize I've been so scarce around here lately; my boyfriend and I have been moving into a new house (!) all week and have been knee-deep in moving boxes and cleaning solution. Things are definitely shaping up, and I expect that I'll have some time this evening to make a decent post.
In the meantime, if anyone has any moving/decorating/furnishing tips you'd like to share, please do. I'll be posting pictures ASAP. That is, when I finally unearth my camera...
Have a great week!
-C.
