Excellence

We are capable of doing anything we put our minds to. We have a choice. What we do or how we do things, in order to achieve our dreams, is what makes the difference.

If you repeatedly do something, you are to become excellent. Practice makes perfect, right?

I think that it's very important to be aware of this so that be can be conscious of our choices. Every act will lead us to either a great path or a miserable one, depending on what effort and intention we put behind it.

 

Make every action positive and great—repeatedly. That's the road to excellence, or so they say...

 

Have a great weekend!

Hello NYC: Soho

Today I am taking you on a (mini) tour of Soho. A neighborhood in Downtown Manhattan that is definitely one of my favorite areas in the city. It's a beautiful unique neighborhood, with coffee shops, restaurants, great architecture, cobblestone streets and one the best shopping spots. Take a look!

I remember that when I would visit NYC before living here, I would walk around Soho thinking how much I would one day want to live there. It just seemed like an amazing place—and it is!

Thanks for joining us on our mini tour of Soho. Can't wait until the weather is nicer so we can enjoy it again!

Lotsa Love and more

My Favorite Word: LOVE

My Favorite Symbol: HEART (have you seen my logo?)

 

With Valentine's Day in a couple weeks love is definitely in the air, so here's a collection of a few "love" inspired items.

Love begins with you and what better way to love yourself than a shampoo/shower gel/bubblebath from Philosophy, My heart to yours? Of course, you can always treat your love (or yourself) to beautiful and delicious love letter cookies from Elenis (they're delicious!!)

What about some fashion love? Those Alice + Olivia shoes are the perfect heart addition to your Valentine's Day outfit and add a cute necklace like that Pieces one. Perfect! And you can never go wrong with a Gucci patent leather travel case—in red!

Speaking of the word love, have you seen Made by Girl's newest print? Love! Oh, and that Wildfox heart t-shirt is a bold love statement, don't you think?

 

Are you ready for some love?

A Special Surprise

A few days ago, I was heading home from being out all day in the snow. It was the coldest day ever! When I arrived I checked the mail and was beyond happy to find this beautiful painting in my mailbox—of me!!

Wondering who painted it? My sister Marybel, who happens to be an amazing artist! (I wrote about her here). She had been working on it since my birthday and finally finished it. I had no idea! I love that she made me look like a doll and Duo is still a baby. That's our cat Beady and his tag says B.D., which happens to be Brian's nickname (and sounds the same). When Brian and I met it was really strange to find out that their names were so similar, so it's perfect that his tag says that.

What a great surprise to come home to! My heart got filled with love when I saw it.

 

What do you think? Isn't it beautiful? I love, love it!

Winter Gloves Galore

The cold doesn't seem to be heading anywhere, anytime soon so I thought that a round-up of stylish gloves would be a great way to change your outerwear a bit.

The good thing about gloves is that you can own several and change them up everyday. I love those Plush texting polka dot mittens. They are cute and functional!

Who doesn't love a classic? Burberry plaid is always a good idea. Sometimes it's so cold that long gloves such as those Quinn Ikat are very much needed. You don't want the cold breeze to sneak up your sleeves.

Leopard is one of my favorite prints and those Saks Fifth Avenue Collection don't disappoint! Oh but did you see the Surell leather and faux fur gloves? Love them!

 

Do you like to wear gloves? I do, and it's a must in NYC!
