Dress up

Now that I'm a mom and my body has curves in new ways I've been craving a bit of a style makeover. A balance between Sophia Loren (aim high, right?) ala Houseboat with a twist of Katherine Hepburn in Adam's Rib. Here's my a bit of modern mood board for the new look:

Gratitude Wednesday

I feel like whenever I post about gratitude I begin by explaining why it's been so long between posts. Today I make no excuses. I write as often as I can, when I can within the hectic chaos of my life. So here goes: 

1. I'm grateful that I have a healthy baby girl who sleeps through the night and smiles all day. 

2. I'm grateful that my super star of a mom comes down once a week to save my life and bond with my baby. 

3. I'm grateful to have a freelance career that despite being hectic & hard to plan around allows me days with my daughter, days to get out of the house and days that strike a beautiful balance in-between both. 

4. I'm grateful for my agent. My career is kicking ass right now and I owe so much of it to her. (And to my tireless partner who picks up all the pieces I leave in my wake). 

5. I'm grateful for warm days that aren't too warm. It's been the most glorious summer (yes a bit rainy) but overall just perfect weather for walking around town, running down the west side highway and frolicking in the park.
