Can you guys believe how quickly 2018 is passing? We are almost at the halfway point, and I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it! May is one of my favorite months and because it's brand new, it also means I'm linking up with Anne in Residence for current happenings/updates.
Currently...
1. Wearing: a new necklace that I've had my eye on since this post (it's even prettier in person). My love of layered jewelry continues, and it's fun coming up with new combinations. I'm also wearing the heck out of this pleated camisole, both on its own and underneath a cardigan on chilly days. As for the beauty department, I went back to a trusted foundation I used in my twenties. It's the perfect finish to combat an oily complexion. And my best friend got me this perfume over Christmas and I love the sweet, floral scent layered with my beloved Kai oil.
2. Celebrating: said best friend's birthday next week! Anyone else love attending other people's parties more than your own? Less stress really. Katie loves to travel (pictured below in Barcelona) so I'm still trying to figure out what to get her...
3. Going: to a Kentucky derby party with a cinco de Mayo flare on Saturday in Orange County. We went last year and had a great time.
4. Creating: less clutter and noise by deep cleaning, tossing out, and re-organizing everything. My loft area is still a question mark. I'd like for it to double as an office space, but I can't quite utilize it in a way that actually serves as a productive place to get real work done. At the moment, it isn't very functional.
5. Sharing: or shall I say, my lack thereof. In March when my girlfriend's and I met up with Gina for her Kendra Scott party, they all sort of dared me to go one week without checking Instagram. I didn't think it would be possible, but I did it. In fact, I went almost two weeks. Ever since, I'm trying to find my balance. I feel obligated to share for many reasons, but I also find myself overwhelmed with keeping up, posting the "right" pictures, and failing to grow my following. I think this balance is unique to everyone. Thoughts?
Thank you for reading! What does your month look like?
