Never forget

9.11.01

Where were you? 

Me?

I was a freshmen at college when I got the frantic phone call from my mother telling me what has happened. I didn't believe what she was saying was true. So, in disbelief I turned on the television where the nightmare as Americans began...

I couldn't understand the world we lived in was no longer safe. There were evil people that were willing to take innocent people's lives and for what? To prove that the Middle East has taken everything from us.

9.11 was such a sad day for everyone but I couldn't imagine what the people who lost loved ones on the day were feeling. The loved ones in the plane, the buildings, or the brave firemen trying to save lives. 

What this day has taught all of us is how United we are. I feel everyone honored and loved this country a little more by the events that happened that fateful day.

So, take a moment reflect why you love this country and remember as Americans we stand united.

In other news, today is my dads birthday! 

Yes, a former bomber fighter jet shares a birthday with 9.11 events.

Fashion week 2016

It is the start of New York fashion week!!

Yesterday Lauren Conrad made her debut back to the runway! I just love her esthetic, it is so feminine, and in touch with today's woman. Best pet is her looks are affordable to the everyday woman!! Can't wait to get these looks in spring!!

So tell me which look is your favorite??

Mine has to be what Lauren is wearing or the pink coat with sparkly dress!

Planners

Planners!

I do not about you guys but I am very old fashioned when it comes to detailing my work and social schedule!

 I cannot use my iPhone for my calendar and weekly schedule! I do not know why but I love the sense of writing out my schedule for the week,all of my social events, birthdays, weddings, you name it!! 

2015 is coming to an end which makes me even more excited to buy a brand new clean, untouched crisp planner!! So here are some of my favorites!

1) Kate spade. I have had the stripe one, the polka dot one and this would be my third! maybe???

2) lily Pulitzer- so feminine and girly. But this is very similar to Kate spade. 

Possibly???

3) large gold planner from paper source. It's very plain, simple and something I would have used in college. Not sure this is it!

4) florabunda- so beautiful and best part it comes with stickers!! Who doesn't love stickers??!! Unfortunately, this one is sold out everywhere! So I have to wait a bit if I want this one!  Love it!!

These are my picks! What is everyone else's favorites??

My weekend

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a blessed and wonderful weekend. I know I did!! 

My husband and I celebrated our one year anniversary in Monterey, where we got married. It was so surreal. To think what was happening a year ago on the day. Made me a little sad because that was truly the  best day of our lives! My best friend said it best. It will be the only time in your lives where all your family and friends will be at the same place to celebrate with you!! 

So what did we do....

Earlier in the week he gave me these beautiful roses!! Aren't they gorgeous!!

I made him our vows to hang up in our home. I was told one year is paper...

Then we made it to our hotel where we had his and hers drinks. Can you tell which one is mine?? Hahah

We cruised the streets of Monterey.

Had lunch at our wedding spot!!

Walked along the beach....

Had dinner with this guy!! Elevator pictures are a must!!

Sadly said goodbye!!

It truly was a remarkable weekend with this wonderful husband of mine! Looking forward to celebrating many more anniversaries and memories together!
