My jaw dropped at the sight of this lovely girl photographed in London by Vanessa Jackman. Isn’t she stunning? Her eye makeup also happens to be perfect. I’m going to have try a similar subtle cat-eye one night this week! Did I mention she has a personal style blog, Gary Pepper…? So chic.
What I would give for a day at the beach! And that fabulous zebra beach towel…
1/ Zebra Hide Beach Towel (also comes in blue and grey!) 2/ Mint Garden Studs (so glam, also darling in pink!) 3/ Scalloped Bikini Top and Scalloped Hipster Bottom 4/ Sandals (under $20, perfect for the sand…) 5/ Lacquered Rattan Clutch 6/ Thin Scalloped Bangle (so dainty, so chic!)
I was so busy with the magazine this week I never found time to type this up. Without further ado, my personal goals for 2013…
1. Stand on my own two feet. This one is accompanied by a bit of news – after much thought, John and I have decided to get divorced. Thankfully we have remained good friends and while he and Wallace have found a new home, we will surely have pug play dates in the future. I am so thankful to have this opportunity as a young woman to find out more about who I am — and to work towards the woman I want to be. In 2013 I hope to welcome new beginnings…
2. Volunteer. I am lucky to have a flexible work schedule and look forward to dedicating time in 2013 to give back. On Tuesday evening I went to an awesome orientation for New York Cares and was blown away by all of opportunities available. I think I may begin by volunteering with children in a local classroom or homeless shelter. I can’t wait to get started! In 2013 I hope to make a difference…
3. Eat well. For years I’ve suffered from horrible migraines and six weeks ago began eating gluten-free. It’s been a huge adjustment (if you follow me on instagram you know I used to consider cupcakes a meal!), but I haven’t had a migraine since and I feel fantastic. It’s easy to make poor food choices when I’m tired and stressed, but it’s time I start taking responsibility for my health. In 2013 I hope to eat more greens…
4. Travel abroad. Any suggestions? It’s been years since I’ve been overseas. I’m eager to save up and see some new sights. I may invite a girlfriend or even go solo. I’m excited by the possibilities. In 2013 I hope to explore a new country…
5. Blog more often. I’ve missed posting here and look forward to doing it far more often this year. Your thoughtful comments always make my day and I find the experience of sharing my life and interests with you incredibly fulfilling. You never cease to inspire me in return. In 2013 I hope to share and reflect…
What are your resolutions? Do we have any in common? Thank you for reading and more importantly, for your friendship. xx Katie

I just about died when I stumbled upon this real estate listing on RDuJour. Who wants to move to London with me? Okay, so the £8,500,000 price tag may be a bit steep, but just look at the space! I love all the architectural details and cozy grey paint job. A girl can dream…
