Manic Monday

If it has to be Monday, we can at least have a little fun...

I got my first taste of what a 7-day work week feels like and it's quite exhausting I tell you. This is going to be a long 4 weeks! Here's to some relaxing images...

I start my new job today, so wish me luck! I spend the first 5 weeks training, so I'm not too worried; I know my brain will snap right back into learning mode easily! There's a lot going on this week, building up to my mom and sister coming into town for the weekend. I hope your week is sunny, productive, and you make time for a little fun!

I love neon colors, don't you? They're so invigorating and inspiring! The perfect way to start off a new week.

Do you feel Spring in the air? It's starting to warm up which means the snow has finally melted! I'm currently ignoring the prediction of flurries later on in the week. On a positive note, I became an official resident of Kentucky today! I haven't had a good drivers license picture since I was 17, so it was a relief to know that I'll no longer get funny looks when showing my ID. Fashion Week has made its way to London and I can't wait to see what a few designers have in store, like Burberry, Henry Holland, and Vivienne Westwood. Have a great week, friends! P.S. how cute is that dog?!?

You know the drill.. let's have some fun!

Snow, snow, and more snow! I feel like it's taking far too much time for the old snow to melt and the new snow is cramping my spring style. I've yet to go through all of the new Fall collections from New York Fashion Week, but I'm hearing that some are pretty outstanding, so can't wait to see what's out there! I'll have plenty of time this week to do that since I'm only working a couple of concentrated days: meaning I get to spend mucho money on becoming an official resident of Kentucky, applying for more countless jobs that I'll probably never hear from, and continuing the slow unpacking of my bedroom. Here's to a productive week!

A new year means new beginnings, step into the sun and feel renewed...




Welcome to the new year! Any good stories from the holidays? I'm sure there are, there always are! The new year officially means that 'the holiday season' in retail has come to a close, which I'm terribly happy about. Today is my second day off in a row and I'm a little afraid I won't want to go back! It's been wonderful, though, getting to do things at my leisure and be keeper of my own time. I hope your holiday break was relaxing and refreshing, because I have a feeling 2010 will be a big year, but more on that later... Happy Monday, friends, and do something great this week!
