At last, the New Year is upon us, my friends. I know what you’re thinking. Do we REALLY need another “goals for next year” post from you, Sami? Maybe not, but it helps guide me toward a freshly paved path. I am more than eager to extinguish the flame of this year’s past and begin […]
A Style Evolution
As Sweet Blog of Mine comes up on three years, I can’t help but be proud of myself for continuing to take risks with my sartorial choices. From experimenting with color, to dabbling in various textures and silhouettes, I am finally evolving into the person I want to be — from a stylistic standpoint, of […]
Falling for Fall
I find that the genesis of a new season ushers in a clean slate on multiple fronts – especially fall. Just as the leaves change color and split from the trees, we shed the parts of ourselves that have grown stagnant, relinquish the fears that once held us back, and part ways with relationships that […]
You vs. Time
Two hands, twelve numbers. Ticks and tocks, more commonly known as the haunting rhythmic reminder of the brevity of life. How can an inanimate object and an abstract concept dictate the way we go about our days? Why do we make ‘time’ the scapegoat for our unfulfilled dreams? We spend so much ‘time’ worrying about […]
Seeking Warmth
When you think “warmth”, your mind immediately jumps to sweatpants and faux fur jackets, the sound of your fireplace crackling and countless hours spent hiding under the covers until late April. Sounds pretty nice right about now, doesn’t it? More importantly than that, we should strive to derive warmth from within. The kind of warmth […]
We, Like Books
if you think about it, our live are essentially books. there’s the cover, a canvas of our own creation, painting portraits of our lives, as we’d like them to be observed by those around us. then there are the pages, chapters spilling our every wish, every desire, every mistake ever made. once written, they are […]
Into the Woods
When Jacob informed me that we’d be heading to Weston, Connecticut for Memorial Day, I couldn’t wait; the trip was a short, albeit necessary reprieve from the commotion of city life (which I love, of course). The absolute antithesis of New York City, Weston is a small town in Fairfield County, CT, that screams of serenity and tranquility. The […]
Detoxing: Why It’s Good for the Soul
Detox–it’s a word that carries so much meaning and importance, although the definition varies for each of us. For example, while the recent weather in New York has been “three-days-of-70-degrees-followed-by-a-weekend-of-rain-and-low-50s” deplorable, I’ve gotta give it up to Mother Nature for this break in blogging. It’s allowed me to hit the “reset” button and refocus my time […]
Springing Back to the ’70s (Again)
When life hands you a wind tunnel, make it your bitch…for real. Shooting photos isn’t all fun and games when weather conditions pertinent to a concrete jungle refuse to GTFO, but why let that stop you? Work with it and I swear, the wind will do your bidding, even when your gut and freezing body are […]
Red Velvet Delight
){kind=link}
Ah, holiday season – a time when nothing but Christmas music plays over the airwaves, families and friends join together, and “it’s lit” becomes the most overused millennial phrase of the year. It is also a time to bust out every velvet piece you own and SLEIGH all winter long. Yup. Bad pun. Don’t care. I truly can’t account […]
