I celebrated my 27th birthday this past week and it was filled with confetti, ranunculus, stripey straws and champagne. I always find myself reflecting more on the past year on my birthday rather than on New Year’s Eve, and usually set new goals and reassess the last year during March.

26 was a great, but there have been so many changes and the biggest two of all, the move to Philadelphia and a new job, that I’m very ready to have a stable, simple life for a while. It’s been wonderful, but I now enjoy more of the little trips and breaks I take to smell the roses. I still have goals and exciting new ventures on the horizon, but for now, I’m enjoying the early spring weather and taking time to relax. Or maybe I’m just getting old… !

Cheers to a new year!

I took last week off to visit Ohio and it was just the break that I needed. I visited with my college girlfriends, ate Jeni’s, upgraded my phone, brunched at Tasi, shopped at Homage and took home a one-of-a-kind S, that lights up with neon inside! (Thanks to my dad and sister :)

I’m back in the swing of things this week and starting today, I’m officially a full-time Interactive Designer at Anthropologie! I’ve been freelancing full-time since September, and it feels good to finally be official.

Here’s wishing you a great week and a very productive Monday!
