Eight Things: August

I believe it's important to take the time to reflect on the little things that make us happy, no matter how frivolous our perceptions may be. When I started the 'Eight Things' series, I promised myself I would do it on a weekly basis and well, as you probably noticed, that hasn't quite been the case.  In between my internship, summer traveling and my social agenda, this effort has been a bit of a challenge. I'm certain I'm not the only one with a relatively busy schedule, so here I am once again, reminding you to celebrate all the little things that currently bring you bliss. These are eight things that have made {my} August fabulous.
 

{ Pearls of wisdom from my scrapbook }

A glimpse into my scrapbook where I keep a collection of quotes, photographs, letters, souvenirs and artwork. On the left page is a letter my Grandmother wrote me the year I was born. On the right, a few quotes and a small painting I purchased from a street vendor in Paris.

I grew up by the ocean so nothing makes me feel more at home than a "beachy" feel and coastal accents.

I'm obsessing over statement pants at the moment and cannot wait to fill my closet with several pairs for Fall. Moreover, navy is so versatile, it can be combined with an array of complementary colors. Adding red accents to a navy ensemble is a personal favorite of mine, hence my choice in accessories above.
