Holy snow, right? It was snowing so insanely hard during our photo shoot, that we had a hard time taking photos where snowflakes weren't covering my face! I love it though, as crazy as that sounds. I love the Winter - the fresh, clean look of snow, and how peaceful and quiet everything seems after a snow fall. There's nothing like it. The part I hate about the Winter is the bitter cold, the ice, and the brown ugly stuff that comes after the snow settles. Every season has its perks and its downfalls though, so you have to take it as it comes. Funny how that can relate to life... everyone has the good, the bad, and even the ugly times, but as long as you can stop and appreciate the beautiful parts (like the calm before the storm, the quiet during a snow fall, or the freshness of the air after rainfall), then you'll be able to overcome anything.

Snapshots from New York

All images taken by myself

Oh New York, how I love you. I had the most amazing weekend in the city last weekend, and the busiest. I missed fashion week by a day (I know, SO disappointing), but it was worth it anyway. I visited my best friend, who pretty much booked up every hour of the whole weekend. We hit Juice Press (I absolutely need one of these in Columbus, ASAP), The Setai Spa for some massages, did some shopping of course, had brunch at Saxon + Parole (best bloody mary bar I've ever seen), checked out a new favorite cocktail bar of mine called Apotheke, ate dinner at En Japanese, went sight seeing, checked out Chelsea Market, and topped it off with some Valentine's day roses! What an amazing friend, right? My wallet is feeling it now, but it was all so very worth it.

This week has been insanely hectic, so much so that I didn't even have time to create a post yesterday! Sorry for the absence... I will do my best to keep up this week. Hopefully things slow down soon.

Isn't this necklace so gorgeous? I love the crystal detail (which is actually the clasp of the necklace). It's such a versatile piece... you can wear it like I am doing so here, double it up, or even wrap it around as a bracelet. It's not available on the Bella Beads Studio page right now, but it's for sale, so either message me or the owner (Kris) here! If you haven't already entered the giveaway for another gorgeous Bella Beads necklace, make sure you do so HERE!

I hope you're all having a great Wednesday!
