I make a lot of music references, don't I?

Music is the soundtrack to my life! Whatever I'm doing is that much more enhanced when there are some good groves playing in the background.

When the Marni for H&M collection debuted, I'm not sure what I was doing but I definitely wasn't where I was supposed to be...in line at H&M! I think this was one of my favorite collaborations from H&M. Luckily, I went in DAYS after the opening day and stumbled across this cutie. I'm not sure how it was still in the store but it was there and in my size! Thank you, Father God. No further questions asked...

Two Things: Number one, I moved. Number two, moving sucks!

Now, that that is out of the way. There are a couple of life lessons that I have learned from this moving "experience":

1. Sometimes you have to leave something that you love in order to fully appreciate it. If you're lucky, you get the opportunity to get it back.
2. There are only a few times in life where you get a do-over, use it wisely.
3. Once you let someone into something that you value (heart, home, etc.), you're extremely fortunate if they leave it better than the way they found it.

When they announced emerald green as the color of the year, I thought "Really, Pantone? Green?!"

How do we make green the color of an entire year? 

But they may be on to something...

So, I was feeling a little colorful this day and the graffiti artwork on Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix complemented my outfit perfectly!

When it came to finding the perfect statement necklace for this outfit. I just couldn't choose between the Banana Republic Cleopatra necklace (similar here) or the David Aubrey Teardrop Bib necklace (similar here). So, I wore them both!
