It’s almost the middle of January and I’m sure many of our New Year’s resolutions are already abandoned, but even if they are, you can always set a few new ones. Because, why not?

Have you kept your 2013 New Year resolutions, or are you already on your second string?

Let’s just say I’ve had a complicated relationship with animal prints, one growing from absolute hate to absolute love. I’ve come to see what an amazing basic animal prints can be, especially paired with the rich hues from Fall/Winter collections, like burgundy, rich browns, and Pantone’s 2013 color of the year: emerald.

The irony is now I’m living in NJ and loving animal prints – does this make me a Jersey girl? 

What are your thoughts on animal prints?

I wanted to share a few things that brought me joy this weekend; somethings I think savoring the little things is the only way to fully appreciate life.
