An Open Letter to Women
As a woman who has gained a small spotlight in the world, I want to set an example for other girls and let them know that who you are is worth fighting for. It will be a hard won battle, where people will constantly be trying to change who you are or tear you down. I just want to let anyone who feels this way know, that you should never sacrifice who you truly are. Life will be so much more satisfying being who you want to be. And I wish you the best of luck.
There's a quote I saw recently and that I thought really sums up how I feel I want to live my life.
"Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women." Nora Ephron
Have a great week. Much Love,
Lindsey

Lustful Fridays #13 (Bad Luck? NO WAY)
It's lucky number Lustful Fridays the 13th! Does this mean bad things? Gosh I hope not. I'm pretty sure we should just keep on truckin'. Hopefully your Friday is fantastic and full of all the wonderful things you could ever wish for. Here are some things I'm wishing for!
Yummmmm Butterbeer Frappachino. This little guy is one of the special fraps on Starbuck's "secret menu". I put it in quotes because it's Starbucks sanctioned, you just have to ask for the right bits in the recipe of your drink and voila, secrets become reality. I always wonder what to do with those freebies I get with all my Starbucks stars in the app and now I am going to start trying all of these drinks! Starting with the Harry Potter related one, duh!
I am still not eating pie, so I am always searching for things that look like pie, or taste like pie, but are healthier. I'm not sure these are actually better for you, but I'm willing to try them out, feel a little like Fall and indulge in some pie-like goodness.
As some of you budding fashionista might know, it is Paris Fashion Week. All of the Spring goodness is flooding the runways and I am getting so excited for what is to come. I never get to buy any of this stuff in real life, I just go to H&M or Zara to hit the inspired by pieces, but I can still get excited for what's to come. The crop top is still having it's moment in the sun (thank goodness because I love it), and how about these pants. This outfit is Balmain, which is definitely out of my price range, but how lovely will it be when there are some printed pieces like this for us regular girls?
Anyone who has taken a quick look around my house knows that I am obsessed with having plants around. I think having things growing brings good energy and better air to your living space. Does science back that up? Not sure, but I still believe it. I love these little cacti in all different colors. I am totally making one of these in my house.
Speaking of plants, how about this adorable little Mr. King wannabe in his Chia Pet outfit? So stinking cute.
I'm still on the lookout for awesome office stuff. These pastel colored accessories are exactly what I'm looking for. Maybe I can even just paint some of my plain white ones to match my tangerine dream room! Ombre orange boxes perhaps? I think so!
I am obsessed with these shoes. Ever since dying my hair pink I know always think, "I NEED ALL THE PINK THINGS" I would be towering over Danny, but whatevs. Look how fun they are!
Another favorite from PFW... this amazing trench from Lanvin. So pretty and feminine. I need to get me a trench for Fall.
And my last fav from Paris is this Balmain jumpsuit. It comes in red too and is just amazing. I love jumpsuits and am glad they're sticking around for another season.
That's it for this week! What are you obsessing over right now?
Much Love,
Lindsey

Motivational Tuesdays #5
Everyone always asks me how to get a bikini body? My answer is and always will be: just put on a bikini. Confidence is your best asset. Exercise won't hurt, but everyone feels uncomfortable sometimes. It's just about playing up your best assets and being happy with yourself!
Much Love,

Love Songs Playlist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=450p7goxZqg
"All of Me" John Legend
Ok, I so I just completely contradicted myself. This one is so obviously a love song. But, I love how it talks about the imperfections of their relationship, but that it doesn't really matter. That's true love. Plus, how could you not love Chrissy Teigen?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ELh8eOzq_0
"Kanye" The Chainsmokers
Because nobody loves anyone like Kanye loves Kanye.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaI5JCxOCdw
"Waiting Game" Banks
This song is so sad to me. Nothing like tour getting in the middle of a budding relationship. Listening to the songs just isn't the same when the person is gone. It's a moving and sad love song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYc9NPiVw7c
"Photograph" Ed Sheeran
Nobody writes a good love song like Ed Sheeran. This guy kills it. Yes, it's another song about the guy being away and hoping she'll wait for him to come home. Tour songs hit such a note with me because it's such an integral part of Danny and my relationship. There's some pretty good advice for making things work in this song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PSAxJfN1D4
"Paperweight" Joshua Radin
This was my favorite song when Danny and I first started dating. They're voices are perfect together and it reminds me of young love. Ah, those were the days. So innocent and silly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg00YEETFzg
"We Found Love" Rihanna
This song almost always brings me to tears. It describes pretty well how I felt when Danny and I weren't together. I always missed him so much and just didn't want to move on. It also makes me really sad that Rih wrote this for Chris Brown. He doesn't deserve something so beautiful to be about him even if it is brought on by the emotion of being involved with him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok2tZ9oWMRM
"Miserable at Best" Mayday Parade
Speaking of crying... grab a tissue real quick. This one's a killer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9d164fwsSA
"Tautou" Brand New
This is hands down my favorite song ever written. I know it's an intro to entire amazingly awesome album, but something about this always gets me. There are only two lines in the whole song, repeated over and over. "I'm sinking like a stone in the sea. I'm burning like a bridge for your body." That just sounds like how love feels sometimes. Really amazing, but also really, really hard. I don't know how to explain why I love that so much, it just has always been my favorite.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOM4WWCh7GQ
"You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic" A Day to Remember
I love how this song sounds just metal, and then you pay attention to the lyrics and it's a super sad breakup song. "I miss your family and I miss all our friends"... It gets a little aggressive at the end with the "All of the things that you love, are all the things that I hate", but this is one of those songs that is so much deeper than you realize from the first listen.
Well, I'm not exactly sure this playlist turned out so positive. There's a lot of sad love songs, but still lovely. Now everybody go get some chocolate as this was kind of depressing and we now deserve it :)
Much Love,
Lindsey

Lustful Fridays #12
Happy Friday from Tampa International Airport! We are on our way to Boston for the wedding and I have a little time to write out some things I loved this week. Here goes nothin':
First off, This little guy is in my budget. Despite all my minimalist tendencies, I also gravitate toward statement pieces that add something interesting to any outfit. That's why I love Mara Hoffman so much (more on that later). I could be wearing a neutral outfit and add a funky bag to give it a little more personality. I love that.
I found this lovely Alexander Wang bag on Eva Chen's Pinterest page. She's the editor of Lucky, has impeccable taste and takes some of the best Instagram pics ever. This bag is gorgeous. I think I am very minimalist at heart. I love neutrals and black. This might be my new aspire to bag. It's just hard to imagine spending the money on it. I guess I will just love it from afar for now <3
I've been thinking a lot lately about getting some new ink. I only have my lip tattoo so far and wouldn't mind getting a little something. I have my heart set on getting it on my forearm-ish area and have it say something mermaid-y. These are two little ones that I think are perfect. Danny's not too fond of the idea, but I'm still holding on to hope he'll come around. Either way, I can do what I want, it just would be more fun if he was into it too.
Gabi, who is my partner in crime at work, pointed out how awesome burgundys look with my new pink hair. She even talked me into buying a new sweater yesterday just because it matched my hair. In our defense, it does look awesome. But now I want to wear dark reds and burgundys everywhere. Coincidentally, Urban Decay came out with their Naked3 palette pretty recently and it is chock full of bronzey reds, rose golds and in general, perfect colors for my skin tone and new hair color. I don't usually wear a lot of eyeshadow, but when in Rome right? I should be getting my first Naked palette early next week.
So I know that the sneaker wedge has been around for a little while and that it's probably about time for it to go out of style, but I just love it. I think it's so stinking cute and should probably bite the bullet and grab a pair for myself. These are Isabel Marant and are definitely not cheap, but I bet I can find something similar pretty easily that I will love just as much. Great shoes for Fall right?
This orange leather skirt has my heart. I have no idea where it's from, but it's tangerine dream-y for sure. I don't wear a lot of leather because Florida. But this doesn't seem so bad. I'm going to definitely be searching the racks for this in the upcoming months.
We are in desperate need for some funky pillows for our new couch (I know, first world probs). I love the couch itself, but it came with all these whack-ass throw pillows that match the "theme" of the couch. I think they're ugly and plan on slowly switching them out for more fun ones, such as these mermaid-ish pillows. Hopefully Danny won't notice hehe.
I am obsessed with these Janis Bells by Novella Royale. They're a cotton blend so super comfy and really stinkin' cute. We carry them in Shore, but they always sell out before I can get a pair. It won't happen this time though. As soon as the next round arrives, they're mine!
And last but not least, I put in Shore's order for Mara Hoffman's Spring Collection and I can't wait to get the shorter dress version of this jumpsuit. I love this print. Good job Mara!
Alright y'all, my plan for the weekend is to post as many pictures of Boston and wedding festivities as humanly possible. Keep an eye out and tell me what you think in the comments!
Much Love,
Lindsey
