breakfast fest.
This past Sunday was my first time EVER making french toast! I've never been a huge fan (I know...I'm crazy) but I think it's because I never really gave it a fare shot over my beloved over easy eggs. When my mom told me she wanted french toast for her Mother's Day breakfast, I immediately started my research and landed on a recipe from the Barefoot Contessa. I never realized how simple it was to make, and now it's on, french toast every Sunday (well maybe every other Sunday!) Best of all, mom loved it and she deserves every bit!

Style Profile.
Today marks a week since I've come back to blogging! This time around I've decided to capture my day to day style, something I've always admired in blogs but never tried. I scour Pinterest daily for the newest street style looks, so why not post a little taste of my style. Enjoy!

I'm back!!
Some days it feels as though I’m floating through life,
unsure of what I really want to take away from this world. Lately I feel as though I’m neglecting
my creative side, which can make one feel lost when it is so important. I find
myself asking that quarter life crisis question…what do I want to do when I
grow up?
I have my 9-5 assistant job that doesn’t exactly require my Fashion Degree but leaves me satisfied…for now. I know I’m a small seed but I’m planting my foot and building connections. When it comes to work, I’m a product of my Capricorn blood: hardworking, organized and focused. I enjoy the struggle (and even stress sometimes…isn’t that sick?) of getting the job done, because the taste of accomplishment is such a sweet reward. It’s a fulfillment that a lot of people might not understand.
Of course there are the other crucial elements in my life: art, music and fashion. These are all fine and good, but I’m a realist and need to have money in my pocket to survive, especially on my tastes! Like a normal woman in her 20’s I have no idea what I want to do, in other words, I can’t pin point where I’ll be in 10 years! (Wait, is this normal?) All I know is that I need a healthy dose of everything important to me: fulfilling work, art, fashion, music, and love…(let’s hope that boy shows up soon!). Right when I felt I was losing my mind, I did a daily check to Cupcakes and Cashmere last week and found my omen! It was a post on Fast Company’s article about Creative Director and President of J.Crew, Jenna Lyons. A true style maven with a career to covet!
After reading this article I felt inspired and a sort of satisfaction, like I could breathe again. Although I’m still the assistant, I’ve realized that I like what I do and I know I’m slowly and steadily laying the bricks for my career path. I just can’t allow myself to get stuck somewhere in the cement (some of you will get that). In other words, I’m on the right course.
