Summer in the City

I'm a big online shopper. In all honesty, I probably prefer it over in-store shopping. I don't have to get in my car. I don't have to get dressed. I don't have to talk to anyone. And the best part is, I can shop stores based out of just about anywhere. This is ones of the many reasons I love discovering cute little online shops. 

My newest discovery is The Atelier--an adorably chic online boutique and studio based out of Philadelphia. They specialize in stationery, delicate jewelry, and accessories. I'm seriously in love with everything. Their luxe aesthetic gives off a cool girl Parisian vibe, one that I can't get enough of. The stripes, the gold, the simplicity...swoon. The type of person that wears The Atelier is the type of person that I want to be.

Now is the perfect time to shop The Atelier. Their brand new summer collection, Summer in the City, is now available. All of my favorites from the collection are shown above. Seriously, once you check it out, you're going to want the entire collection!

"Her style is timeless and effortless and she prefers quality over quantity. She dreams of Paris and has an incurable case of wanderlust. She runs on coffee and occasionally champagne. She re-reads the classics and still sends snail mail. She borrows from the boys, but always adds a feminine twist."

Life Lately

It's been awhile. No, really. It's been a long while, and I'm just a little bit ashamed/in awe of how long I've gone without blogging. In the almost month since I've been gone, a few things have happened.


I began my new job. I now work in the merchandising department for a major retailer in the southeast.

I became accustomed to some crazy new hours. Seriously, I wake up a little after 6:00am every morning and don't get home until around 6:00 in the evenings. That took some adjusting, and my coffee intake has definitely increased.

I joined the iPhone world! I know, I'm late to the party, but I'm settling in nicely so far.

I went through a break up--if you could even call it. Point is, I've reclaimed my spot in the single world. Still trying to figure out how I feel about it.

I slowly but surely have been revamping my wardrobe. My old job was all pencil skirts, blazers, and panty hose (ew). My new job is way more laid back. Seriously, I see kimonos on a daily basis. Now I feel like I can finally dress in my style. I'm getting rid of clothes I hope I'll never have to wear again and replacing them with clothes I actually enjoy wearing. It's a pleasant change.

I'm steadily reverting back to life pre-boyfriend. I am now able to devote more time to things I have neglected in the past few months. It's a change--not having a constant someone to talk to and go places with--but I can't say I hate it. Change is just change. It brings both good and bad with it. I've adjusted before. I know I can do it again.
