Ahhh! It’s here! I’m officially 25-years-old. I was laying in bed last night, thinking about how fast this last year has flown by. Didn’t I just turn 24?! At the same time, so many life-changing events have occurred since then. My boyfriend and I made our big move to San Francisco, I took the leap to pursue a dream that has occupied my mind for years, and as of this week I can officially say that I am the proud business owner of The City Blonde LLC. Yes, this year has flown by, but it has undoubtably been one of the most significant years of my life. I’ve learned to value the opinion I have of myself over the opinions of others. I’ve learned that life is too short to let the opinions of others affect how you lead your life, or keep you from living a life that you truly, whole-heartedly love. Even if it isn’t the so-called “norm.” I think what I’m trying to say is that I feel I came into my skin over the last year. I feel more me than I have ever felt. I feel alive. Motivated. Loved. I have a vision of what I want to accomplish, and a plan of how to get there. At 25, I am so proud of where I am today.

AHHH! It’s my last day as a 24-year-old! I’m not going to lie, i’ve had serious mixed feelings about turning 25. But i’ve come to grips because age is just a number, and I plan to stay and feel young for a very long time ; ) Patrick is taking me on a surprise getaway this weekend for my birthday. He makes me feel indescribably lucky every single day, but I love how excited he gets to spoil me extra on special occasions. He LOVES to surprise me. I’m not big on surprises. In fact, I kind of hate them. I am a control freak and like to have everything planned out so that I can be prepared. What clothes should I bring? Fancy or casual? What’s the weather going to be like? I have so many questions with so little answers. Yet, he continues to surprise me with trips and plans that are way better than I could have imagined. I’ve learned to let go and trust that no matter where I end up, I will have an incredible time because I am with him. I mean.. Last year for my birthday he told me all I need to pack is a swimsuit and we ended up in Punta Cana, Mexico. Do I have a winner or what?Read More

Hi everyone! May is my favorite time of year. Apart from the fact that it’s my birthday month, the weather is amazing and everything is starting to bloom. Such a magical time of year! I love fit & flare dresses because of how flattering they are. When I saw this one from Pink Lily Boutique I knew I had to have it. It’s also under $50 which is just crazy to me!

It’s perfect for outdoor parties, and I swear people will always be asking where you got it! It’s the perfect way to add a little glam into your everyday life!Read More
