My Would-Be New Years Eve

I have always dreamed of a glamorous, sparkly, champagne-filled, midnight kiss, type of New Years. Since I turned 21 this past year, I thought to myself...this is the year I will have the New Years I have always dreamed of.
Then reality sets in, in the form of a massive blizzard to the East Coast. My scheduled Tuesday (as in yesterday) flight to New York was delayed and now I am in Florida until Friday. It really isn't that bad, the weather is great and I love spending time with my family (even though too much togetherness happens occasionally, right D?), but I had plans for New Years Eve.
With my school friends and home friends scattered around, I was contemplating going to NYC, Rhode Island, Vermont, and even Albany. But since I am coming back to NY on New Years Eve, I doubt I will be having the sparkly NYE that I dreamed of...however, a girl can STILL dream of her perfect dress right?

Good Morning!

The sun is shining so bright today, and I am loving how warm it is, I didn't even need to wear a jacket today! Seriously, I am so happy right now!
So even though a posted about 2 hours ago (why was I even up?) I am going to post again...because this is my outfit post...duh!
Disclaimer: after my outfit descriptions I am just going to write a little about following your dreams: prepare to be inspired!


Today's outfit:
I am wearing my black cashmere French Connection sweater which has a slouchy turtleneck look. I love this sweater for 2 reasons. One, it is super comfortable and two, I got it on sale at Marshalls for $10. Cashmere for $10? French Connection for $10? I will take it! On my lower half, I am wearing my Forever21 jeggings...again. Wow, I just can't get enough. I seriously want a black pair, I wear them with everything. But on a real and practical note: they are so much warmer than cotton leggings. More fabric, more structured fit and perfect for the approaching winter. Lastly, I am wearing my new tall black BASS leather boots that I got while I was at home earlier this week! They are so comfortable and I already wore them once to my internship interview yesterday. By the way, sorry there was no post yesterday, I was super stressed out with...LIFE? Who knows, but that seems to be my excuse recently, life stress.

Anyway, on to the inspiration of this post (mainly for you D!):

Always follow your heart no matter what or where it tells you to go. I believe in trusting your heart because it has the purest and truest intentions for an individual. Everyone's heart is different and my heart will tell me to handle a situation totally different than yours would...that's why it's so special. There are so many people out there who will never understand why your heart tells you to do something a certain way, but that's not their problem. Live life in the direction your heart leads you and happiness will be sure to follow.

Remember:
"A good heart is better than all the heads in the world."
