Shine Bright My Neon Light

It still hasn't hit me yet that 2012 is now officially behind us. I couldn't be happier with how last year went and it gives me high hopes for what 2013 will bring. Never has one year alone brought so many fresh, new experiences. One after another. Swift and steady like a rolling stone. I'm smiling ear to ear just thinking about it. My heart is shining bright like the neon pink embroidery on this Free People dress that is one of my all-time favorites right now. It also makes a rad and unexpected party dress! White and neon pink together take the dreariness out of the grey and sometimes excruciating cold days of winter. All we can do is bundle up the best we can and face the cold with a grin until spring comes. But no matter how icky it is outside, each day is still distinctively beautiful. Always and forever. Staying in and bundling up with a good book and some classical music or the Una Mattina album by Ludovico Einaudi is by far the best thing about this season.

The past three weeks have been amazing and I feel rejuvenated and re-injected with a spirit of inspiration and drive for the new year. I hope you all feel this way, too.
