A rose is a rose. <+ a giveaway!>

A woman will always appreciate a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. Flowers breathe life into even the grayest of days which make them the fail proof gift. As Mother's Day looms around the corner, I can't help but appreciate a gorgeous bouquet. It fits every size, shape, color and mood of a woman.

Planning a trip to New Orleans.

I am on the countdown for my birthday getaway and I couldn't be more excited. Next stop: New Orleans! I've never been but I am ready for all the amazing food, architecture and color.

I bought it at my girlfriend's boutique - Sanems - and she advised that I could wear it with tights in the winter but I haven't been that brave.

It's not about being a #girlboss at all...

It's cliché and I use the term myself but really...what is a girlboss? It's a term we've beaten to death. It all began so innocently thanks to Sophia and I think it was the start of a new era. An era where women were empowered to step up and mark their territory in the work force. In a way, we owe her so much for starting this movement and there have been many more important ones to follow.
