Old Endings + Exciting New Beginings

Hi Friends! I have been procrastinating on this post a little bit [ok, a month bit] because it is a tough one to write -- but here goes: I am saying goodbye to a {little} dash of ash. While I love my little space here on the blogosphere, I feel that my current blog no longer truly reflects who I am today. I started this blog when I was single, living in Ohio, and had a whole lot of extra time to browse the web for lovely inspirations. That feels like a lifetime ago. Everything just seems a little bit different these days. But, good different...

Since then, I have met and fallen in love with my soul mate, got engaged, started planning a wedding, and am currently packing up my life in Philadelphia to start my new life in NYC with my fiancé! At age 30, all of my dreams have come true -- dream fiancé, dream city, dream apartment [in the West Village] and dream new job! :)

My focus has shifted from finding wonderful things to share as inspiration on the internet to making wonderful things happen in our new life. It is very important to me to create a lovely life for Alejandro and I together in NYC. I want to spend the summer decorating our new apartment, planning a beautiful wedding, and most importantly discovering our new city together before our jobs kick in and life gets, well, crazy, again.

But at the end of the summer, I have plans [already in motion] to start a new blog documenting our new life together. It's going to be a little bit different than a {little} dash of ash, but I just couldn't walk away from the blogosphere completely. It's become apart of me. I just need a new space to create in. So... if you are interested in keeping up with myself, Alejandro, our wedding plans, our travels and the lovely city of New York -- please subscribe to receive a notification when my new blog goes live! :)


In the mean time, please keep up with me on {instagram}, {pinterest} & {tumblr}!

A BIG thank you to everyone who has followed me for the past 2 years! Your daily comments, emails and support has always meant so much to me! I hope you will follow me on the next journey of my life. xoxo.
