Yesterday afternoon my sister and I stopped in at a small cafe off main street to get a cup of cocoa.  We sat at a table next to the window, it was a breezy day and the leaves on the tree outside were tossing back and forth in the wind and sending bits of sunlight and shadow dancing across the top of our table.  “Look how pretty that is,” I said.  We stopped talking and watched for a minute and then my sister said, “I feel like everyday should have at least one moment of wonder and amazement, otherwise why are we even here.”

And that got me thinking about how I live my life on a daily basis.  How many times do I count a day as kind of a wash.  It’s just a laundry day, or an errand day.  I’ll just get through it.  But really, every day is important, because it’s part of the whole that makes up your life, and sooner or later all those “whatever” days become the tone of it all.  Something about the way my sister said that made me want to stop a little more and find reasons to wonder, to laugh a lot more, to wear what I love.  I don’t think I want any of my days to ever be a wash.

This is my new design, the first of our fall line out the gate and our very first limited edition.  I love this skirt.  I spent a lot of time obsessing over every detail of it and now that it’s ready, I adore wearing it.  It makes me feel carefree and put together at the same time.  I even feel taller when I’m wearing it, and let’s face it, that’s basically a miracle.  Happy Wednesday!

Head on over to instagram, we’re giving away a skirt today…

    I’ve been wanting to buy one of your skirts for the longest time, but was trying to keep in my budget. This, though, I couldn’t resist. Absolutely gorgeous!

    This post is beautiful. What a lovely reminder of the magic all around us. It reminds me of the line from a OneRepublic song…”Hope that you spend your days And they all add up And when that sun goes down Hope you raise your cup.”

    Loved the little video too and the zipper detail you put on the back of the skirt.

    my daughter loved watching that video, as soon as the music started she started bopping her little head. Kids are always looking for those little moments and never let a day pass as a wash. We could learn a thing or two, I guess. The new skirt is fab, it may be the one that finally makes me cave!!!
