{ I wanted to bring my entire 2 full drawers worth of bikinis, but I guess that's not appropriate....so these will do. }
K hi. It's been awhile, everyone. With this cold and damp weather hitting the Carolinas, it's not a big surprise that pretty much everyone I've talked to has been in a little post-Daylight Savings Day (pitch black at 5:30pm isn't working for me, ok) slump.

{ Because silly fridge messages are my favorite, but I absolutely love this Maren Morris song + these lyrics. A little fridge motivation to kick start the week is always a good thing. Oh and these DIY gold magnets will be on the blog next week! }
We've made it to Friday, you guys! This deserves some sort of celebratory cheers in my book. As I jam out to my favorite Friday song (trust me, it's a must listen and is sure to put you in a good mood)...

This week has been difficult. I'm not here to throw a pity party for myself because well, everyone has these weeks. From being sick most of the week to feeling homesick, I've just felt off.

Wow. This week. Where do we even begin? Sometimes it's better to just let it all sink in without feeling the need to react. I'll be honest with you all.

{ Meeting of the creative minds calls for lots of vino. }
Every time I do one of these posts, I always mention how crazy the previous week was - you know the drill. From meetings to work to everything in between that fill up your calendar. Let's take a step back, shall we? Sometimes it's a little too easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of the week, that you don't stop and look around you and appreciate the little moments that make you smile. I'm guilty.

Well, it's here. Yesterday I broke out a cozy knit sweater, which basically is my wardrobes way of signifying a season change. Let's just say I'm ready for all the things that fulfill my definition of cozy...

{ You know I'm always down for a good Chuck picture. }
It was one of those weeks where every single day managed to feel like a Friday, even though it was only a Tuesday. Needless to say, it really felt like 2 weeks meshed into one.

{ I purchased a turntable and channeled my inner 60s music taste at heart. In this case 50s - hi, Billie. }
I’ve been scared to type in lipstickandlove in my toolbar and stare at the most recent post – July. Sigh.

These past 5 months have been filled with some pretty big changes, to say the least. At the end of November, I packed up my belongings in a few suitcases and took a chance on a new job and a new city.

Spring has sorta, kinda sprung and in the groundhogs defense, I’m more than ready for its appearance. Cue: All the blooms and pastels and floral prints galore.

{ I absolutely love these labels. Branding gets me every single time. }
There’s something about the end of the week that makes me giddy for my weekend adventures, which usually consist of sleeping late, French press coffee, and an occasional visit to the local farmers market. Boy do I love my weekends.

Thinking back to where I was a year ago and where I am now, I never would’ve imagined I’d have a new job – let alone be living in a new city. It’s funny how things tend to work themselves out (new post coming soon on just that) and fall together perfectly.

{ West Elm, you are stunning. I want to live in this piece of heaven. }
February is easily one of my least favorite months. Hear me out, it's bone chilling freezing and there's really nothing to look forward to except maybe Valentine's Day and even that's a stretch. Besides being forever cold, I've tried to keep myself busy and entertained these past few weeks, which have eerily flown by.

{ Of course the first thing on my exploration list was to find a coffee shop. Not Just Coffee is currently in the coffee shop lead, but I will most certainly keep you posted on other favorite spots. Maybe I'll even do a series on Charlotte coffee shops, stay tuned! }
Well hey there guys. I haven’t forgotten about you, don’t worry. I have, however, moved! Yep, if you didn’t hear it before, well you’ve heard it now. I am now living in Charlotte, the Queen City (more than appropriate. I kid. Ok, maybe not), and as much as I’ve been thrilled to tell you all about it – I have yet to do the telling. Here goes nothing.

{ That's me. Fully embracing my new city in a bear hug? }
Whoa. This week has been crazy. Actually scratch that, 'crazy' might not do it justice. On Monday, I officially accepted a job in Charlotte at an advertising agency. YES, I'm moving!

{ A peek of history. }
This week has been quite a whirlwind. A day trip to D.C., lovely fall-esque runs and some pretty incredible news coming to lipstick + love. Life is good, you guys! Life is good.

With Halloween planning in full swing (stay tuned for a DIY glitter shoe tutorial this week. Can you guess what I'm being? Surprisingly, it's not Snow White.), I've vowed to really embrace every part of the season.

Hi Friday, I missed you! Despite the chilly temps and the entire 10 day forecast predicting rain, I'm still ready for some time in all things cozy. Hello knits, sweaters and plaid!

{ A rope swing? Count me in. }
A long weekend full of nothing was way too perfect for this girl. I hit up my favorite coffee shop, Sweet Donkey, for endless cold brews, managed to knock out a lot of blog material and still found time to visit an 80' waterfall.

{ And I didn't even use my Tide-to-go pen. }
With the weekend here, I'm ready for some time to unwind before my next beach trip. If I've said it once, I've said it a million times - where has this summer gone? I'm not quite ready to let go of lake trips, warm weather and patio cocktails.
