Time-Lapse Fireflies by Vincent Brady

I completely fell in love with this time-lapse compilation of fireflies by Vincent Brady, primarily shot in Lake of Ozarks, Missouri. I remember moving from Brooklyn to upper New York and seeing fireflies for the very first time as a little girl. It was such a magical experience, and I still look forward to when the fireflies come out each summer. This video brought me back to those magical summer nights. Just beautiful work.I hope you all have a beautiful week!

I can't get over the natural beauty of these frozen bubbles. The pattern the ice makes looks just like delicate translucent feathers. As soon as it hits the negatives in Idaho, I'm doing this! 

I hope you al had a lovely Christmas!

Latest Obsession: Elle & Blair Clutches

You've been there: you hear your phone ringing, and you dive into your bag to grab it. In the meantime, you pick up 3 or 4 things that you think are your phone, and by the time you actually rescue your phone from the eternal abyss that is your handbag, you've missed your call. I think I have this problem 2 or 3 times a day.Now, I love over-sized bags when I need them for school books and long trips, but when it comes to every day life, I really only need the basic necessities like my phone, keys, wallet, and lip balm. 

The solution? A clutch meant strictly for your phone and a few other necessities. Luckily, Elle & Blair have you covered with their beautiful Roasted Walnut clutch from their Wild Wild Bliss collection for Cellairis. I absolutely LOVE this bag! It's perfect for all the essentials, whether you're going to a party or just going to the mall. It's light weight, super chic, and I love using it.
