Hearts and sleeves
“Never apologize for showing feelings. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.”
- Benjamin Disraeli.
In love, in laughter, in work and in friendship. Say what you think, what you mean, and what is honest and authentic.

Amazing friends.
I've had some of the best times over the last few weeks with some of the most amazing people I know. But the best part? Laughing til my stomach hurts, figuring out the meaning of life, working out work with my incredible girlfriends. Knowing they are there for you, giving you back all you put in to them. Being able to say exactly what you think, tear up sometimes, be on a dancefloor til 5.30am. That's the stuff life is made off. Now, that is beautiful.

I heart NY
"There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter--the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these trembling cities the greatest is the last--the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York’s high strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives give it solidity and continuity, but the settlers give it passion."

The tough sh*t in life makes you who you are (and that's kind of beautiful)
"And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened."
- Douglas Coupland, Life after God

Feeling the road under your pounding feet
The feeling of running away from all your problems. And running toward the best of the day. That glorious rhythmic pounding on the road.

Prioritise this.
"You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage – pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically – to say ‘no’ to other things. And the way to that is by having a bigger ‘yes’ burning inside. The enemy of the ‘best’ is often the ‘good’."
- Stephen Cove

Outfit of the week
via Citizen Couture
I never wanted to post about Olivia Palermo on this blog, on principle. But the girl has exquisite taste, so I can no longer get away with it. This DVF Eavis cardigan in bright blues paired with a floaty neutral dress? Divine.
Starting to feel like a Kempo black belt again.
Feeling strong is super cool. I've started wearing my black belt medallion for the first time in since early 2010. I feel deserving of it again.
