I had the flu over two weeks ago, but it wasn’t until yesterday that I finally started to feel more like myself. I still have a gnarly cough, but it was no small success that I was able to squeeze in a trip to the farmers’ market, the car wash, and out for high tea at the Montage with friends (my annual tradition during the Super Bowl), without feeling like I needed a 4-hour nap. It’s good to be on the road to recovery – at the very least to have the energy to put my hair up in an actual style and wear heels for an extended period of time.

    Love brooches! I feel like the younger crowd doesn’t “get them” or wear them but they’re so beautiful! Just another way to wear something super sparkly/feminine. I really want a brooch to wear with my scarves in the winter time.
