my sister once called me a nomad. my good friend, dana, told me i am most alive when i travel. since they know me pretty well, what i can say is that i am most inspired when i get to travel and come back to my 'home' with a fresh perspective [and clearly, i needed a fresh perspective of this city.]

just a few things i discovered on the road:

1. pittsburgh//if you haven't been, you must. it's basically a midwestern city in pennsylvania. pittsburgh stole my heart --- juuuuust a little bit. 24 hours in a city all about love, kindness, community and being great together is what my soul needed.

2. tam dao by dyptique//so, i'm guilty - i discovered this cologne two weeks ago while shopping for my mister. after a dropped hint or two (and his own wish to wear this cologne), my belated valentine's gift 'from' the little one came on wednesday. i haven't doused myself in anything else since.

3. daftbird//the perfect classic tee. and by 'classic,' i totally mean 'relaxed fit, west-coast styling, flowy cotton tee.'

4. be a nice human by ohmydeer//i've loved these sweet prints for a while now, but this print was such a great reminder of what my soul is craving.

5. perfectly distressed denim//i've been on the hunt for the perfect pair of distressed black denim and gap took me by surprise. high-waisted, stretchy, can't-take-them-off-of-my-body-perfectly-placed-holes skinny jeans. no, really, i actually haven't been able to take them off since.

hope your monday was rad.
