I Believe in Pink

Hello June, thank you for the heart happy weekends so far.  We recently celebrated showering my sister, the bride-to-be and spent Saturday at the venue tasting a whole lot of yummy eats.  I fell in love with an Aperol Spritz which is giving the dirty martini I've become quite skilled at making (of course always with blue cheese olives) a run for it's money as this summer drink is addicting and like really pretty.

When my sister asked me to be her Maid of Honor, I was given a slue of my favorite things including the cutest mini bottle of Veuve but also a small accessory which dons the words of Aubrey Hepburn's adorable beliefs.  True story, before the days of Pinterest, I used to keep a running Word doc with quotes I loved.  A few feel good phrases to get you through your week as if you have felt anything like me lately, Sunday blues are becoming a real struggle with this amazing San Francisco summer.   

At first glance, I didn't think anything of the quotes.  I was like oh cute, I like pink.  I know happy and pretty girls.  But now as I re-read each of the little lines, it's a pretty great mantra.  One I've added a few thoughts and photos to as I sit on this Monday night cuddled in my DVF duvet feeling a little restless.

I believe in milliennial pink.  I love that I first discovered this color months ago sitting at Cafe Reveille.  It was the start of the blog and little did I know a trendy hue.  

I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.  I tend to be a serious Sally or so I think anyway.  I used to have a hard time making fun of myself and as I entered my 30's, accepted the girl who can't use a piece of paper that is crinkled or with writing crossed out.       

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.  This has never been more true until creating this blog and being happy with TC and what I have achieved.  Of course, I have my moments of self doubt as I have always been my toughest critic but the early stages of my Taylored Approach project has been more fulfilling than I could have imagined.

I believe that tomorrow is another day.  Recently, passing year 5 living in the city, I never expected I would have stayed this long.  I've discovered a true passion for my career, something that has come naturally and although, the other side of life has taken it's time, it's proven to be just as rewarding.

​​Sending you off to dream with a glowing view of this Golden Gate beauty today.  

With love from Chestnut,
