Hiiii and happy weekend from LA! We were at a wedding in Malibu last night (I wore the Staud dress and it worked great), and I have to say, I just love love. It’s such a beautiful thing, isn’t it?

And to close it out, three quotes that stuck with me this week:

1. It was beautiful because you saw it that way.

2. A big part of who I am is who I’m not anymore.

3. Every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this! And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put in on your heart and say, “No. This is what’s important.”

If you enjoyed this, would you do me a favor and please give it a little heart? It’s a small thing that’s big on Substack.

Be kind out there and have a great week!

XX,
