The first half of this year has flown by like magic, don’t you agree? One of my resolutions for the year was to start living my life with more awareness and intention and I’ve done a good job of it so far. I’ve been finishing up projects, starting new ones and checking things off my to-do list left and right.

It’s always easy for me to commit to work but for the month of August I decided on a different intention: rest and relaxation. Before I head off to NYFW and the holiday season approaches (yes I just said the holiday season) I want to take a full month to chill out. I dreamed of going to Europe and literally disappearing but unfortunately there are too many things around LA that need some of my attention. Although a full blown month away is proving elusive, this August I will be trimming my schedule any way I can and giving myself the go ahead to take more beach days, read more books, drink more margaritas and enjoy the last month of summer before it slips away.
