Exactly.
Have yourself a fantastic weekend! Go on a hike, watch a Gossip Girl marathon, bake some madeleines, catch up with a dear friend, volunteer at a soup kitchen...whatever helps you recharge and share your light.

Look We Love: Golden Globes 2015
We love award season fashion, from new couture trends to larger than life jewels and dreamy couples. Here are our favorites from this year's Golden Globes ceremony last evening.
Let's start with the gentlemen, shall we?
Kit Harington and Matt Bomer were a tie for best dressed with sleek Armani suits in on-trend blue and black.
The best dressed couple award goes to Diane Kruger in Emilia Wickstead and Josh Jackson in Berluti. Her reaction to his win was so precious.
Chrissy Teigen looked fashionable and sexy in her Zuhair Murad gown.
One of our favorite trends of the evening was the color yellow. We think Naomi Watts nailed it in this simple Gucci dress and killer Bulgari necklace.
Our best dressed runner up is Sienna Miller in this unique Miu Miu gown. Look at that detailing!
But then again, she would be radiant in anything.
Our best dressed pick for the evening was definitely Emma Stone in this stunning Lanvin jumpsuit. It strikes the perfect balance of attitude and glamour.
We would be remiss not to mention Amal Alamuddin Clooney in Dior Haute Couture, who is the belle of any ball she attends. She truly is a modern day Audrey Hepburn.
From Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's jokes to George's heartfelt acceptance speech, we love that this actor has found an intelligent, kind and impossibly stylish muse.
Who were your favorites from the evening?
Have a beautiful week! We have loads of new spring arrivals at the shop.

Ruminations
In light of recent events on the global stage, we would like to point out that hate never comes out on the right side of history. We are so thankful to have the right to speak, write and dress as we please in our corner of the earth.

Quote of the Day
Style is not just a way of dress or decor; it shows in how you approach all aspects of life. Today's challenge: Be a lady. Set pettiness aside and inspire your fellow females to follow their dreams and be their very best. You could be just the voice of encouragement someone needed.

This edgy-cool top takes me from chilly morning workouts to the coffee shop in style. And who doesn't love cozy thumb holes?
This silk midi skirt is surprisingly versatile. I throw it with a sweater and booties during the workday and with a leather bustier and pumps for cocktails with friends.
The contrast piping perfectly accents the tailored fit of this graphic floral silk top.
I'm not usually not one to wear pink, but this neon shade is so cool and modern.
Equipment Brett Blouse
This pin dot print pairs nicely with edgy bottoms or with other prints without being too flamboyant.

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Portrait Floral Scarf
I like to collect a new printed scarf each season as a signature accessory and this is my current favorite in the shop.

Perfect for layering under cozy cardigans and edgy leather jackets, this pop of pink brightens your complexion no matter how pale you feel in the dead of winter.
I love the structure that neoprene lends to a silhouette. I would wear this dress with our Joie leopard booties for a playful mix.
Calling all fabric snobs: Equipments uses some of the most luxurious silks on the market. This nude top works with everything in my wardrobe - other neutrals, brights and prints - and feels like heaven.
Lightweight knits like this poncho are perfect for our moody southern climate and pair nicely with skinny jeans or pencil skirts.
These stiletto boots are quite well-padded and comfortable for the heel height while the haircalf leopard fabrication is luxe, on-trend and versatile.
Distressed black skinny jeans feel fresh this season and balance my overtly girly tops perfectly.
From casual tailgates with sweaters and booties to cocktail parties with metallics and stilettos, I love a fun skirt that can give your wardrobe mileage.
These edged-up art deco earrings work with everything from a a basic tee and denim to cocktail looks. Obsessed.
