hello weekend

Hiiii!! I'm so excited it's finally the weekend! This week has been like every other week in January: absolutely freezing! On the plus side, we did have lots of blue skies and sun this week! The sun always makes me happy. On a different note, can you believe that tomorrow marks the first day of February?! This means Valentine's Day is right around the corner! Do you already have any plans for Valentine's Day?

Hello there and Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely and (if possible) warm weekend! 

hello weekend

Happy weekend lovelies! In case you didn't already know, it's FREEZING in Boston!! I've started lingering in bed longer in the morning because the mere thought of waiting outside for the bus makes me chilly. Oh! Also, I've mastered the art of becoming a turtle. Yes, you heard me right! I wrap my Zara blanket scarf around my neck, and then lower my head down into the scarf like a turtle going into its shell. Don't ask me why or how I started calling this my turtle mode because I have no idea. Let's just blame it on the cold getting to my brain!

Happy Wednesday lovelies! This is definitely more edgy than my other outfits, but you know what? I'm really loving it! There's nothing like a leather jacket to make you feel like a badass.

sleepyhead

I've been running on very little sleep lately, and this dreary New England weather is making it nearly impossible to fake being bright and chipper. Soon my coffee induced alertness will fail me, and the inevitable crash from sleep deprivation will occur. Here's to hoping it happens when I'm in close proximity to my comfy bed, and not on public transportation of any sort! The last thing I need is to be woken up by a stranger after sleeping through my stop. Yikes!

hello weekend

Hello!! I couldn't be happier that the weekend is finally here! How was your week? Mine was really busy, but very productive! I even managed to squeeze in some yoga classes. Even though I fit in three classes this week, I'm already feeling a little stronger and rejuvenated, but of course a little sore. It's a good sore though! The kind that makes you excited to workout even more. You know what I mean, right? Although this was a pretty good week, I'm definitely ready for some "me time" and fun this weekend! Do you have anything exciting planned?

happy (belated) hat day

Happy belated Hat Day everyone! My sincerest apologies for not acknowledging the holiday when it actually happened (January 15th), but I truthfully did not know such a holiday existed. I'm all for celebrating every day, but wow, it's hard to keep track of them!

110 in 1,100

As you all know, I love making lists! I find the act of listing to be soothing, stress relieving, and one of the few ways to sort through all of the crazy yet exciting thoughts that constantly dance around my mind. Inspired by both a favorite blogger of mine, Mackenzie, the creator of Design Darling, and one of my all time favorite movies, A Walk to Remember, I decided to forgo a traditional list of resolutions in favor of making a bucket list of sorts. But unlike a bucket list, my list is designed to be completed in a little over 3 years; 1,100 days to be exact! The amount of things I want to accomplish and places I want to visit is endless and always changing, so for now I have drawn up a list of 110 experiences, places, and things that I want to complete in the next 1,100 days. 

plaid addiction

Hi, my name is Kimiko and I'm addicted to all things plaid. If you have a similar addiction or would like to become a plaid addict, then you've come to the right place! :)

hello weekend

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful and warm week. Warm? Ha! A girl can dream, right? I don't know about where you were, but in Boston this week was FREEZING, and I tried to spend as much time inside as possible. No amount of layers could prevent me from turning into an icicle the second I stepped outside. Brrrrr! I'm ready to say au revoir to the polar vortex!

coffee break // new year, new resolutions

This post was supposed to go up earlier, but the other night I got into a fight with the staircase at home, and needless to say, the stairs and the marble floor at the bottom of them won. My head and body were just not quite ready to do much of anything, let alone blog. :)
