When life gets crazy sometimes you need to step back and appreciate what’s around you.  I’m so thankful to live in such a beautiful area, just close enough to the city (of Philadelphia) that the skyline is a daily visual, but still in Jersey where I’m surrounded by the most amazing family, friends and loved ones a girl could ever ask for.

*I’m also pretty thankful to call these gorgeous Schutz shoes mine after a visit with some fellow Lucky FABB girls to Piperlime’s first store opening in New York last week.  They may not be nearly as important as the wonderful people in my life, but they do have a knack for putting a smile on my face and a spring in my step.
