{the classics: a new black halter bikini, chanel lotus rouge & gold bfrend bracelet}Perhaps I had a little bit too much time to over think the last week, but for a good part of it I was pretty down in the dumps. Without going into too much detail, I'm very thankful that following a period of reflection, clarity often comes. Times like these also serve as a perfect reminder to give thanks in all circumstances, and of course to appreciate even the littlest of things... such as the bits of happiness in this post.
