Where Have You Been? || Update

Well hiya. Long time, no see! Oops. I’ve been meaning to get back here, but the time snowballed and then it was over a year later. So let’s catch up.

I’m currently in the Mediterranean dancing for Norwegian Cruise Lines aboard the Star! The shows we’re doing are so wonderful and the places I’m seeing are incredible. We port in Italy, Greece, Montenegro, and Croatia and sometimes I can’t believe I’m getting paid to travel and perform like this. I’m incredibly lucky to be doing something I love and working with some of the loveliest people I’ve ever met. Living the life of a traveling showgirl is so rewarding but I am so ready to be getting home, back to New York, and onto my next great adventure; moving!

Robbie and I have found our first place together and we’ll be moving in there come autumn. It’s definitely been challenging to apartment hunt from Europe, but Robbie has been nothing short of amazing about it; scouted out locations online, visited them in person, talked logistics, the whole shebang. And now we’ve got our place! 

I can’t believe this part of my life is over in just a little more than a month, but I cannot wait to start this exciting new chapter! 

Fingers crossed I’m good about updating.

Nifty Knits || The Force Awakens

I, like everyone else in the galaxy, love Star Wars. There's just something so uplifting and universal about the film franchise. I've loved these films for as long as I can remember, and the new installment followed suit and marched straight into my heart. I really enjoyed The Force Awakens and whilst feeling crafty, I decided to mix my love of knitting and Star Wars together. 

Style Steal || Shop Miss A

I tend to be a person who has expensive taste. This causes me some problems when I pull my head out of the online window shopping clouds, and check my bank account and my current student loan statements. Needless to say, I'm a big fan of a big bargain.

As a girl who loves sparkle and shine, I love to accessorize with jewelry. Trendy jewelry is fun and statement jewelry definitely packs a punch, but spending a large amount on pieces I expect will go out of style within the next year or so is not a wise investment. I stumbled on a website that is now a feature in my shopping bookmark; Shop Miss A.
