Today I made my own chain necklace after coveting them for weeks. Turns out, it’s quite easy to do!
I just used a shoelace from J.Crew that I had bought awhile back and strung it through a chain I bought at the hardware store (1.5 yards). Tie it in the back and viola! A stylish piece that is ready for summer with a fun pop of color!

I’ve gone to the darkside….well, just another side of the internet world. Besides my Tumblr (which I’ve been neglecting as of late….I promise to be better soon!), I also have a new Wordpress blog about my marketing/advertising endeavors. It’s just a start, but it has some enjoyable posts and laughable tidbits. So, check it out, follow me if you also moonlight on Wordpress, or just continue to be my friend here, where I promise to post soon :)

Having a dream is pretty crazy. There were many years in my life where I felt like my life was devoid of a singular dream that lead me through life. I felt that I was being pulled in so many directions I wasn’t willing to fight for. I was always jealous that other people had a dream, whether feasible or not. Having something to strive for, something to continuously yearn for, it’s suffocating and freeing all at the same time. And it’s a feeling I really wanted but haden’t felt for a long time.
Now I have a dream….a big dream. And now that I’ve actually found it so many years later, there’s a big part of me that wants to rush out there and get it. But I have to be patient, I have to learn the ropes, I have to be practical about it all until I feel that I’m ready (both in body and spirit) to run after those dreams. But I want it now…and now that I’ve graduated, it’s hard having to watch other people live out the dreams while I’m still working on getting closer to mine. If I was a perfect person I would be genuinely happy that they’ve found it, I just hope it’s their dream as much as it is mine.
I’m working on it, accepting that others have found their and knowing that mine is coming with a lot of hard work and sheer determination, which I have in droves.

This is a gem.
