While time turned back over the weekend, I’ve found myself looking forward – planning for the holidays and (not to rush things) the year ahead. I’ve forever been a list-maker and even though I’m usually carrying a clutch or smaller bag, I always have a tiny notebook or scrap of paper tucked inside so I can jot an idea down if inspiration strikes. I love the oversized proportions of the Gigi NY clutch (plus the luxe navy leather and chic tassel), because I can fit all my essentials plus a planner (like this gorgeous, persimmon gilded version) inside. Two of the major goals I’m working on right now is to manage my time better and to move this blog forward in engaging ways. Both of these come down to organization and spending a bit of extra time planning – so over the weekend I headed uptown to one of my favorite ‘thinking’ spots, the Met steps. Armed with a chai tea latte (yay for red cups!) and warm layers, I spent some time looking ahead, jotting down goals, and of course – street style watching. Anything you’d like to see more of here on the blog? Feel free to share here or catch up with me on social @thesteelemaiden
