GTL: A Way of Life
Ok, so after 4 seasons I've finally jumped on the jersey shore bandwagon. Clearly the show is ridiculous, but there is something captivating about this band of juice-heads. Anyway, the point here is- out of nowhere, I found a deep and profound life lesson within the show in one little catchphrase: GTL.
It all make so much sense!
GYM
Good for the body, good for the mind. As much as I gripe and moan, I always feel great after a workout. Getting this into a daily/weekly routine would certainly lift the spirits and, let's be real, my thighs wouldn't complain.
TAN
Yes being tan is nice. A healthy glow is slimming and a sun kissed complexion makes this pale gal look alive again. No mind blowing revelation here that Seattle is not the best place to catch some rays. During those 3 glorious months (if we're lucky) of summer, of course I will sit out at the park/lake/bar deck/whatever and soak some real sun. However, for the rest of the year alternatives must be found. I refuse to jump into a tanning bed, but I will slather myself up good with some tanning lotion/bronzer. (I prefer Lancome Flash Bronzer... It's the best people!). You can also go the spray tan route, which I have not done personally but am not opposed to. Just so long as you keep it natural. No oranges please!
LAUNDRY
Possibly the most underrated of the three because it feels like a chore. However if your stuff is clean you have more opportunities to mix up your wardrobe and get creative with your current gear. Plus it reduces the clutter of dirty clothes piles. If you don't have dirty clothes piles, I commend you.
IT'S T-SHIRT TIIIIIIMME!!!!!

Sometimes, you just get lucky...
Working for Nordstrom has it's perks. Here is the latest:
Hello, Marc Jacobs Stam bag. Welcome to your new life with me.
Savage Beauty
I feel fortunate to live in Manhattan for a myriad of reasons but one is my proximity to the Met. A few blocks away from me, where admission is 'suggested' and the art never ending, the Met calls my name every few weeks, luring me in to some undiscovered corner of wonder. Recently though, the Met screamed my name and I came running. This was to see Savage Beauty, the new Alexander McQueen exhibit.
I have long loved McQueen's perfectly eerie fashion and controversial runway shows. His aesthetic is like an erotic nightmare that is just so oddly beautiful, you don't want to wake up. This exhibit was no exception. To begin, whoever curated this deserves an award. The space was literally transformed in to a cavernous, haunting display of all his finest works. I was completely moved by all I saw. See some of my favorites below and if you can make it to the Met, run.
