35. Go to a wedding — I attended Sophie's wedding this week and it was absolutely magical. Truly cannot believe it had taken me this long to go to a wedding but I'm thrilled her's was my first. 
C U R R E N T L Y     W O R K I N G     O N
1. Read 100 books — I've now read 53 so I'm officially halfway there! I'm back on my audio book kick so I should be getting some knocked out easily.
17. Visit a new national park — My parents are flying out in late-May for a whirlwind trip through Colorado/Utah and we will be going to quite a few national parks that I have yet to cross off my list. 
30. Do something for my career — I completed my leadership program at my job (and did my huge presentation, what a relief!). The idea I pitched is being put into place as is something else I pitched about TikTok. But the biggest project of my career is coming out mid-May, and I couldn't be more excited to share it with you!!
49. Go to 20 new coffee shops — Now that I'm fully vaccinated (and things are starting to open back up) I want to get back on this. Also, with the spring/summer months upon us more patios will be opening! 
54. Attend a state fair — This is currently on the docket as a work trip in late-August, so keep your fingers crossed!

55. Buy something big for myself — I've decided what I want to purchase (hint). My plan is to get it for myself this summer. 
57. Keep fresh flowers in the apartment for 3 months — Bought my first bouquet last week so here we go! 
59. Go flower picking — Working on plans for this one...

Week Re-Cap


Reunited with college friends at Sophie's wedding.

Happy Thursday! Yes, we are off by a day, but ya know what? Life happens. This last week was an absolute dream. I got back to CO and the weather has been lovely and terrible at the same time. I've started walking again, although dang it is hard! But most importantly I went to Dallas for one of my amazing friend's, Sophie, wedding. It was my first wedding (wild, I know) and I got to reunite with my best friend for 24 hours. Obviously, lots of food and drink stops ensued. T'was glorious.

When I got back it was time to finish the final proof of my big work project that will be out mid-May. I cannot believe it's finally here! I went to the office for the first time in forever and loved it. Truly cannot believe it has been so long and how much I missed my desk. 

I don't have any plans for the rest of the week but I'm sure things will pop up. How are you? — xoxo darling, Hayden

Spring Dresses

Spring is really springing and I'm ready to start rockin' some cute dresses. Granted...I have yet to be able to wear a dress anywhere but now that we're all starting to get vaccinated I'm ready! I'm talking rootop drinks with the gals, walks through fields romantic-like (ha!) and maybe some Rockies games if that is getting back to being a thing...what about y'all? — xoxo darling, Hayden

Monthly Inspiration No. 18

 I'm not really sure what I'm feeling for April. Part of me is into 1960s fashion — mini dresses with big collars specifically — but the other part of me wants to be in a bright green, but rainy countryside. So...you see I'm struggling! What are you currently inspired by? — xoxo darling, Hayden

Flowers + Hat, 1960s Outfits, Cards, Vegas, Green Sweater, 1960s Outfits, Church on Hill, Country House
