life lately.

lately: a skyline view of chi-city/ a coffee break at floriole / my mom’s 60th b-day celebration / these new target mules I love {buy one, get one 50% off too!} / our apartment finally coming together! / madewell pretties I can’t wait to bust out / moscow mules with look sharp sconnie & she loved life / more treats at floriole
————————————–
Alright, time to be brutally honest: life lately hasn’t been so hot. Sure, it looks pretty fabulous on Instagram {see the above},  but life has been less than rainbows and sunshine over in my little corner of the world. I try to keep my blog pretty light {even fluffy at times, I’ll admit it}, but I have been lacking inspiration, some serious self confidence and a whole lot of focus.

 We all have those days, weeks, months and clearly I’m no exception. I kinda sucked at everything this week – and when you start sucking at one thing, you start sucking at everything else {doesn’t that, well, kinda suck?} It’s hard balancing life with work and watching other people seem to do it so effortlessly. I’m tired – like, can barely get my butt out of bed in the morning tired, so blogging unfortunately is the last thing on my mind these days. You may have noticed that I’ve slowly started to become an internet recluse, so please don’t be offended. I promise to be back to my old ways in no time {and hey, at least the weekend’s here – that’s a start, right?}

But, when it comes to being stuck in a rut, I guess I picked as good a time as any. I’m off to Go Blog Social to meet some other fabulous bloggers, and hopefully they’ll inspire me to get my butt in gear. I think I need some time away from Chicago, as much as I love this city. I’m looking forward to some  girl time, an attitude adjustment, and some serious inspiration to get my creative wheels turning again!

Not to be all Debbie Downer on you, there’s also some good things happening to my little corner of the internet soon! I promise to be back to buisness next week – and I also promise to not be so MIA too. Can’t wait to catch up on your weekends & get some

    I can completely relate to how you’re feeling lately. I’m blaming it on the exceptionally long winter we’re having for a lack of inspiration. I’m in love with y’alls apartment; it looks so comfy cozy! Have a blast at Go Blog Social friend!

    I've been in a little bit of a rut lately too. Call it a mid-life crisis if you will. I hope this weekend is relaxing and enjoyable for you. See you NEXT WEEK! Yay!

    I miss your face–we need a cupcake date. What do your weekends look like this month? (PS I've been feeling the same way this past month. Hugs to you, friend!)

    Oh Maya, you are totally speaking to me here! I have been the same way, and of course, I only show the "good" on Instagram and on the blog. I haven't done many outfit posts because I've been in a style rut, throw some scrunch spray in my hair and run out the door in a dress and boots (a very boring dress and boots). But I am also hoping GBS will help motivate me and I can't wait to meet you!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Just remember Maya, the person people project online and share with you are the well crafted images they want in the public. I promise, it's not as easy as people make it look. And if it does look easy, I assure you, that doesn't mean it's effortless <3 Sending you some hugs! Maybe a trip to the book store is in order for you? 🙂 Or a fabric store! I always get crazy-inspired touching different kinds of fabric and imagining/seeing what they can potentially become.

    On a total side note, I LOVE your apartment. It looks so cute and mod <3 It's so you, but it's not so feminine that I cannot see your B with you 🙂 You would make a spectacular interior designer.
