I decided to share a “Here and Now” update with you today\u00a0because within the past two months I’ve been all over the place…and something tells me there is\u00a0about to be a whole lot more of that coming soon. So allow my type A personality to attempt to organize things for you: Here was what I was up to in the month of January and February. My real “Here and Now” is currently in Paris, you can follow along \u00a0on my Instagram<\/a>. And also catch my previous Here and Now<\/a> \u00a0or read about the challenge here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As you may already know, I spent a few weeks in Accra this past January taking care of a lot\u00a0of different things all while\u00a0enjoying 86 degrees weather while it snowed a ton in the U.S. (I love to say that! :P). \u00a0Sometimes warm weather involved sitting in the grass while brainstorming ideas, and it occasionally included my pet bunny trying to nibble my notebook. On a good day he’d settle for just chewing the frayed\u00a0end of my jeans or at the very least of his mischiefs, hopping\u00a0all over my work until I have to move back in the house (so, yea, that never really worked out)(but for the 5mns that it did, it was nice \ud83d\ude41 ). I also took care of some projects while in Accra\u00a0like a fashion post I recently put up on what it is like fashion shopping in Africa<\/a>. One of the best part about this project was\u00a0getting to try on some of these beautiful clothes like the Christie Brown<\/a> samples I picked up for the shoot. Also, having another excuse to visit the Charlotte Fashion shop<\/a> and see the lovely peach tones for spring fashion is always a plus.<\/p>\n

Coming back to the U.S where I got into my fair share of freezing cold, I spent most of my time bundled up with a good book and catching up on some editing. Then work took a full swing again in February when Fashion came upon us. Speaking of the month of love, I spent my valentine’s day in New York shooting Fashion Week which was okay until I had to get dinner by myself and had to painfully respond “Yes”\u00a0to every hostess at a restaurant who asked if I was by myself (seriously, thanks for making things awkward guys!). However, it was wonderful to come back home to a bouquet of stunning flower arrangements(and we all know\u00a0how much I looooove flowers) and some (seriously!)late christmas gifts.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to now: I’m currently in my lovely Paris right now<\/a>\u00a0(swooning all over the place). I haven’t been back here in two years. It feels so long. I thank the Lord Jesus for making all of this possible. I’m so excited to be here and I can’t wait to share more Paris updates with you. If you don’t already, you can join me on Instagram and follow along!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
