Since Blush and Blooms is a new blog and most of you do not know me quite yet, I figured a little get to know me post for Friday’s Simply Smitten was appropriate! Besides I have a lot of lesiure time due to my recent funemployment new job searching retirement 🙂 So here is my list of things that I love and make me happy.

1) My family and friends mean everything to me and I am so grateful for everyone in my life.

2) Fashion is what inspires me to become the woman I want to be. My style is classic and preppy (not a fan of trends).

3) I love to wear dresses and would wear a dress everyday for the rest of my life if I could.

4) I am obsessed with nutrition and exercise. Recently got into clean eating/paleo lifestyle and love it. Becoming more and more of a health nut everyday, watch out 🙂

5) Horses are my favorite animal, besides dogs.

6) I grew up in Ohio but have been living in NYC for the past few years and am in love with both places.

7) Dance is the love of my life. My favorite thing to do in NYC is go to the Met Opera House to watch the American Ballet Theatre perform.

8) My favorite drinks are: tea, champagne, and white wines.

9) I love people who make me laugh. I am definitely a reserved person (until you get to know me), but surround myself with goofy, funny people.

10) I am counting down the days until I get a Westie!

12) Music is everything to me.

13) I am currently learning how to speak French. Bonjour!

14) My Grandmothers jewelry is my most prized possession.

15) If I could pick one celebrity that would play me in a movie it would be Reese Witherspoon.

16) My favorite flowers are tulips and peonies.

17)  “My rule is, if it’s not moving, monogram it” Reese Witherspoon

18) I love a good book.

19) Besides mascara and once in a while Chanel lipstick, I never wear makeup. Ah the horror 😉

20) I enjoy a solid happy hour.

21) My style icons and women I aspire to be like: Grace Kelly, C.Z Guest, Kate Middleton, Reese Witherspoon, Allison Williams, Jackie Kennedy, Emma Stone, Tory Burch, Tina Fey, Carolina Herrera and my Mother.

22) Someday I want to travel to Paris, London, and Greece.
