{fashion friday} catbird nyc

if and whenever i visit nyc,
i will be visiting this store for sure.

i love the simplicity of all the rings there.
but they each say a lot.
and i'm a fan of non-traditional.
love. love. love.

my favorite.

you definitely need to go.
i'm a huge fan of catbird nyc.
not just of the rings, but everything else too!

this joy is...

...something new
my arms they're holding you
i never knew this thrill before
who ever thought I'd be
holding you close to me
whispering, "it's you i adore".
