i am very disgruntled with an aspect of my life right now. for months i have endured frustrations in search of a solution, but am left puzzled and seemingly trapped. though i hate to generalize it, with my 25th birthday fast approaching, i can’t help but feel that it is, in fact, a quarter life crisis. when i close my eyes and picture what i thought life would be like at this age, i am living a completely different life. and for the most part, it’s actually better than i ever could have imagined! logically, the time has come to fix what is bothering me instead of complaining about it. i know my friends are sick of listening to me whine 😉
thankfully, a great idea hit me like a surprise slap in the face and i am so, so relieved. it’s going to be risky and very spontaneous, but i am beyond ready to take a leap and try something new. yes, i’m being vague, but when i can tell you more details, i will. for now, i am grateful to have such a wonderful support system of friends, family, and of course, all of you!
hope you have a lovely weekend, it’s supposed to be hottest days of the entire summer here in vancouver! big internet hugs and kisses xo
that color looks great on you and you hair is so very lovely in this post , i am wishing you luck in whatever is happening in your life!!

You definitely have me intrigued! Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve!! I felt weirder about turning 27 than I did turning 25… something about 27 made me feel like I was supposed to be an adult, all of a sudden! Haha, but my next one is going to be a biggie… 3-0… eep!
And this outfit is darling!! I lovvvve this color on you, and how is your hair always SO perfect? I have major hair envy!!
You know I am here for you, to support you in every way I can! Just like you have supported me again and again! Can't wait for the next adventure 😉
Love you lots!!

Well I'd like to know more details, baha. I think we all go through this every once in awhile, at least I know have MANY times within the past couple of years…!
But aside from future endeavors that I'm sure will pan out, I love this blouse on you, and your hair is gorgeous!

Aww, i can definitely relate to this post as i just celebrated my 29th this week and can't help but think i should be somewhere else instead of where i am right now. you know what i mean? but trust me – 25 is sooo much better than being 29!!
can't wait to see what you have coming your way! i keep thinking back to when i was 25 and wish i did something more or better with my life. i guess it's never too late though!
I love that blouse! The color is gorgeous on you. I, too went through a quarter life crisis when I hit 25 and my life went in a completely different direction that I thought it would go and I'm happy that it did. Can't wait to hear about your new idea! Sounds exciting : )
Can't wait to hear the details! I love that colour on you, so gorgeous lady!
My 25th birthday is next week and I'm worried that the quarter life crisis will hit me soon. I've actually accomplished everything I wanted to by this age but at the same time, where to go now? Can't wait to hear what you've decided!

i had a lot of the same thoughts when i was approaching 25, and the difference of what i thought my life should be like. Now that it's here and all happening, i couldn't be happier! I'm sure you'll feel the same once everything has a chance to work out…..holy, moly! i wanna know the surprise!!!
Your hair looks amazing in these photos, dear! I can't wait to hear about your new venture.
I totally feel you with this Alicia, when I was little I always thought that by now I'd be doing certain things and it turns out I'm doing the excat opposite, it bugged me for a while but then I realized we can't plan anything and we should learn to live each moment before it pass us by! So sure that by when your bday arrives you'll forget about this so called crisis, just look at you gorgeous lady!

I am so happy that youre going through that!!! Not to say that a crisis is a good thing…but I'm going through one as well right now and its nice to know I'm not the only one. Reading your post was like listening to my self speak (even about the new vague spontaneous venture). Good luck with everything!

I'm very intrigued by this big risk you're taking… I'm hoping you'll fill us in on some more of the details on Thursday 🙂 I know what you mean about the quater-life crisis, I recently experienced one myself, although I didn't do anything nearly as proactive about it as you seem to be 😉 Love your bardot blouse, by the way. The coral colour suits you so perfectly!

I turned 25 this year too, and like you I found myself thinking my life is nowhere near what I expected it to be when I used to think about being 25. But you're right, in some ways it can be better! I think for me it is, for sure.
You look so stunning, I adore the blouse and the accessories! I am looking forward to hearing about your idea 🙂 xx
I'm right there with you Alicia! 25 is a huge one, and has me rethinking everything as well. It's crazy how different everyone thinks their life will be at certain points. I'm so glad that you have a plan, and I am fully intrigued by it!
Excited to see you this coming week! xx
p.s Love the outfit! You look gorgeous, I always love that blouse!
