In just eight days I’ll be touching down in Mumbai for three weeks of celebration and exploration.  This amazing photo that is making the rounds on the internet is only making me more impatient to board the plane next Thursday night.

On my recent trip to Austin, I stopped in the gorgeous design shop Spartan and came across my new favorite accessory–the Bonnie Bracelet.  Inspired by the artist’s biggest fan (her mom,) Bonnie Bracelets are handmade by Kara Ryan.  These hammered brass cuffs are perfectly simple and I have literally worn them every day.  You can purchase them directly from the artist on Etsy

“[Y]ou can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”
