That Sparkly Gold Bag

It’s all a love story, isn’t it? Life?” Theo Von

She is wearing a white embroidered skirt that looks sort of fuzzy, a camouflage crew neck, a small glittery gold bag with a thin chain, a copper phone case and turquoise rings on her fingers with silver fingernails. Her glasses are pink and large and make her look like she is from the late 80s. She has a long necklace that reaches her waist with silver balls, resembling a Christmas garland.

She is sipping on a can of La Colombe coffee. It’s hard to describe how festive she really seems. Nothing matches, but it is magic. She seemed as caffeinated energetic as her curly hair.

She got off at Canal St. Her little sparkly gold clutch reminded me of how we bring magic into the everyday.

I think there is tremendous value in elevating the things we use every day. A skirt, a frother for a morning drink, a warm towel for the face, a nice thick body oil, a soft blanket, a piece of jewelry— all things that add some sparkle to a regular day.

How can you add sparkle?✨

Thank you, random girl with the sparkly gold bag. Keep spreading your light.
