This is surprisingly very relatable. (I think we are spoiled, lol.) I already took my big trip this summer to Curaçao and it was wonderful but still craving another getaway or something to look forward to. I am in the beginning stages of wedding planning and I am not having fun so far. It’s great that you sound farther along. Bodies have funny ways of telling you to slow down, I hope you are feeling better. Cheers to a more restful, less chaotic summer. (Also, dying to see that dress I love vintage RL, I am also on the hunt for some yummy pieces for my bridal era.) Love love loved this!
so glad you could relate to this! after i published i immediately thought 'omg this sounds so whiny.' hang in there on the wedding planning! the beginning stages are rough but once you get all the major details out of the way you'll feel a lot better. 🤍
I totally get that disappointment Jacquie!! We need little things to look forward to, they literally get me through the week lol. Wedding prep sounds exhausting and exiting, we kept it quite simple so can't fully relate here. The Ralph Lauren look sounds like a wonderful choice!
Also, hope you recovered well from your injuries, but this leading to this Substack is a good thing!! Nice to have you around here :)
thank you so much! I really am enjoying substack and am so glad i am leaning into it as a good distraction. I am about 75% recovered from the injury, so now its really about pain management. hoping to be fully back in the swing of things by mid july!
I have to remind myself of this too! Sometimes life circumstances that "force" us to slow down and make peace with the mundane day to day routine allows us to enjoy and appreciate these incredible trips even more next time!
exactly! slowing down is so hard for me because i naturally like a fast pace of things, but i think for this season of my life, it is now a good thing.
“I know this sounds spoiled, but I’m kind of sad about it.” <— felt!!! I also need little trips planned to make life worth living. And also, can we collectively decide that liking South Beach isn’t uncool?
