» obsessed with my new ‘Bowie’ bag from Clove + Revel, this circle shape is major for Summer & will be a perfect travel bag! «
Hey hey hey guys, happy Monday my many loves! How goes it? Did that title really pull ya in?
No no no, I didn’t get a proposal (YET- lol), but I was part of someones proposal this weekend & it was pretty much the coolest thing I’ve done/seen in a hot minute. Zack’s cousin proposed to his girlfriend & he wanted Zack to shoot the whole thing… secretly.
He did it at the beach & had set up a beautiful dinner on the beach so Zack & I hid in a cabana paparazzi-ing the shit out of the whole thing. I was like oddly nervous & so excited, shaking like a leaf. It was SO freaking cool. Defintely a major weekend highlight & the photos turned out stunning. If this whole blogging thing fails, I think the BF & I would make a killer engagement photographer combo. I helped pose, & he shot amazing photos. Check them out here.
In other exciting news, the Fashionlush APP just got a major upgrade & I am v excited to announce that I am now bringing you guys some uber exclusive content for all my amazing readers.

As for the whole anxiety thing, ughhh… it’s the worst. If you’ve read my full anxiety story, you know this is a constant problem in my life… but sometimes it just gets nearly unbearable.
That was this weekend. A total spiral of anxiety. I convinced myself I had a brain tumor (because I spelled some weird words wrong & had a headache), I cried for an hour about how someone moved my car onto a hill in highschool, & I completely lost it about not having cute enough outfits for my trip.
I know, it all sounds so fucking ridiculous, but anxiety really brings out my alter ego… AIR-WRECKAH (get it, Erica… but a wreck). Air-Wreckah is a nightmare & I hate her, but I am learning to just try & sit with the crazy bitch until she gets bored of being a total psycho.
I have tons of different ways to cope with anxiety, but my new holistic therapist (she’s so cool) told me I just gotta learn to sit with “her” (said anxiety) until “she” gets bored.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact I am turning 30 in a few weeks (scary AF) along with the big trip we have planned, because vacay anxiety is a given in my world. SO- if you guys have any top secret anxiety tips, let a sister know. I am open to pretty much anything (witch doctors, hypnotherapy, reiki, energy work, you name it… I am down to try it).
Today though, I am feeling good. The crazy anxiety demon has been exorcized… for now. I am sure she will be rearing her ugly head soon enough, but for now, the bitch is gone.
Oh, also, last thing… Babe Walker came out with a new book & it’s EVERYTHING. If you haven’t read her first two books, do so… stat. She has an alter ego too & I feel like she is kind of my long lost twin. x, Erica
