NEW MUSE: LUCY CHADWICK

lucy chadwick by the selby for zara

i came across this gorgeous video + couldn't help but share.
i got emotional watching this, as often happens when i am so inspired by something.
lucy chadwick is so much what i aspire to be in regards to both my personal style + lifestyle.
her effortless looks + her (brooklyn?) home are amazing! i appreciate the simplicity most.
hearing her talk about her art + being involved with art installations reminds me that i haven't picked up a paint brush since college, which is so sad. as an art major, i was painting + creating 24/7. it's definitely something i want to start doing again. another thing to add to my long list!

ps- make sure to check out lucy's london home. it's just as charming!
