Loving...

The entire group of (incredibly) "stylish women over 40" over on Refinery 29, but especially Brooke Williams, on whom I have long harbored a huge girl crush. I love how laid-back and mellow and just generally cool she seems.

And then there's this quote from her Refinery interview:

"When I was 29, I went to an incredible dinner party filled with interesting, open, stylish, creative people all of whom were in their mid to late 30s. I wanted to be them so badly. And I remember them all telling me that my life was only just about to get good. And they were right. So, I figured my 40s had to be even better. So far they have."

This pretty much sums up how I felt my entire 20s. I couldn't wait to be in my 30s. I thought everything really great would happen in my 30s.

Happily, I was right.

And how awesome was the actual pop-up shop? Dreamy, yes?
