There's something about wearing a great hat and stiletto heels that makes me feel so cosmopolitan ... so Sex and the City, if you will. :)

I find myself walking with much more confidence. Little sound bits of my very own soundtrack are playing over in my mind as I walk through Trader Joe's to pick up groceries. I feel so independent and in sync with the world as I walk out with my paper bag full of organic foods and my french loaf sticking out of the top of my bag.

As the breeze rustles the palm trees and the scent of the ocean passes by, I realize that I am much closer to that leading role on the movie screen than ever before. I'm living my own adventure, stepping into a world of possibilities and daring to move without blinking an eye.

What's more exhilarating than anything, is the mystery that comes with the hat and stilettos. I feel as if there is more to come ... more than what meets the eye. It's a part of me that is slowly making its way to the surface with or without the costume. Because of this, however, I am increasingly more attracted to anyone who naturally exudes spontaneity, adventure and a carefree spirit. Ha! Seemingly opposite of my structured and planned out life.

Maybe this hat and these heels are trying to tell me something.
