when you smile, the world smiles back at you. ♥


we haven't officially moved in yet [a few days!] but these were taken out front of our new place. so many fun new spots for outfit photos! i think the 'vibe' of my blog is going to change because where we live now is so residential and we're moving to such a fun and urban spot! i am going to make sure to take the camera with me more and snap neighborhood photos because new places inspire me! a few blocks from us the walls are filled with beautiful graffiti and the streets are speckled with warehouse galleries with incredible work.

in other news, i am officially a separates addict. don't you guys feel so BORED dressing for summer? i think simplicity just irks me. i always want to add more, layer more, cover up more but the 90 degree weather we've been having allows for a minimal amount of clothing. it's all legs and arms for this lady and i was still really hot! fall... come soon?! :) jk, i am trying to embrace it PLUS we are going to have central ac in our new place which to me is a luxury. in nicaragua we had no ac, so i guess anything is better than that!

p.s. for any film appreciators out there, HERE is the movie matt/ crew created this past weekend. the radio voice at the end is mine hehe!


skirt: for sale in my store
blouse: c/o windsor store

I'm not even kidding, as I was walking to the subway looking at flowers I thought "Oh I should get something in mint or sage green and wear it with red." MINDREADER! This color combo is superb. Also, I've resigned myself to a summer of scarf/belt/pin collecting and wearing the same three cotton dresses on repeat. xo

About 90% of the reason I chose my apartment was because it had central heat AND air. I totally understand the 'luxury' feeling.
I love this little blue top, I definitely need to start a hunt for some cute summery shorts to wear as 'separates' this summer.

I bet it will be really nice to have AC in your new place - and the area that you're moving too sounds super fun! Also, I am totally in love with your blouse - that color is so pretty and I love the black detailing.

I am so with you! I am totally a separates addict! I've been getting really bored with just wearing a dress, I feel like I need something to make it more interesting so I've been sticking to separates mostly.

Good luck with the move!

Cute skirt! We're in the same boat in AZ. All I wanna wear are tanks and shorts! Or, if it was socially acceptable to go everywhere in a swim suit, I would!

Just a few hours ago I was wondering to myself "How does red and mint colors go together?" and there you are!!! the genius of the mixed colors! :)

I love it love it love it.
And yes, summer is really boring and simply :(

Jamie Rose said...

I'm always bored dressing in the summer so I completely understand! It's already almost 100 degrees where I live and it's horrible. I don't even want to go outside. Air conditioning is my favorite.
