life goes easy on me.


hey there! back to reality :) swim week was fun while it lasted, but honestly sometimes the "normalcy" of my life is perfect for me. the simplicity of my non-glamorous life makes me smile. it makes me giggle when i spill coffee beans all over the floor at 7:30 a.m. (like a spaz!) and i have to clean it all up (but always miss some). it makes me happy to sit on my bathroom rug and paint my own toenails but always mess up a little bit. and most of all, i like to not go out and instead watch breaking bad with matt, downloaded on his computer because our tv is from the 1990's. i guess i mean... i sometimes feel happier with less. maybe i am just an oddball. 

my sunnies are handcrafted by a company i have admired for months, shwood. they are light, they smell of fresh wood AND matt and i can share them. i love unique companies that create items that feel special. life is special, so we should fill it with special things and people that we cherish ❤

I'm all about simplicity to! I'd so rather stay in, relax and get a good nights sleep than go out and party.

P.S. - I always mess up my toenails a bit too!

I love fashion week. I love going to shows, feeling a bit of glam, and running around but when its all over I love having my life back. I completely understand. I'm a homebody I mean I do like going out but I like staying home watching movies with my bf and just having a quiet life.

Love your shorts and your lace top.

I couldn't agree more-as much as it fun to have a glamorous time, simplicity is always the best. The lace top is soo pretty and the colour of the shorts are lush. I have never seen a wooden sunglasses before so thats a first.

I also love the simple things! And, coincidentally, my boyfriend and I (also named matt) are about to re-start breaking bad. Well, after we finish the last couple episodes of twin peaks, that is.
And, this blouse is gorgeous. I really like that you chose boots for this.

The Braided Bandit said...

ow ow! You look so cute!
I completely agree from where you are coming from. I really like appreciating the simple things in every day life, and lately find myself wanting to stay in and watch movies or binge watch back episodes of lost with the BF instead of partying on saturday nights! Its kind of nice to be 25 now and above the age where I feel pressured to do much more than what I actually want to do!
Thanks for being you, you are amazing!

p.s. AWESOME sunnies!

This is one of my favorite outfits of yours :D That blouse is too pretty!

TheHeadlessMannequin said...

The fact that you're a Damien Rice fan has made me an even bigger fan of you :)I agree about the simple pleasures of a quieter life...I don't feel the need for a balance in my life either but I feel that the faster paced moments are fun and make you appreciate the more comfortably humdrum ones! Another gorgeous outfit!

I know just what you mean, Steffy - it's wonderful to get to go out and do exciting things, but as great as it is, it's fun because it doesn't last forever... And in the end we get to go back to our happy little routines :) You are adorable as ever, especially in those green shorts
xox,

I love the simple things too! You are so cute. That top is adorable with your colorful shorts. I need to find a pair like that. They actually remind me of a black pair I have so maybe I should break those out soon!
