summer lovin.

 caftan, clutch & cuff: indian, belt: vintage christian dior, shoes: bakers, earrings: urban outfitters

last sunday my brother & i went to one of the most popular restaurants in nashville, city house.  i must say, it was absolutely amazing and a big ol' caftan was the perfect outfit for an indulgent dinner :)

on sunday nights city house hosts "sunday supper", which includes an ever-changing menu and plates ideal for sharing!  i'm vegetarian and they had plenty of great options:

{cheese grits, roasted vegetable ragu, farm egg}

{peach + semolina upside-down cake w/ mascarpone crema}

i would definitely recommend city house if you're ever in nashville. hope you're all having an amazing week!

leopard lady.

romper: victoria's secret, belt: banana republic, shoes: jessica simpson, earrings: borrowed,rings: aldo

leopard anything always makes me so happy - i wore this romper out in miami and it kept me cool all night long. i love wearing rompers in the summer because they're so light and breezy!

also, i've been playing around with photoshop recently.  do you guys have any favorite tips/filters? let me know!

miami vibe.

shorts: alice + olivia, top: vintage, shoes: wild pair, necklace: f21, gloves: patricia field

i'm back after my lovely vacation (hence the lack of posts) and i feel so happy & relaxed! it's important to take a break every once in a while, even if it means just taking out thirty minutes to read a book or call a friend.

one of the many fun things about going to miami is getting to wear funky outfits that i might not normally wear in nashville. i paired these alice + olivia shorts with a fun crop top and some seriously funky wedges - clearly i was feeling very 80s!

hope you're all having a great day :)

massachusetts photo diary.

did you know they call sprinkles jimmies up north??

i bought this cute little book where i write things that make me happy :)

 

in the past six years, massachusetts has become my second home.  i visit once or twice a year to hang out with my best friend and we always have so much fun together! this year we spent time in cape cod, provincetown and boston - our days were full of beautiful beaches, amazing people, and delicious food!

now it's time for my miami adventure..i'm going to throw on a romper, a pair of platforms, and head out for cocktails :)

teal!

leggings: american apparel, top: bar III, shoes: shi, earrings: purpose, bracelet: heavy metal by lw

these american apparel leggings are everything. no joke. you'd be surprised at how much use i get out of these babies, they just seem to go with anything!  this is the last look from my photos with marty cherry - can't wait to do another shoot with him, he's amazing.

...and just so you know - my next few post are bound to be vacation posts, because i'm currently in cape cod and will be traveling around to boston, provincetown, and maybe even martha's vineyard while i'm here!  then next week i'm flying down to miami for a few days. yipee!!

i'll keep you all posted (literally) on my travels. ok, that was a bad joke!

i'm so excited to be one of the ten bloggers wearing this american living for jcpenney top today - it's made for summer with it's comfy denim fabric and puffed sleeves (btw - i laughed out loud when i looked at the photos because my outfit kind of reminded me of a quinceanera)!  don't forget to check out all of the other fabulous bloggers to see how they styled the top: Adored Austin, Color Me Nana, Eat Sleep Wear, Love Lace Luxe, Profesh Style, See Jane Work Play Live, Trop Rouge, Viva Fashion Blog, and Wit & Whimsy.

shorts: blank, shoes: bordello, earrings: indian, tank: hanes, rings: vintage & house of harlow

happy fourth of july! there's something fun about celebrating in jean shorts, a cut up hanes tank, and a serious pair of platforms :)

btw - i recently ate at my favorite nashville food truck, the grilled cheeserie, and took a few photos while i was there :)  if you're in town, you MUST go - my friend crystal owns it and she's just amazing!

(i had a sandwich with italian pesto cheese, basil, eggs, and sun dried tomato aioli.  SO GOOD!)

hope everyone has a lovely holiday!

motel.

robe: vintage, belt: french connection, earrings: handmade, shoes: miss me

here are some more photos from the shoot i did with my friend marty - we had lots of fun shooting in this old motel close to my house.  i love how all of these photos came out because my expressions are much edgier than normal - must have been in a mood that day lol!

anyone have fun plans for the fourth of july? i usually celebrate with family, friends, food, and fireworks. doesn't get much better than that :)
