Americana Whites

Hi guys! Can I just say it's going to be such a relief when this week is over.  Though a lot of the stuff I've got going on is good stuff, there's so many little extras going on this week its throwing me for a loop.  It's also been oddly dreary for Colorado this week, except for the day I shot these photos last Friday where it was so bright I look like I'm scowling in almost every shot!

Outfit Details
Dress - thrifted- similar
Crown - handmade - for sale in the shop here!
Shoes - similar

As I've mentioned before, one of the most exciting (and stressful) things I have coming up is selling at my first market this weekend in Boulder!  If you're local, you should definitely stop by and say hello!  It's right in Boulder's "central park" on 13th and canyon and I'll be there SUNDAY from 11-5! Cross your fingers for good weather and friendly customers!  I also have a super fun giveaway and collaboration coming up with two of my favorite NYC bloggers Noelle's Favorite Things and Jag Lever for a $100 gift card to my shop!  I will be posting more information on instagram so stay tuned!  In the meantime, you can see their adorable BFF style post wearing vintage from my shop here!

The Most Ridiculous Shirt

Hi guys, I hope you had a wonderful 4th!  This is what I donned for America's birthday.  I can't believe I'm actually posting this outfit on my blog. This shirt is half a joke, half really really serious.

I usually try to avoid shopping at Walmart, but it's unfortunately the only store in easy walking distance of our house.  R and I walked there on Friday to grab a few groceries for the weekend when I spotted this gem of a shirt on the rack. You guys. It's a kitten, holding a rocket pop and pinwheel with fireworks in its eyes wearing an uncle sam hat.  You can't really get more patriotic than that.  And it's even made in the good ole U.S.A.  I tried to find a link to it since I know all of you will be just dying to get your hands on one, but I couldn't find it online!  I may or may not have also tied a matching hair bow on my poor cat and made her pose for a picture with me as well (on my insta here).  She was a good sport because treats were involved.

Back to reality and a super busy week tomorrow!

A Low Key 4th

Three day weekends are the best.  If every weekend was three days long I think everyone would be a lot happier! Except the people who work weekends.

Outfit Details:
Dyed Dress - c/o Oasap
White Sunnies - c/o Sunglass Warehouse
Wedges - thrifted
Necklace - handmade/ DIY
Fish Purse - gift from Mom (from Taiwan!)

This is what I wore on the fourth!  I went for a more understated red white and blue look than the screamingly patriotic kind this time around.  This new indigo and white dyed dress from Oasap was absolutely perfect for an ultra low key day of grilling (veggie for me) hot dogs, buzzed cherry pie baking, and playing ping pong.  I'll be honest, we may have had so much food and drink so early in the day that we were barely able to stay awake until it got dark.  We did catch the fireworks from across town out our window though!  

Yesterday R and I discovered that there is actually a BEACH less than a mile from our new house, something I never thought I'd say living here in Colorado.  The one thing I miss most about home in New Jersey is definitely the beach and ocean.  Even though our new find is only a reservoir, it has sand, a swimming area, and even a lifeguard, so I am one happy camper.  Now you know where you can find me on basically every summer weekend from here on out!

Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend!

Patriotic Roundup

Hi guys! If you're in the grand ole USA, Happy 4th of July to you!  I didn't get my act together to actually photograph my red, white, and blue for a post today in advance, so I thought I would do a little patriotic roundup of past outfits!

  

I love how each of the photos holds a memory, as they were taken spanning back over the last three or so years of blogging! From the prairies of Colorado, to the old Victorian houses of Cape May New Jersey (middle right), to the island of Kauai, Hawaii (middle), we sure do have a beautiful country!
I hope you all of a wonderful day with family and friend!

Small Town America

Happy Friday!  I hope all of you in the U.S. have off work today, but unfortunately I am stuck here! I had a great day off for the 4th yesterday though so working today isn't too bad.  What did you guys do to celebrate America's birthday?



Outfit Details: Dress & Scarf - Vintage // Sandals - BC Footwear

     R and I went to an awesome food truck party on Wednesday night to start off the holiday right.  We mixed up some tasty mojitos and then walked to get some Mexican food truck dinner and and cupcakes from a dessert truck too!  Yesterday we had a really low key 4th, grabbing a picnic lunch from a little grocery store in this little adorable town above and then heading into the mountains to eat and lunge by the creek.  It rained a little but but we made a makeshift sheet tent and waited for the sunshine to return.  We then headed back to drink a few beers, make a pizza, and bake some chocolate chip cookies to finish off the night! So yeah, we rang in America's birthday with lots of delicious junk food, which is pretty appropriate right?
     Any plans for the weekend? I know this is a big camping and mini holiday weekend for a lot of people, but my plan is to avoid the crowds and enjoy my first weekend at my new apartment.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

p.s.  I will leave you with this gem.  If you are wondering what sitting on a scalding hot metal bench looks like right as you realize its too hot and jump back up, now yo don't have to wonder anymore!
