BFFs and Vintage

Happy Friday!
Here is an extra special outfit post wearing vintage from the shop with my best friend from college Rachel!  Some of them look like they're right out of that coffee table book "Awkward Family Photos", am I right or am I right?

Hannah's wearing:
Vintage Set - for sale in the shop here!
Shoes - H&M
Bow - gift
Rachel's Wearing:
Vintage Set - for sale in the shop here!
Chewie and Paisley are wearing:
Their Birthday Suits

Man do I miss my BFFs from New Jersey when I'm out here in Colorado, especially after returning from a trip.  Its so important to have people in your life that you can be silly with and totally yourself. Rachel happened to be house sitting for a friend when I drove up to visit her while home in New Jersey, so we of course tried to usher the pups into a few photos as well.  You can find the vintage skirt set Rachel is wearing in the shop here and the gingham shorts set I am wearing here!
    Anyway, off to drink a boat load of friday coff and try to get all my work done so I can enjoy my weekend!
xoxo!

Hannah Banana

Oh you know, just walking around in a mini dress covered in bananas. Another recent find from Oasap that turned out to be way more of a blouse and less of a dress, but I just could not pass up the print! Hannah Banana was a nickname growing up that I was not very fond of (I didn't like Bananas), but now I think its pretty cute!

Outfit Details:
Banana Mini - c/o Oasap
Hair Bow - Gift
Grey Sneakers - H&M (recent)
Tote - R designed, printed by Vistaprint

Anyway, these were taken in front of the lush foliage of an Ocean Grove house while I was on a walk taking photos of all of the beautiful victorian style houses I liked in town.  I'll probably do a separate post on the cute houses later!  Now, off to get back into the swing of things and get over this feeling of jet lag.  Coming back from vacation is always weird.

xoxo!

Caramel Sailor + Giveaway Winner!

Hi guys!

I'm still in NJ visiting friends and family but will be flying back to Colorado this evening... definitely bittersweet!  

Outfit Details
Sailor Dress - c/o Oasap
Vintage Purse/ Sandals/ Sunnies - Mom gifts
Boater Hat - Brixton via Swell
*Outfit Photos by my mom!

    This darling sailor "dress" arrived at my parent's doorstep here in New Jersey (the beautiful one shown in these photos!) I love the color and babydoll cut, but there is no way this could ever be a dress on me so now its a cute new blouse instead.  Thank goodness for these little spandex shorts I bring with me everywhere.
    Even more impressive is my dad's tropical garden in front of the house!  There's even a baby pineapple growing there which you can kind of make out under the fringe of my purse in the 3rd and last photos!
    Last but not least, I want to announce the winner of my big Super Summer Giveaway that ended last week! (Drum roll please...) Congratulations to Jasmine Thomas!  I will be emailing your shortly so we can get you your prizes! :)
Have a great start to your week!

Thistle Field

Hello hello!
   I did not fall off the face of the earth, as some of you may have suspected, but I'm actually home in New Jersey for the week!  I've had to keep it hush hush because I was flying home to surprise a friend for her bridal shower last weekend.  Anyway, I've been focusing more on catching up with friends and family than taking blog photos, but I had these saved from a fun lookbook shoot I did with Sunglass Warehouse a few weeks back.

Outfit Details:
Vintage Dress - for sale in the shop here!
Hat - Eddie Bauer
Sunglasses - c/o Sunglass Warehouse

You can see the full lookbook here, and read my interview over on their blog here!  I will try to update again shortly, but in the meantime, I hope you're enjoying these last days of summer!

Sail Away

This outfit makes me feel like I should be on a beautiful sailboat cruising a coast in the Mediterranean Sea.  However, the most "Mediterranean" thing I probably did today was eat humus. Possibly straight out of the tub.  Possibly with my fingers.

Outfit Details:

Black Sunhat - Sears? (old)

Sailboat Dress - thrifted

Sunnies - c/o Sunglass Warehouse

Shoes - hand-me downs

This little wicker swing on our front porch is a great little spot to come hang with R after he gets off work and enjoy a beer. Especially since these beautiful pink hibiscus-looking flowers are in bloom! Anyway, this week is busy busy but I'm trying to keep things in perspective and soak up lots of sunshine!

Mountain Sun

Each time I come back to shoot blog photos on this little path in my neighborhood, these wild sunflowers are bigger and bigger.  Note to self when shooting on a dirt path though:  do not where stilettos.  I teetered around looking like a weirdo and sinking completely into the mud with each step I took.  I should just keep my mouth shut though and let you guys think I am graceful and sophisticated. 

Outfit Details:
Patchwork Jacket - c/o Oasap
Jeans - Volcom
Sunglasses - Lulu*s
Heels - Shoemint

Its been cool and rainy the past few days here, so I jumped at the chance to take both shop and blog photos as soon as the sun came out yesterday.  I threw on this beautiful quilted jacket I just got in the mail, even though it was already much too hot to wear it.  For anyone who runs any sort of online shop, you know that natural sunlight is best for product photos, but boy is it frustrating when you plan to shoot listing pictures and then its too dark and gloomy for days so your work is stalled.  I think I should probably just invest in a better indoor lighting situation so I'm not so dependent on the weather, but lack of sunshine isn't typically a problem here in Colorado!

Anyway,  I am completely baffled that August has already arrived.  Lots of fun things planned this month.  Cheers to making the most of summer while its still around!
