red brick wall

one of my absolute favorites, such a happily depressing tune: "gotta have you" by the weepies

gotta love taking blog pictures while waiting to be seated for brunch. only reason i could justify wearing both a long sleeve shirt and a long skirt while in the dead of summer was because it actually wasn't over 100 degrees.. which for us texans means fall clothing, obviously. i also like that this entire outfit basically encompasses all of my favorite brands. 

oh, and don't worry, both pieces of clothing were of a very light/airy/silk material (since i know you were all very concerned for my sanity for a second there). 

{madewell top, zara skirt, ray ban aviators (that i lost!), cape cod bracelet, j.crew sandals}

white out

obsessed with jerry douglas' cover of the boxer feat. mumford & sons and paul simon

{zara scarf, club monoco shirt, j.crew shorts}

these were taken in the backyard of my home in massachusetts (i know, its a fairytale backyard) -- im not really one to wear animal print since im always scared of the trashy/classy fine line but when your mom buys you a scarf from zara, you better love it and make it work. 

gold studs

currently obsessed with "higher love" covered by james vincent mcmorrow

found this dress during a shopping day in nyc.. it is everything i could hope for: lightweight and simplistic, with just the right amount details in the form of beautiful little gold studs.
