New England Summer

Martha's Vineyard

Provincetown

Ogunquit, Maine

I had an amazing time this summer visiting family in New England! It was great to see family who I hadn't seen in ages, and to grow closer with some of them - my second cousins are more like sisters now :)

She Wore Dior

Love my new Dior heels! Got them for a great price, and the wooden platform and heel are amazing!
They go with almost everything - no wonder people say that animal print is the new neutral.

P.S.

Hahaha please kindly ignore the fact that my feet are a different color from my legs :) a summer of golf will do that to a girl

but there's more

He shrugged. He held the cigarette out in front of him and they watched it burn, a single ember in the heavy, humid night.
"I thought it would make me look..." He tapped the cigarette and flakes of ash fluttered to the ground.
She knew she was meant to finish the thought but she smiled instead.
"Well, it doesn't," she said petulantly, stepping closer and setting her wrists onto his shoulders, her fingers brushing against the back of his neck as they knitted together. They looked at each other for a moment. He crushed the lit end of the cigarette into the potted plant to his left.
"You know, smoking's bad for you." Her hands slid along the sides of his neck until she cupped his delicate jaw in her palms. She tilted his face up towards hers.
"Lots of things are bad for you," he murmured. The air around them lost its dampness and crackled.

you said you don't like erotica

She watched the stream of smoke curl out of his lazily parted lips into the warm, dark air. Eyeing the skinny, lit cigarette in his pale, stylistically posed fingers, she reached over and took it. First holding it unceremoniously between the pads of her thumb and index finger, she slid it until it rested against her middle finger. She took a fraction of a second to glance at her hand, checking that the image mirrored that of photographs and films, before popping it into her mouth.
"You smoke?"
She glanced up at him through blackened lashes.
"No," she replied, removing it from between her lips and holding it aloft, for him. A column of ash topped the cigarette and snowed to the ground as he took it from her fingers. He assessed it nonchalantly, staring at the ring of shimmery pink that her lips had printed on it before closing his mouth over it and taking a long drag.
"Since when have you?" she asked, glancing out into the silent street. A flash of lights and exhaust rushed by and then disappeared.
"Since when have I what?" he replied, tilting his chin up and puffing out a stream of smoke rings that drifted up towards the sky. He followed them up with his gaze.
When he looked back down she was standing, in front of him, tracing a loop around the inside of the last ring with a single finger.
"Smoked," she answered, her hand still poised in the air as the smoke drifted and dissolved around her outstretched finger.

A quick sketch of my new boots from Free People

You'll definitely be seeing them at some point - they're much more fall than summer so it may be a while, but I'm very excited to wear them!

Summer, Part I

Bracelet from Calypso

I wanted to share my favorite clothes, accessories, and beauty products of summer!

My summer wardrobe is unique in the fact that I make an effort to abstain from wearing or using "summer" things for most of the year. That way those items remain wholly Summer, as opposed to being tainted by the depressing stench of school and stress. (A tad melodramatic, I know. But still.)
So when it is summer, like now, I go all-out in wearing summer clothes and accessories. Which, of course, only adds to the fun of summer!

Part II of this post is very soon to come! Here's a sneak preview :)

Note: the word "summer" was used 9 times in this post. So, naturally, it began to sound like gibberish and I had to google it to make sure it was an actual word.

Remember winter? Me neither!

Elie Tahari brocade shift dress, coat from Antropologie


I love these Tory Burch heels!

I'm enjoying summer SO much right now but I thought I'd juxtapose by posting this holiday brunch outfit from a few days after Christmas.

...Also I forgot to post these a million years ago but this outfit is so cute I wanted to put it up anyway!

Hope those of you on holiday are having a great time!

With the sun in your eyes

Free People slip worn over Cosabella slip, sweater from Anthropologie, boots by Vanessa Bruno

So over the winter I scored these amazing Vanessa Bruno boots - I'd been searching for brown leather lace-up boots for ages and I finally found this perfect pair. I love the Victorian-Secret Garden-bohemian-military look of them; boots like these are surprisingly versatile and do a lot to amp up any outfit - even just a couple of slips layered as a dress!

Loving these boots so much... maybe one of my favorite purchases EVER.

(Check out the cool gold studs that the laces wrap around!)

Georgia May Jagger

This girl. Love her photos, style, Chanel campaign, and she comes off quite well in interviews. And she's only 19.

Sorry I've been gone for a while - expect some new posts and news coming up soon.
