(these are the last of my pictures from when i was home.)
my mom & i decided to have a lazy day together.
we hung out at our favorite coffee shop for a few hours and then walked around downtown.
mother/daughter time is something i use to take for granted when i was younger.
now, i appreciate every minute of it.

xoox.

ps. i changed my blog layout again. sorry. i just wanted something simple & clutter-free.

  5. You look beautiful! It looks so sunny and pretty outside there. I love the colors in your outfit. Your day with your mom sounds perfect! It's so easy to overlook the quality time we have with parents when you're younger, but as we get older we definitely learn to appreciate that time. <3

  6. I really really like this outfit. The colors are beautiful as is that cowl! You photograph so well too, I love it.

    Also, the new blog layout is so great. I love how the attention is more on your photos now than the background. Simplicity is great! I've toyed around with the idea to go simple for such a long time but haven't made the plunge yet. We'll see : )

  7. Loving the new clutter-free layout dear! I think the header could be a bit bigger (ie. covering the whole width) though :) Loving the colors of this outfit, especially all the maroons! This photo location is to die for! I'm going shopping with mom after lunch today!

  10. Whoa, did your mom take these pics too? Incredible. Tell her I think she's got skillz, and she probably already knows how beautiful and stylish her daughter is too but you can let her know I think that also. ;)

  43. I wish I could see my mom more, but she's back home, and I work weekdays and she works retail so she's busy on the weekends. I wish we were able to hang out more often. It's great you got a day with your mom, and it looks like a beautiful day.

  46. a. I'm so glad you linked your cowl because I'm totally going to get the bright yellow one stat! Thanks!

    b. You could most definitely rock suspenders. I think anyone who likes oxfords and mary janes can rock suspenders. It's my new rule that I made up.

  49. I love that shirt, and your new blog layout. And your scarf. And you. My comments are so boring, I'm sorry! But I'm glad you had good mom time, mom time is the best time.

  50. i was totally wondering if i came to the right place, then read about your bloggy makeover. i like the clean look, easy to navigate and also doesn't obstruct your lovely photos!

    but okay, when i read that quote, man... tingles up and down my spine. it rings so true to me, where do you find these perfect prose?!

    and then more than that, how do you rock a gap skirt and make it come off as some vintage piece of joy?!!! i love your style, as i've said many times before but it bares repeating. so true about appreciating those moments when we're grown, glad you got to spend the quality time. xo ♥

  52. Oh Gee, I have so enjoyed getting caught up on your blog:) All your photos are the most gorgeous eye candy...these ones are particularly stunning. That bridge is amazing. And of course your outfit is perfect as always.
    Thanks so much for your condolences:) Have a wonderful week darling! <3, Marisa
