youthfulness

"you are as young as you feel. if you begin to feel the warmth of your soul, there will be a youthfulness in you that no one will be able to take away from you."

hello loves, 
i missed you all while i was away..i am always amazed when i take a break from blogging.. how much i miss it. 
i just got back from a week in Charleston, SC with my mother. 
it is always a wonderful time when we have some together time alone. 
plus, Charleston is probably one of the most beautiful cities i have ever been to. 
we were complete nerds and enjoyed the history of Charleston the whole time..
we went on a bus tour, went to many museums, and of course enjoyed some shopping. 
if you ever get the chance to go, i would not pass it up. 
i do not think i will be going again in the summertime.. (it was so humid) but going in the fall is on my to do list. 

(ps. these pictures are not from charleston .. i took them right before we left in chattanooga. it was WAY to hot to do any sort of outfit pictures while in charleston)

  30. I'm actually in North Carolina at the moment, but I would love to venture a bit further south. There's something spooky and romantic about touring wonderful old houses and drinking up all that history... Anyways, I'm glad to hear you had fun. :)

    As for your outfit, I'm loving the soft pastels. You look like candy! And that vintage dress is kind of perfect; I'm crazy about the little pleats and peeks of lace.
