Hello my darlings,

Being on the tall side for a girl makes finding dresses that are long enough quite a difficult feat. It seems like every summer dress made is created for girls closer to five feet, rather than us almost-six-feeters. As a result, these summer “dresses” appear to be more like a longer tank-top on me.

You know those 100 tall girl problems? Story of my life. Anyways, where I was going with this was that dresses seem to always be on the short side for me, which is why I am super loving the whole summer dress/knee-high socks combo. It conceals a little more of my gangly-ness (I’ve warned you before… I tend to make up my own words 😛 ).

This flowy spring dress is also known as the Jada dress. I love the pale blue coloring of it and paired it with some black knee-highs.

I explored this little downtown area where all the boutiques and antique stores captivated me for hours. I loved walking into all the little shops and seeing the cute things that they had!

Best of all, I finally got to try this ice-cream place that I’ve been dying to try. Let me tell you, it was out of this world! I could honestly say that I would be back a few times a week if only it were a little closer to home. With such unique flavors like lavender chocolate and olive oil vanilla bean, I will definitely be back to try them all. Of course I will also make sure to take some snaps of the delightfulness next time I go. I think I was a little too excited to try it.

Until next time…

Xoxo,

Lena

Hello loves! Is it just me or are rustic places with that vintage look the absolute cutest? I’m not exactly sure how to pinpoint it, but what I do know is that there is something special about feeling like you’re a part of a place that has been around for longer than you have (aka a nice way of saying OLD!). All the memories that have been made there, the conversations and laughs that have been shared. It’s also interesting how you see things in a different light when you aren’t just briskly walking by, but actually take the time to enjoy beauty for what it is.

The outfit that I chose to wear was pretty fitting for the environment, in my opinion. I mean, those cowboy booties and barns just go hand-in-hand, am I right or am I right?!

I also paired it with my Brandy Melville shorts which are super easy to dress up or down. They’re basically pajama shorts but socially acceptable to wear outside (phew!) and are a basic essential piece to have.

I finished this outfit with a white medium length crop top which has some detailing in the front. Gotta love those details..they keep things interesting. 🙂

Sometimes you just need to step away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I love taking that time to slow down… and I feel like that is exactly what most of my weekends consist of!

So… I may or may not have gone a little nuts inside of this beautiful new place that I have been wanting to go to see for quite some time.

Every single thing about the decor inside was perfect! From the chalkboard walls, to the sparkly lit patio to the picture perfect furniture… I can just go on and on.

Um, can I just move in? Okay maybe I’m being a little over-enthusiastic, but I truly enjoyed the atmosphere inside.

Yes, please. I think the pictures give you quite a good idea of what exactly was inside those great walls. And to think there’s more that I wasn’t able to capture on film!

Well the day was beautiful and I enjoyed taking the time to slow down and take all these sights in. I hope you enjoyed coming along on this journey with me. You were there in spirit, at least.

Join me next time too, yeah?

xoxo,

Lena
