in which i am back in the summer spirit!

Whoops, sorry for my absence of late! I have had a horrendously hard time getting out of bed in the morning, which barely leaves me enough time to dress myself, let alone take photos of the final product. I was going to wear something altogether different today but at the last minute reminded myself that I only have so many more warm-weather weeks to go and threw on this fun little romper for the full summer-day effect. It makes me want to have a picnic. Unfortunately, I am not having a picnic. Unless eating an apple at my desk counts... (it doesn't).

(romper: old navy; hat/blouse: thrifted; shoes: kohl's; necklace: gift from k)

I have had such a wallow-y week and I am incredibly ready for it to be over. Tonight I will be watching Project Runway and eating. And drinking. And then tomorrow night K and I are FINALLY going to the drive-in (I'm documenting it here so he can't back out at the last minute--you hear me, K??) This weekend he has to study for a final, and now that I'm out of my funk I think I'm ready to buckle down and spend the weekend exercising my creative muscle (my brain). If I could finish the first draft of my screenplay this weekend that would be excellent, especially considering that the last time I sat down to write it I decided that the entire premise needed to be radically redone.

I also want to hit JoAnn's this weekend and maybe pick up some discount fabric for a little project I've had brewing in my mind for the past couple of days. I started a new blog that will combine my love of fashion and travel (and will hopefully act as a launching-point for said project). More on that later! In the meantime, I'm glad to be back :)

  1. I like your new blog - totally want that first suitcase! I would like to go to a drive in, since there aren't any here they hold a bit of a romantic image for me. Glad you are making the most of summer clothing, I need to start doing so too.

  3. I love the romper, the colours in it are so wonderful!! Very perfect for a picnic, even if it is a desk picnic. I need this week to be over too, went back to work and am exhausted!

  4. I'm starting to regret my bitterness towards summer. I've been wishing it away lately, but I really need to just embrace it and have some fun with it! If I don't wear my summer clothes now I'll be trying to wear them in a few months and that would just be silly.
    Your new blog looks like fun. I have a little vintage suitcase I picked up at the thrift store but it's so small! Pretty to look at though.
