stripes //

there are more stripes in my closet than any other pattern.
stripes are timeless and transcend dress types.
stripes can be casual or dressy, flirty or fresh.
below i decided to get a little stripe-happy...

*not my images. my combos.

mix //

it's all in the mix.
mix of prints, mix of colors, mix of textures.
take the unexpected and put it together in good taste.

happy 4th !!

lovely laura. loads of lockers.

a couple of weekends ago, after church, we came across these awesome red lockers.
laura, as gorgeous as she is, was kind enough to play model.

face it //

whatever the day, week or month brings, no matter the task, there is only one solution - face it! take what you've got and make it work. procrastination is my worst enemy and is so easy to fall into. i choose to stare like these gorgeous women, and show some serious face. ha!

*I do not own these images.

if it were possible - i would wear white everyday. here are a few ways i'd do it...

*non of these images are mine

the hermitage //

the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia is the second biggest museum in the world, right after the Louvre in Paris, France. needless to say, it is an amazing sight to behold with history, art and detail that could only be fully appreciated in person. at the end of our tour my mind was running wild with inspiration, but my feet were begging for me to sit down.

european architecture //

we recently took a trip to the Baltic and were fortunate to see some amazing sights. these are some architectural details i spotted along the way. some are from Denmark, others from Russia, a few from Finland, along with Sweden, and even a couple from Estonia.
