Starry

09 January 2012

Hello and happy Monday everyone! Super quick outfit post from me today. I
snapped these photos this morning while the rain finally stopped for a quick bit.
So I am literally about to step out the door for today's adventures (definitely
including IKEA and finally going to the Texas In N Out).

Hope you all have a lovely start to your week! ♥

Around Town

06 January 2012

Oh boy was yesterday a wonderful day out and about in none other than Springfield, Missouri. I always have a good time in this town, A.) because it's cool, and B.) I always come here to visit my boyfriend's awesome family. Yesterday we spent the day out and about with Ryan's mom and his sister, going to places that are unique to the town. We went to this amazing/adorable crepe place first, called the Aviary Cafe where we had delicious Pomme Frites (as pictured above) and for lunch I had an egg-basil-cheese-caramelized onions crepe. Seriously so good! As if this wasn't enough food I just had to stop by the cupcake shop next door and get myself a red velvet cupcake. The addiction following my cake pop one.

Anyways after visiting a few neat antique shops and such we stopped by the grand finale, Red Velvet vintage shop (everything pictured from the terrariums and below)! So I am sure many of you are familiar with Elsie from A Beautiful Mess... this is her adorable shop! The shopping experience is truly enchanting there, covered in amazing displays and of course beautiful vintage clothing. And the twist is that there is a sweets shop at red velvet with candy and cupcakes galore. After meeting Elsie (a complete sweetheart) she sent me home with an adorable over-sized dotted clutch. What a lovely gift from an even lovelier girl!

I hope you all have a wonderful day as well! ♥

03 January 2012

Channeling my inner 'southern girl' with this look, and I have to say it felt pretty good. Just threw it together for a day of adventuring in the morning, and despite the "you look like Jack White" comment I received from Ryan, I continued out the door with pride! Anyways, these are my favorite kind of days. Nothing specific to do, no agenda, just wandering about and having fun. We got to see the sunset at Mt. Sequoyah which overlooks the whole town, one of my absolute favorite things to do. And then the evening was spent playing cards and listening to good tunes with friends. Can't beat a chill day like this!

Hope you all are having a lovely week! ♥
