Shorts in Winter

Top - Anthropologie.  Cardigan - Urban Outfitters.  Shorts - Forever 21.  Tights - Target.  Booties - Urban Outfitters.  

I adore being on vacation - if there were a way I could make it a career, I would in a heartbeat.  I spent the last two weeks on vacation at home in my hometown with my family.  My dad took these pictures for me - while I would have loved for him to take more that I could have used for the blog, we were having too much fun celebrating the holidays.

My dad, brother, and I took a day trip today to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).  I love visual art, especially modern art - though my knowledge is limited on the subject - and left feeling incredibly inspired.

1. No Title, stacked plates, Robert Therrien
2. Cows in the Lowland, oil on canvas, Emil Nolde
3. Music Room Mirror from the Milton Latham Residence, Thurlow Lodge, Menlo Park, CA, Herter Brothers

Red Like a Tomato

More vacation!  I did some gardening today, which was a great excuse to be outside enjoying the sun.  My dad and I pruned the rose bushes in our front yard, did some watering and weeding, and I picked an entire bowl full of homegrown tomatoes off of our vines.  I debated saving this skirt to wear tomorrow to celebrate the 4th, but the bright red of the tomatoes inspired me.

Thank you to my dad for taking photos for me again today!  Just as a reminder, you can check out more of his work at http://365project.org/webfoot/ and/or at http://aphotoortwoaday.blogspot.com.

The Village

Top - loan from a friend.  Bandeau - Francesca's Collection.  Jeans - Nordstrom.  Sandals - American Eagle.  Earrings - The Little Dress Shop boutique

Currently listening to: Landslide, Fleetwood Mac


A very casual outfit for today, probably not my most stylish, but perfect for walking around the Village in downtown Claremont - my hometown - with both of my parents today.  I'm loving, loving, loving being on vacation; getting plenty of sleep, eating so much good food, enjoying some of the best weather in the world, and spending time with my family.


My dad took the photos I posted today - one of his many talents is photography, and he's doing me a favor by taking pictures for me while I'm at home.  You can see more of his work here: http://365project.org/webfoot (he's taken some pictures of me in the past for his photo project) or check out his blog that includes much of his photography at http://www.aphotoortwoaday.blogspot.com.


Also, wishing my wonderful boyfriend a very happy 23rd birthday today!
