Weekend Adventures


How was your weekend? We finally made it up to the islands for a weekend of wineries, bike rides, and sunshine. It was exactly the summer celebration I needed, and I can't wait to do it again!

We found this perfect spot by chance when Ben's bike chain popped off. We pulled over for a little impromptu maintenance and found ourselves in the middle of the most picturesque vineyard. Naturally I made Ben drop everything he was doing and take pictures.

I've had this dress for a few years, and it's always been a favorite. It has the most perfect fit and flare shape and cutesy retro appeal. I paired it with a crisp white button down tied at the waist and my favorite summer sandals.

Other highlights of the weekend: swimming at an MTV Spring Break style party pool just to escape the heat (full of lols) and checking out Chris Evans and Tilda Swinton in Snowpiercer at our new local art house theater, the Nightlight (super intense/violent, but so so good!)

  18. Totally random, but about a year ago I saw you in this dress at Angel Falls w/yr dude. I remember thinking, "OMG THIS DRESS IS PERFECT" and then I saw one like it at Gabriel Brother's and almost bought it. Which is a long winded way of saying, this dress is so pretty on you.

    1. Haha, that's awesome. You should have bought it so we could go on a polka-dot coffee date! But something tells me you have a variety of perfect polka-dot options already...
