Late Night Laguna Beach

 
 
I can't help but laugh when I look at these pictures. They remind me of the cheesy opening credits to Laguna Beach from a million years ago. A book cover perhaps? This dress is totally not my usual style, either. Something about it really jumped at me on the Motel Rocks site though and I just had to have it! It's like biker meets vixen meets girly. I don't know. I just know I need some fierce Sam Edelman Zoe boots to pair with it! Yes and yes! I opted to go the "Kaelah" route by pairing it with a dainty floral cardi with a big print. I think it helps balance it out a little bit. I'm thinking next time I'm going to opt for a cream lace motorcycle jacket! I think the styling opportunity for this dress is endless! I'm a bit short in the torso though, so I had to keep it pulled up to avoid any indecent exposure. Yowza! (Sorry for so many photos!)

 
  
 
 

The sunset makes these photos, without a doubt. We've had so much fun poking around various places in my hometown to take pictures. These were taken three blocks from my parents' house in a parking lot. I guess the uber rainy day had something positive about it! 

 
 

At this point I'm sure Mike and I are elbow deep in roadtrip singalongs, Diet Cokes, and instax photos. Exciting, right?! Hope your Thursday is positively perfect, honeybees! xo

Black Mesh dress c/o Motel Rocks
Forever 21 cardigan

PS; Prepare to see these flats a lot in the next several outfit posts! I wore them so very much on our hometown adventures!

    your floral cardigans blow my mind. And seriously, so nice to know someone else is as addicted to floral dress as I am...especially with cardigans! Love it!

    that's a very good combination! I love the dress, black always looks good! and with the tattoos - to die for (and I just LOVE your sleeve. I'm one tattoo loving lady, I tell you). Have a great weekend Kaelah! all the best from far away germany :)

    That dress is so sassy!

    Have you explored Printer's Alley or the Arcade downtown for pictures? Printer's Alley used to be a favorite of mine for photo ops: the random cement pot-o-gold, the bright red door, faded mural, etc. It's really lovely in an urban decay sort of way.

    These photos are amazing; I am so jealous you have a talented photographer fiance; my other half has a skill at taking almost exclusively out of focus photographs even on an autofocus digital. It's a gift. You look gorgeous as always, and that sunset is a beaut!
