Just a little film recap of my week in Indianapolis with Susannah last month. You could say we really like breakfast. I kind of miss it (and her! and that French toast at 3 Sisters Cafe!) already and I wouldn't mind going on another girls' trip. Just sayin. We talked about making it a yearly tradition so maybe next year we'll venture somewhere totally different. :)
Happy Friday, friends!
PS; I'm booking sponsorships for October now! I'm trying to book them as early as possible as I won't be online a ton right before the wedding! Email me at kaelahbee@gmail.com (with the subject SPONSOR) if you'd like to guarantee a spot! You can see traffic + stats (not updated yet, sorry!) HERE!
This week is short and sweet thanks to my spotty and almost non-existant internet connection here in Indy. Susannah and I celebrated Tuesday (and you know, like, our friendship) with BFF tattoos while on our trip. We looked up a few shops and decided to head over to Irish Ink on Mass Ave to check it out. Turns out it was perfect time to squeeze in two walk-ins so an hour later we were getting stenciled up.
SB and I have been planning on doing this for ages but we'd never just done it. We also didn't know what we wanted to do. We knew we wanted something silly but sentimental, and we toyed with a bunch of ideas for a while. We finally came up with this one while drinking New Old Ladies (totes our drink). It really just seemed appropriate. Silly enough for us, but still special. And it can stand on it's own.
Ben McQueen at Irish Ink did them for us, and we were/are stoked on them. Susannah and I have decided to make our girls trips an annual thing so hopefully we'll have plenty of other silly tattoos, photos and stories to add over time.
The tattoos are totally doofy and you're probably all side-eyein' us right now. But I'm super happy we were able to make it happen. Love that girlllllll.
Today I'm on the road, headed back to Nashville to a house full of silly boys and sassy pups. It's been a super awesome trip and I'll definitely do a recap shortly. I'm sending off a roll or two of film today so I'll have to wait to get that back. Anyway, happy Thursday!
I'll admit that these photos are a bit sub-par, but I thought I'd share what I'm packing for my Indianapolis trip with Susannah this week, along with the playlist that I'm going to be exhausting on the 5 hour drive up!
(Packing list: Dresses (l to r): yellow + taupe dress c/o Eshakti, Dorothy Perkins, Ross, Ross, Blue Juice via Stitch Fix, c/o Speedy Girl, Ross, H&M -- Shirts + Jackets: lace + chambray shirt c/o SheInside, H&M, Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, H&M -- Shoes: Idas c/o BAIT, Jeffrey Campbell Lita Spikes, black wedges c/o Blowfish, MIA Jukebox wedges -- Bags: Epiphanie camera bag gifted from Adobe, Michael Kors Gansevoort Tote, Akira clutch -- Various belts + beauty products -- Nikon F4 + film)
If you can't already tell, I'm a chronic over-packer. 8 dresses for 4 days? Well, I like to be prepared! It's kind of counterproductive for me to even pack when I go on trips like these because I like to go shopping since I've saved my money and I'll always end up wearing the dresses/stuff that I bought, ya know? Then I just come home with a lot of wrinkled clothes that never should've left the hanger!
I'm not taking a digital camera with me so I'm relying solely on shooting film for the trip. I thought it'd be fun to snap a few photos and see how they turned out a few weeks later. Reallllly trying to get in the habit of constantly snapping away.
We're planning on doing a lot of different stuff while we're in Indianapolis like go to the Indiana State Fair, Circle Centre (always!), thrifting, find some fun restaurants/cafes/bars and hopefully some really great boutiques. I wanted to be prepared for whatever we might get into so I've got wedges, flats, cardigans, clutches and dresses galore. It really just sounds like I'm trying to justify my overflowing bag haha Don't forget a million different belts. A blogger's version of Portlandia: Put a belt on it.
I created a playlist on Spotify that I can listen to (over and over and over) on my way up tomorrow. Here it is below. If this playlist doesn't make you want to dance then I just don't really want to be your friend. ;)
So do any of you have any suggestions on things we should do/see or places we should go while in Indianapolis? We'll be there Monday-Thursday so give us some suggestions! We're excited!
