Wilmington Roadtrip: A Photo Journey



Finally! I'm starting to catch up on my posts and I can finally subject y'all to a million iPhone photos of our roadtrip! Granted we've been back from said trip almost a week now, between all of the NYC and Levi's shenanigans, I'm only starting to feel less stressed. I'm sure work this weekend didn't help! More on that later! I'll post several photos and then coordinating captions under them. Then a few more and so on. If you have a slow internet connection then you should probably just skip this post all together! It's going to be all sorts of ridiculous!

oo1. part of the 14 hour drive. oo2. i fell asleep for an hour and a half, and mike proceeded to drive the wrong direction the entire time. oo3. our classy establishment. oo4. getting ready to grab some dinner. oo5. our choice of thursday's meal. pizza and beer.

PS; Almost all of these photos were edited in the iPhone app, Cross Process.



Cranberry Lace Cowgirl








This outfit was from one of our final days in Wilmington. Saturday maybe? Daytime? I'm honestly not sure. This past week has been nothing short of go-go-go and exhausting. But also exhilarating. I can't forget that! This lace zip up motorcycle jacket is from H&M when I was living in NYC last summer. I remember getting it and Mike wasn't really feeling it. I wasn't 100% sold on it either so I only wore it once or twice. I pulled it out of my bag this weekend and decided it was a great way to brighten up the dark tights and wedges with this outfit. The dress, as always, is from Urban Outfitters, and the tights are cheapo Walmart ones (my fave!). The wedges are Dolce Vita x Target and the belt is Forever 21. The bag is also Forever 21! Someone mentioned that I forgot to cite it last week so here you go!

I'm sure you've all heard about the heartbreaking earthquake and tsunami currently affecting Japan and the surrounding regions. The video footage is almost unbearable to watch. Mike's brother, Ryan, is currently living and teaching in Taiwan so we were worried about him, but luckily he is safe. So many others aren't as fortunate. Please take a few minutes out of your day to catch up on all of the news, say a prayer or just offer some kind/positive thoughts.

I'll be writing updates for the Vogue and Levi's Shape Whats To Come party as well as my entire NYC trip, and lots of pictures from our roadtrip. I have an iPhone dump, random pictures from out and about, and super adorable pictures of Chris and Susannah if she'll let me post some! I'll be playing catch up for several days so please just hang with me! xo
