Southern Style < 3

Yesterday i was lucky enough to visit Eden Gardens State Park, and OH MY GOSH! It was so beautiful! With a huge white - painted mansion, gorgeous gardens, a fountain, and plenty of Spanish moss, i felt like i had walked into a plantation of the old South. We arrived just as the sun was about to set, so the lighting was perfect: everything seemed to be frosted with glittering sunlight. Anyways, enough gushing and on to the photos!

Today i starting breaking out the Christmas presents - a rue21 striped tied shirt. Anyone have a name for this style?! Whatever it's called, i love it! I'm also wearing my usual Red Rivet jeans, and to top it off my absolute favorite pair of (my sister's) pumps! Skinny jeans + heels = perfection. Thanks to Christine for the photos, and also for letting me borrow her shoes!:)

A few photos i took on the grounds...

Christmas in Paradise

First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS! I had a wonderful time spending my day New Zealand - style with a game of touch rugby on the beach and lots of NZ cooking:) It seems like there always comes a time in a vacation when you're trying to decide what to wear and you realize that really all you have left is a random collection of clothes that are all pretty cute but don't go together at all. Today was that day. Anyways, since I didn't really plan on doing a photoshoot today, i just grabbed whatever was still clean (there's no time to do laundry when you're on vacation!) and headed out to the beach. Of course, once i got there it was just too pretty not to take any pictures! Here's to the beachy look:)

I'm wearing a Wet Seal levi jacket that i'm totally in love with - i wear it several times a week! It goes with everything, and it somehow manages to be made of denim and not look straight out of the nineties. Love:) I also have on cotton skirt that i bought over i NZ last Christmas which i paired with a simple white tee. All photo credit goes to my sister Christine!

Sixteen Going on Seventeen

Today i turned seventeen! To celebrate I had a picnic on the beach and did some seaside shopping! Look out for a post about my Florida purchases soon:) For now, here are some pictures of today's outfit. I'm wearing a navy lace top from rue21 that i absolutely love. It's great because you can wear it in winter because it has long sleeves, but since it's made of lace its cool enough to wear in the summertime! I also have on my favorite jean shorts from Kohls and an adorable Claire's owl necklace. Owl's seem to quite the trend at the moment! For a bag, i'm sporting a bright turquoise XOXO purse. Lastly, i'm wearing my worn out Rocket Dog sandals that I've had for years; i just can't find anything good enough to replace them!

Here are a few favorites from our picnic.

Special thanks to the Perillos for the sunglasses, nail polish, and lip color. Ya'll are amazing - i felt like a movie star with those shades!:) Keep your eyes out for a shoot features the lovely Julia and Michela Perillo soon.

Fabulous in Florida!

Today's post features a LOT of pictures! I'm terrible about making decisions, and i just couldn't bare to cut any of these. They include a few of my favorite shots from my first couple of days on vacation in Florida, and a gorgeous shoot featuring my wonderful sister Christine! She's wearing a rue21 western - themed tee, Vigold dark - wash skinnies, and blue canvas sneakers from Urban Outfitters. Perfect for a day at the beach!:)

Favorite shot!

I'm in love with this shirt - it's over sized in such a cute way!

Because no beach post would be complete without a sea bird picture:)

What could be better than a poodle sweater?

Hey guys! As i'm sure you all know, i love love love fashion, music, and photography:) Lately i've been so inspired by fashion blogs like The Only Fashion Princess and The Sartorialist that i decided i might as well just make my own. Hope you like it! I plan on posting some of my music soon too:]

Without further ado....my first shoot! Today i'm wearing a dELiA*s poodle sweater, my favorite military - style faux leather boots, a black pencil skirt from Forever 21, a pair of ribbed rue21 leggings (i'm seeing a pattern here - must be because my birthday is coming up on the 21st!), and a vintage faux pearl necklace.

Notice the tiny copper buttons?
