and i feel so much depends on the weather, so is it raining in your bedroom?

here i am in my grimy backyard on a rainy afternoon trying to make the most of less than perfect weather/locations. we work with what we got right? i'm wearing my denim obsessions, the joni jeans from topshop. oh how i love these babies. super high waisted and comfortable, plus under 70$!! 

i'm also wearing my favourite sneakers, ash virgins in leather. i've had these since 2009 and i finally just wore through the soles (single tear) please tell me cobblers can fix that?

on the road - day 19

i put together this special number for dinner on day 19. when i was in new orleans i bought this sheer hawaiian blouse and i'm so in love with it. it works as a top, but it equally great worn open as a jacket and that print is such a summer classic.
but lets not get ahead of myself, here's what happened earlier on the most frustrating day of roadtrip 2012. i was trying to find some wildfox pieces i've been lusting over online, but none of the stores seemed to carry them. in my search i stupidly tried to walk around la, after hours trudging along random roads i ended up empty handed, starving and sweltering. la is not for walking. on the bright side i got to check out the legendary ameoba music and catch up with my bestie paige over dinner at yummy la poubelle. i also bought a gorgeous carnelian crystal charm that i've worn almost everyday since at a magazine shop down the block from the restaurant.
wearing: free people blouse, acne jeans, ash wedge sneakers, carnelian charm, tiffany ball chain

rings right: floral above the knuckle from pangea in nashville, street vendor snake ring

loveless cafe - praise the lard, pass the biscuts

so behind on posting, so this week i'm putting it all up. posts everyday.
nashville day 9 - the last weekend in tennessee kicked off with brunch at loveless cafe, a nashville institution. loveless cafe is a former roadside motel that turned into the place to get the best biscuits in town, amazing. after carbo loading the boy and i headed east to pigeon forge to spend the weekend in the smokey mountains. little did we know we drove the 4+ hours in the pouring rain with a flat tire, ooops! good thing we didn't crash/destroy our rental car because we didn't get insurance. when we finally arrived at our cabin i had to climb through the window b/c we had the wrong entry code for the door, jokes. at least it was worth it all for a toasty cabin in the woods with the world series on the telly.

wearing: coat: h&m, leggings and top: aritzia, bag: pendleton, scarf: zara, sneaker wedges: ash

fido dido

nashville day 8 - fido in hillsboro village is the best coffee/sandwich shop in nashville. on thursday we went back for another breakfast, had to have that mcfido sammie, so good. then headed to franklin to hit cool springs mall. we picked the perfect day to be inside too because it rained the whole time. one of the things i noticed about nashville is the malls are always empty, seriously where is everyone? malls are packed in toronto on a friday at 2pm, weird. oh, and on a outfit note i was wearing my "kurt cobain" sweater, it makes me so happy.

wearing: mango sweater, club monaco twill pants, ash sneaker wedges, pendleton bag.

belle meade

nashville day 7 - i grew up in awe of scarlett o'hara and adoring gone with the wind so when i heard you could visit belle meade, a plantation house that was the heart of one of america's premier thoroughbred farms, i knew i had to check it out. i wore my brand new ash wedge sneakers, which i am in love with, highly recommended. after the tour, kevin and i had the best meal at sunset grill - cheddar cheese grits and an iceberg wedge salad, followed by a dessert trio of southern coconut cake, creme brule, and jack daniels pecan pie. seriously decadent. finished off the day with a walk at radnor lake and an always essential trader joe's run.

wearing: urban outfitters top, aritzia denim shirt, ash wedges, les folles de joie shorts, rayban oversized waygerers, pendleton bag.
