The Mural


Details: Dress/H&M , Shoes/Jeffrey Campbell

This mural is located in a nearby town and I really love the colors and different patterns it has on it. I took these photos a while back for a magazine that will be coming out next month, and I completely forgot to share them on the blog. I really love simple summer outfits like this. Just a pair of colorful heels, and a simple dress. You don't need anything more then that. 

There are some new things going on around these parts. I found out recently that unfortunately my job at the hospital isn't being renewed so while I am in school, I will not be working there anymore. I am definitely going to miss working with the kids, but at this point in time, the position isn't being funded so there's not much I can do. Next Monday is my orientation, so I will get to meet some of my professors, and counselors for this upcoming term. I can't believe in two weeks I will be a college student again. It's a little surreal. 

The summer is almost over, and as sad as I am, I'm also really excited for a new season. I really need the change. There's something really enlightening about the fall, I don't know what it is, but I really love it. It always feels like the biggest "transition" period. It couldn't come at a better time either. It's been a weird few months, filled with a lot of uncertainty, sadness and confusion, but I am hoping with the fall around the corner, I will be reborn again.

Hope you're all having a beautiful day! xo

  4. You summed up the fall perfectly. I agree 100%. Fall is my favorite season. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a full on affair with Summer this year.
    You look lovely in this simple shirt dress and those pretty JC's that I regret not buying when they first came online. What town is this by the way? I don't recognize it.
