California Adventures: Danielle Rose

Hello, loves!

I was pretty excited to receive a text from Alee today telling me to check my email, only to then receive another set of photos from my trip to California. Truth be told, I completely forgot about this set. Oops! We shot like crazy that week and somehow this look slipped my mind, but falling back in love with this memory definitely made my day. Thanks again for the photos, Alee!

This was an outfit Alee and I pieced together in about 5 minutes.

Top: borrowed / similar @ Forever 21, Gypsy Warrior

Bralette: Urban Outfitters

Shorts: vintage Wrangler cutoffs

Booties: Tobi

Alee, Mike and I pulled over on the side of the highway to shoot at this abandoned chapel and tiny pink house. It was extremely windy that day (hence the hair-craziness and the squinting) which added so much drama to this gorgeous maxi shirt dress we borrowed from Alee's work. I paired the floral maxi with my favorite lace bralette and vintage Wranglers and duh – black booties.

Side note: The marks on my legs were the result of my previous eczema outbreak :( bleh. I'm happy to report that they have since then healed up nicely!

Until next time...

XOXO

California Adventures: Candy Girl

Annnnnnd I'm back!

Hope you all have been well! I've been quite the busy-bee as the summer deals keep flowing in at work. I'm happy to report that Denver is finally getting some warm weather... having 3 straight weeks of nonstop pouring rain really put a damper on my mood – I was dying to be back in my rompers and dresses again. Wearing heavy knits and jackets throughout the entirety of May just felt so wrong! Anyways, now that the sun is here (and hopefully here to stay), I promise I'll be out and about bringing you more summer outfit posts, both here and on my Instagram and Tumblr as well.

I decided to do a series of posts from my California trip back in April, this being number one! Be sure to check back for more details of my adventures, as I'm super excited to share them all with you! :)

This set was taken in Joshua Tree, where we did a majority of our shooting. Alee's mom's house was just down the road, and her neighbor was nice enough to let us shoot in his backyard which was full of character – there were three wooden horses that I couldn't pass up shooting with. It just so happened that this little baby matched my outfit perfectly, and the horses gave the mood that playful touch we were going for.

Romper: Urban Outfitters
Sneakers: Converse via Nasty Gal
Sunglasses: (borrowed) similar styles – Forever 21 and Wildfox

You may recognize this romper if you're a fan of Lil Debbie. She has this fun little number in the reverse color-option as mine, being all blue with a pink chevron stripe. I actually scooped this up at a Buffalo Exchange back in Arizona for only $10... what a steal!
