Sorry for the silence on this end. I have been disconnected from absolutely all internet usage for the past 5 days and it has been glorious! No instagram posting, tumblring, blogging, facebook checking, emailing, calling or texting. I have to say I really didn't miss it. Sometimes a break is good. We sailed to the Bahamas (Freeport & Nassau) for spring break from Charleston. Worked on a pre-summer tan and soaked up some good Vitamin D.

 



Be back soon with an outfit post. Hope you all have been well!

friday remix

This is one of my all time favorite shirts. I have gotten so much wear out of it. It's perfect
by itself or layered under or over something. You can barely see it peeking out in the
picture below to the left.

I actually wore this shirt today but didn't snag pictures before the storm moved in.

Happy Friday!

life lately

1. Logging lots of hours in the studio.
2. A hop, skip & a jump to Greensboro to visit a friend from OH who I met while abroad.
3. Strange bipolar weather- we had snow & 68 degree weather within the past two weeks!
4. Handmade watercolor postcards & a sock bun.
5. Hanging out with my rooms (this is our third year living together!)- senior night event at the art gallery & Saturday morning pancakes. Delicious! Do you like the plate? I painted it at the Mud Hut. Do you have those? I know there are a bunch of places like it with different names.

Hope all's well with you. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

xo, A.

short story

Weird hands day? Also, I'm sorry the light is a little different from picture to picture.
It's bugging me a little bit. The sun was going down right when I was taking these,
and you only get that brief window of time. But when you do- it's one of my favorites,
that and early morning light just when things are starting to come alive again.

Spring, you're crazy.

color crush: peach

Thinking about starting a new recurring piece, color crush- I guess this one is pretty self-explanatory. Recently I've been loving soft, romantic colors which transition easily from winter to spring.

What I wouldn't do for a ripe, sweet peach right now! In the summer we have a tradition of making homemade ice cream (and it's usually peach! the best kind in my humble opinion)- we used to have the old fashioned hand churned bucket but unfortunately that broke a number of years back, so now we have the electric one. I don't miss the sore arm muscles, but then again there is something special about doing it all yourself. Don't you think?

Sorry for the silence on my end. I promise to be back soon with an outfit post. Hope you all have been keeping well! Did anyone else get snow yesterday?
