Day Trippin'

My Mam and Dad are in town from Newcastle, England to help me with my sweet baby. They're really supposed to be helping me relax and allow me to take showers while they rock Mr.Theodore to sleep, but hey, they travelled 3,000 miles, I should at least show them a good time a few days out of the week, right?

We went an hour out of the city and had lunch in the small town of Dahlonega, GA. The weather was beautiful, the people were lovely and we had a great time.

Where we had lunch. I'd highly recommend it.

We ate a delicious lunch at the Crimson Moon Cafe, shared a caramel apple for dessert, wandered around the shops and headed home before the traffic got too crazy. 

All drinks should be served in Mason jars.

I have to admit, I was exhausted afterward, and spent the next day in pajamas. This whole having a baby thing is not exactly easy y'all.

But, holy crap, I love my little boy!

Viva Barcelona!

Barcelona was one of the most inspiring places I have ever been. There is an electricity in the air that is almost tactile. Art is EVERYWHERE, on buildings, in parks, on people. 

I was completely in awe of the women in Spain. They were perfectly put together and looked like it was just a happy accident. There was no one who looked like they'd spent more than 10 minutes on their makeup; a red lip, or a kohl rimmed eye was enough.

I wanted every item of clothing that I saw in every shop window. There were hand painted silk harem pants, kimono sleeve blouses paired with cargo pants, chandelier earrings made out of wood. Everything was unexpected. 

I LOVED IT!

By the end of the trip I was definitely embracing the style that I'd seen throughout Europe. My hair was less styled, my make up was simple and I felt so relaxed. 

Well, that was my vacation, I guess it will be back to normal outfits from here on out. I hope y'all enjoyed my vacation snaps.

Bikini bottom skirt- Target



My mum bought me this dress and I think it's from ASDA in England. It's so comfy and I love the movement of the fabric.

My flip flops are from Target. They're the only flip flops I like to wear because the straps are fabric, so they don't rub my toes raw.

The best accessory is a real flower! I found this one on the boardwalk.

I painted my toenails a pretty pinky coral.

To beat the heat I wore my favorite vintage scarf as a headband and added yet another flower (This time not real) for interest. I felt kinda rockabilly.

I hope you enjoyed my holiday photos!

I already miss the seaside.

Off to see the sea!

Myrtle Beach Weekend by dollfacedlynne 




Me and my husband are driving to Myrtle Beach next weekend. I can't wait! The weather in Atlanta has been scorching. The air is so close that it's hard to breath. I can't wait to get some sea air in these lungs of mine and get my toes in some sand. 

I thought I'd be pro active and made a check list so I'd know what to pack, instead of deciding last minute and taking everything in my closet. 

 

I've just realized that there is no underwear on this list... well, it is vacation ;) Haha!
