on the ranch

photos by Mary Gibson

I'm back from a nice few days in Oklahoma! It was a nice little break from reality, but unfortunately, school starts up again tomorrow. Spring break was nice while it lasted!
The place we stayed at was really neat- we had our own little cabin/ranch house which backed up to a huge field of cows and watering holes (where the cows drank from and we fished from) and there was a nice little hot tub out back on the deck for the evenings. The sunsets were beautiful, and there were two sweet kittens who sat on the back porch waiting patiently for us to come out and visit with them all day! It was so quiet and peaceful up there, I'll miss it!

How was everyone else's Spring Break? Anything exciting? :')

lack of creativity

I'm sorry I keep posting awful tri-pod photos that aren't really edited. My photog sister is insanely busy, so I've been left to my own (not up to par) devices....yikes

As much as I love winter, I feel like it really drains my creative side. I haven't been shopping in ages, I haven't been writing as much, taking nearly as many photos, or putting hardly any effort into outfits (at least for school).
I just feel like things have been super dull lately. So today that changes. I made a list of things for myself to do to help inspire my creativity (I'll be posting it on instagram later, so follow me if you want to try it out, too!)
It's probably due to the fact that I have 0 time for anything during the school year, and endless amounts of time to do everything during the summer...but it's still frustrating. So hopefully that changes after this weekend! :')

daisy denim

Hey, everyone! I'm sorry I've been so MIA lately- I've been stuffing my nose into so many good books lately that I nearly forgot I had a blog with awesome followers to keep up with! Forgive me!
A short little update on what's been going on in the past week or two with me: I got asked to prom (yay!), our 3rd issue of my school's newspaper came out, I've started blogging for a new website (I'll give you more info once my posts are up!), I opened up a little online shop, and I've successfully replaced 2+ hours a day that I used to spend on the internet with spending time with The Lord, instead!
I hope all of you guys are doing well! Are any of you guys going crazy searching for a prom dress like me?!

Only in Texas do you have 40 degree weather one day, and almost-80 degree weather the next.
Aside from getting sick from all the temperature change, I'm loving the nice weather! I've been pulling out all my skirts and spending as much time outside as I can. For this outfit, I layered my super comfy gray sweater with a very ornate, detailed skirt. I liked how the simplicity hit the detail on the skirt, giving you just a peek of it. It was really comfy, but still cute (the only way to go!).

nowistyle JAPAN

Did an amazing collab with a fab brand in Japan, "nowistyle". The company is so friendly and their clothes are to die for!! They chose a couple of items for me and when I found them in the mail, I fell in love! I did 3 different looks for them, and this is the first.
I got to mix some of my clothes with theirs, which was super fun. I especially love their sweater- the bow in the back is beyooooond.
Brilliant idea to liven up a sweater.
The leopard tote is also great because it's HUGE so I'll definitely be using it for travel!

I'll be posting more looks soon, so check back!
