Growing Pains

Sometimes, in the process of growing your hair, it's easy for the changes to go unnoticed.  What better way to look at how long it's gotten than to compare!!

The river won't overflow

Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, 

That's why we rely on hope"

My first week in Chicago is coming to an end, and I have been having a great time learning how to dress for late autumn/early winter weather again.  I haven't been very good at taking pictures, although I have been wearing clothes every day (I promise) here are two snippets, and I'll work to step up my game.

Keep Your Head Up

It's been pretty mild for a Delaware summer, and I've been enjoying throwing some hoodies and sweatshirts into my mix the last week or so.  I am headed to Florida this weekend and I will not have any of that mild temperature once I get there.  I'm living it up for now :D

Back On the Gri(N)d

Sorry to be off the grid for a while, I had oral surgery about two weeks ago with about a week of brutal recovery and then spent the next week out of town in Chicago and New Orleans.
I am finally back home and ready to get back to posting!

It's been a long time, shouldn't have left you

It has been far too long since either of us has posted, so here are some family pics to fill in the gap...and we'll do better!

Here's the WHOLE gang before our cousin's beautiful wedding last weekend.  Hannah is wearing a ladies' suit, which she turned into shorts (because she's a baller) and I'm wearing leopard print heels that used to belong to my father.

We're cool like that. 

Here are Hannah and I this week in our Uncle's library. My skirt used to be a dress (Cotton On) and my top is from a head shop in Cape Town.  Hannah's dress is a Salvation Army find and her belt was a hand me down from our mother.

And here we are with our brother in Newport, RI.  Hannah's dress is a hand me down, mine is from an antique store in Gettysburg, and Ryan is wearing a shirt and shorts from H&M!

Fruits and Such

First officially summer inspired nails of the season.

Om Nashi Me

Good Morning, 

It is bright and early and here goes nothing.  I am sitting having a cup of coffee, (here is the view from the window where I am) 

close up through the trees (left), full view (right)

and attempting to make up for nearly a month's lost time.  When my parents bought this house part of the appeal was the feeling of being in a giant tree house when you looked out the windows, and it really is quite magical, but probably better when experienced live more than anything else, however, still it does inspire me none the less.  Now that summer has begun we're going to have to work a little harder to keep this up, but staring out the window as trivial as it sounds I do want to keep up the accomplishment.  With summer comes two issues towards the blog, 1) We see each other most days and loose incentive to stay on task, and 2) As soon as school is out summer Hannah emerges and summer Hannah wears sweats, pjs, and athletic shorts most days into nights into next days.  Last year we opted to just completely take the summer off, however this year we are going to try to keep things going instead (that said I'm going on a trip for most of July so Soph will probably be the soul proprietor during that time).  Still here are a couple of outfits from a recent trip to Gettysburg, which you can enjoy while listening to (and having your world shined on by) this uplifting track:

More Soon,

Here We Go Again...

We are sadly in a very similar situation, school is coming to a very quick and I am having less and less time to do anything but school.  But anyway, here are some highlights from my last week of classes!

Although I had a long week and was raheely feeling the idea of sweats all week, I tried to be at least a little exciting (except for this day when I went vereh casual)/  Leggings from target, sweater from target,  letters from mah big sister (actual sister not sorority sister)

Vans from vans, shorts from ?, shirt from goodwill, sweater from pacsun

Closer to the Edge

Graduation is getting scary close! Sorry I fell behind this weekend, I was out of town visiting Chattanoog, TN with friends and don't have tons of great outfit photos from my trip.  But here is a bit of catch up!
