Home Sweet Home


  1. 40's dress - Ruby Rose
  2. Vintage Ferragamos - thrifted
  3. Cardigan - Banana Republic via thrift
Finally, I am home in San Luis Obispo. Til further notice. I am just so glad to be back in a place where I feel like myself. Anyways, these past few days have been mostly me trying (key word, trying) to unpack and get settled. In all honesty I've felt pretty awful since I've been back, mostly because I am really struggling with having to willingly move away from my boyfriend. But, this morning I woke up feeling a little less depressed so I decided to carpe diem. I guess it doesn't do much good to aimlessly wander around the house in a slip with a box of tissues and check your phone every 32 seconds anyway. . .
The dress is from one of my favorite local stores, Ruby Rose. It's obviously for a little girl but I love the print too much to not try and squeeze myself into it. The cardigan was a wonderful find from a thriftventure with my girl Sonja. She found the same exact one in black! And the shoes deserve to be worn more but I'm sort of too lazy to break them in. Oh, and that's my partner in crime, Maybelline (the cat). Oh! And I absolutely adore the big batch of succulents right next to our front door. The house is from the 1930's so I'd like to believe all the plants are that old too. I mean, they're probably not but. . .it's fun to pretend.

That dress is so pretty!
I'd love to live in a house with a pretty front garden, with lots of lovely flowers.

I hope moving went well! And your new little home looks lovely- ever so fitting for that dreamy dress. I have such a thing for children's clothing. Every piece is just so damn cute.

Oh my goodness! I was thinking that looked like San Luis when I was scrolling down. Cute dress and cute house, too! I hope there's an inside peek in the future!?

The dress is a dream (the 40s are my favourite) and I wouldn't say no to the cat, either! It's always hard moving away; even harder to be the one who doesn't. Hope you feel better.

Your home is so beautiful. It helps sometimes when I'm sad to be around lovely things, and your sweet kitty and beautiful succulents are certainly a step in the right direction. :)

And as always, you look amazing! Your romantic vintage style always inspires me.
