Greenfield Lake & Coming Home

21 June 2011

Okay guys, first of all I realize that my outfit and location in this post have nothing to do with one another. Or, well, it looks sort of True Blood-ish? Maybe? I don't know, but I received this amazing pair of vintage style two-toned tights from Tights Please (a lovely place for tights and stockings!) and thought they would be great with a pinup-esque outfit, which isn't normally my style but I kind of love how everything looks together. Also I really wanted to visit Greenfield Lake as soon as possible because we live close by and I think it's so beautiful! The lake is awesome because it has lots of turtles and alligators and is technically a swamp if you ask me (I think they're just trying to be fancy by calling it a lake). And may I just mention that I haven't been bitten by any mosquitoes since coming home? I'm terribly suspicious of this. I know we're in a drought and everything but surely I should have been eaten up at the swamp lake? I've just jinxed myself.

The entire outfit is thrifted, including the red Seychelles (for $4!!) which yes, might be oneandahalfsizestoobig and I had to make a new little hole on the strap, but I don't care, I couldn't just leave them there.

Hi!

Obviously we're all settled at home in Wilmington, finally. We're renting a house this time around, which is absolutely amazing after living in apartments for years, because it's actually private! And we have our own yard and deck and screened-in porch, which I plan to fill with plants as soon as possible. It's all very exciting. My brain is in design-mode right now, so I think the blog is going to start incorporating more projects and design-related posts as I work on making our house into something lovely. I'm going to be ridiculously busy for the rest of the summer and I love it.

PS: thank you so much for sticking around during my blogging break (if you're still here)! I'm always so paranoid that I'll lose followers when I have to go away for a bit. Although I'm hoping to start posting more regularly this summer, so we'll see how that goes!

  1. Great tights! There's no way you could have left the shoes. Especially if you can make them work.

    aaah! Hanging moss = love. Only not the bugs that live in it. Don't tease the alligators! Aww poor things.

  4. Aww...the tights are so cool! I'm jealous of your amazing thrifting luck too. Those shoes are too cute. I would love to see pictures of your new house and in all the ways that you're going to decorate. I'm hoping to find a new apartment soon, and I'll be on the look out for decorating inspiration.
    XOXO

  9. Cute outfit! That lake sounds fun!

    I once got a pair of black, peep toed, platform, pumps that were one size two big. I loved them, and wore them lots, but they didn't have a sling back, so I couldn't tighten them and they went "flip flop flip flop" whenever I walked, and I was embarrassed, so now I have to get rid of them. So sad :(

  10. Megan: RIGHT?! I mean they're not for walking on long journeys or anything but I couldn't just ignore them!

    Isabel: <3 Thank you!

    Deer Donna: AWW yay, yes I promise I'm back! :D

    AnnaBananaCupcake: I definitely plan to post lots of house pictures! Moving to a new place really is the best because there are so many possibilities and it's incredibly exciting. I've been glued to apartmenttherapy for weeks!

    Helen: YES YAY. :D I remember you said that your posts would veer more towards home-things and I totally know what you mean. I can't wait to see yours!

    Oringina: Thanks!

    Kater: <33333333333333333333!! Ahaha isn't it just SASSY? Like, "YES LOSERS there are alligators here! Get over it and don't feed them!!!"

    Katie: AWW haha I love that! Mine don't flop but I definitely have to take small steps and I probably couldn't wear them anywhere that requires lots of walking, haha. But they're okay for short distances and look nice!
