Kaleidoscope

I'm all moved in to my apartment in Phoenix, Arizona, and almost entirely unpacked, though shoe storage continues to be a problem. I forgot how hot it is here in the summer, especially during monsoon season, but I'm loving it so far anyways. How was your weekend? I'd love to hear what you did!

Céline sunglasses, Theyskens' Theory t-shirt dress, Prada shoes, Marc Jacobs bag (similar). 

Enchanted Gardens

 One thing I'm going to miss most about Denver is all the beautiful gardens everywhere. Flowers don't grow quite as well in the desert, though at least there will be plenty of cactus. And now it's time to get back to more packing.

Sun Hands

It's been pretty hot here all week, and no music fits the heat better than the Local Natives' song called "Sun Hands." Check it out, it's perfect. As is the rest of their album. Stay cool, my darling readers.

Totem Pole

Scenes from Portland during the 4th of July trip, that seems ages ago after a weekend in Miami. It's always a great trip when I get to see Katie.

Best Car

This was the best car in the parking lot at the Timberline Lodge. Clearly, it warranted a photo shoot of its own.

Timberline Lodge

Built during the Great Depression as a Works Progress Administration project, the Timberline Lodge is a stunning piece of architecture, made from locally sourced wood and stone. The ski lifts directly adjacent to the building don't hurt, either. Sadly, I was unable to ski, though the lifts operate on weekends all summer, but I hope to be back again to ski Mt. Hood soon!

Red, White, & Blue

 To all of my American readers, Happy Independence Day! I accidentally put on this very subtle red, white, and blue combo the other day, and decided to go with it. In part because everything else I own in that color combo is currently packed and ready for adventures in Idaho, of all places. And Oregon. And potentially elsewhere, though those specifics are yet to be determined. And with that, I'm off. Have a fabulous holiday weekend!

Currently obsessed with: this song. And summer.

Little Talks

These are more photos from last weekend, wandering Denver with Annie. The skater skirt is my new favorite style, though this one is quite a few years old. Any recommendations on other ones you love? I am on the hunt for more! 

Thanks for the photos, Annie!
