Backyard Blues

(Levi’s denim jacket, One Teaspoon Dear Fieldbinder crochet dress, Converse sneakers, Vanessa Mooney necklace and rings)

Ever since shooting with Levi’s for their “Go Forth” campaign, I’ve been getting back to my All-American denim roots. Really, they are one brand that’s always stood true to it’s aesthetic for as long as I can remember. This boxy little jacket was one pick from the shoot that I got to take home with me, and let’s just say I never travel without it. It’s one of those pieces I’ve always had in my closet growing up, as a little tomboy rebel! With some rolled up sleeves and my sister’s old beat up chucks, it instantly brought my One Teaspoon dress down to earth.

Firefly

I love early morning light, when it’s firey red and lights up the entire living room. Dylana’s house really does have the best light to wake up to. She set a chair by the back doors, told me sit, and snapped these photos in about 2 minutes. Dy, you really are one of the best photographers I know. I felt like a firefly, in red tie-dye, set against the sun. I’m going to miss these lazy summer mornings, especially now that work is continually getting crazier and crazier. And it’s only the 1st! 

Weekend Girls

Us girls know how to use our weekend days wisely: concerts at the Piaza, endless thrifting extravaganzas, and many late hours spent entranced by old episodes of Gilmore Girls. Philadelphia, why are you always the best place for a quick getaway? Not even the rain got in the way of us having fun! Coming home with completely soaked boots is just part of the charm. Anyways, I always end up bringing a little something something back to NYC. This time, a tiny little blue frock I picked up at the moving Snowbird Vintage motorhome, sleepy eyes, and of course…some killer memories.

Wrapped Around my Waist

I’m currently sitting in my sister’s dining room in Philly…everyone is still asleep and I think it’s going to rain. Fishtown is always strangely quiet and calm on the weekends, but I like having this slow, rare pace. Traveling here is just a whole other story, especially when you’ve taken the Greyhound! But they always say “the road is better than the in” now don’t they? Anyways, I’m clearly going through a backpack phase. This happens every summer. For biking, for concerts, and everything else in between, you’ll find me lugging this thing on my right shoulder. I swear it’s that grunge vibe to Philly that gets me wearing 90’s flannel shirts as a skirt, and men’s denim vests. Classic All-American weekends, I adore you.
