It was a bit of a crazy weekend. I cleaned and moved furniture like a madwoman. Cole's 30th birthday is this Thursday and I'm having a family party on Saturday! So lots of prepping being done.
Getting caught up on my blog reading today.
XOXO





How adorable are you?! Love the striped tank, it creates a wonderful contrast against the blacks and browns. (:
Wow!You look so amazing here. I love stripes on you and the way you do your eye makeup :) You are just amazing!

Another great outfit of course. Your outfit really complements the background :) I need a striped top with maroon stripes, must go to Forever sometime :)
SOO great. You look really really gorgeous in these. I am a huge hat person, and that little feather really does it for me. Plus the tiny bag? Golden.
Beautiful - you are gorgeous.

Loving your vintage bag!

I don't know if it's the case in the USA but in Britain loads of people live in converted barns - I have a friend that does! It's a bit cleaner than this one though :)
You look lovely, as always.
Oh.My.God. Great hat! There should be more hat wearing in the world.
Oh that barn! Sometimes old is just so much better than new.

You look alway dressed up perfectly with your settings! I love your style :)
Your outfit and the setting are great! Love the striped top, and the gold necklace against it is perfect :)
My aunt and uncle actually bought a broken down, rustic barn and over 10 years turned it into a lovely vacation house. I definitely want to do the same

yeah.. it rained and snowed here in Arkansas! all i wanted to do was play outside for spring break, but the weather has a different idea.
i want your purse SOO. SOO. BAD. wow, terribly cute. And i guess if i took your purse I'd have to steal the matching boots too. I already have the target bowler, so if i snatched the other accessories, I'd look just like ya!
teasing. :)
Oh, yeah, I'm back! Whoo!
You look so cute in that hat. People should always wear hats.
This outfit and these photos are so gorgeous!
great shots! love the outfit, hat and cool red barn! you look amazing as always :D
I really love your use of brown, black, and red. It's a great sophisticated casual. I just found your blog and am now following! I think you're lovely <3

Seriously, you keep outdoing yourself Maria! This is so pretty!
You look so cute! I love the unexpectedness of the velvet in the shorts! ooh and i so want a little bag like that!! they're hard to find.
I love the way that you've styled your outfit! Especially the black and brown (a favorite combo) with the striped top. Very cute! Love the location, too!
This outfit is amazing. It especially looks perfect at that location. Gorgeous photos!
And I love that song, funeral. I just did a cover of it last night so it was in my head all day.
I love your style! :) Soooo pretty!
I love your boots so much! There is a pair very similar to those at my local vintage shop. I eye them everytime I go into the store and then I pick them up all excited and realize they are a size 7. I'm a size 9.
So yes I have some serious boot envy!
those velvet shorts are so adorable! :) xxx
Those boots are worn to perfection and they look smashing with black near that gorgeous old barn.

You look super fit lady. Love the stripes!
I love the way you combined the red, black, and brown. I've also wanted to live in a barn after reading so many historical fiction novels when I was younger!
You look really nice here :)
I can even imagine myself in your clothes!
beautiful outfit! I love the rustic look! You can pull off anything!
Oh these photos are just amazing - and you look stunning!
These shots are fantastic. And I'm always so jealous of your many vintage purses. Do you find most of them on ebay?

The outfit is so great! I esp. love the shoes :) Please tell Cole, his pictures are always so perfect!
I am really lovin your velvet shorts! :)
i think this is my favorite outfit yet!!! i like that i can tell how your outfits always incorporate a bunch of inspirations from different styles/decades but they all come together so cohesively.
