Your dog poses so perfectly for the camera. Pugs are so adorable. I love your trousers.
Thank you Maria you're so sweet.

If I ever had a dog, I would want one as adorable as that pug!!!
BTW, you rock the rolled up khakis and give a spin to menswear inspired classics. LOVE IT. :)
everything about this look is perfect. and just when you think it couldn't get any better, that pup.. oh my.

fell in love with those pants...

Wellie is among the cutest of the cute in Pug world! Weekend trips, day or entire, are the best. Glad to hear little Wellie got a little alone time with the parents!
these are so cute Maria! i'm dying over your thrifted pants right now too, just love the way you rolled them up. the boots really bring a modern element to this vintage look. LOVE.
funny story. we went to a birthday party for a dog last night. it was a whole neighborhood wide thing, tons of dogs, kids, and adults... free booze b/c the dog owner also owns a liquor store, free food, and even one of those blow up things for kids to jump in. it was crazy!! anyway, there were so many pugs there and they were just the horniest things. ALL of them were trying to hump other dogs, sometimes even two at once!! yikes! i think pugs are sooo precious, just never realized they were so horny. lol Wellie is adorable though.
I like you so much in trousers, Maria!
The whole outfit is really amazing.
And Wellington is just so super cool!
And you are so right with the wallpaper in the restaurant I went! Sooo lovely. Such bight colours!
Have a good day!
love, Elli<3
I have never been to Birmingham but it seems to be pretty there. Have you ever been to Plymouth? They have a really cute downtown and I had amazing waffles there, once(that sounds random, haha.)

Fabulous as always! Have a sweet day!
Those must be called "Zooey" because of Miss Deschanel. I think I saw her in one of those ads. In any case, they're smashing on you. And the boyfriend look is DEF working.
