Cole and I took a little drive to Cranbrook, which is a gorgeous boarding/day school in Bloomfield Hills. It seriously has such a beautiful campus, but sadly we didn't have enough daylight left to really take a bunch of photos. We plan on coming back very soon.

I'm in the process of changing some things on my blog. Some of you have already noticed the new header, which was drawn for me by Louise of Super Duper Things. Do you recognize the ever lovely Millicent?

Yours,

Tonia  – (August 9, 2010 8:25 AM)  

Millicent looks right at home up there! And your shoes? If I didn't have a similar pair, I'd be shopping for some so fast right now!

sweetersalt  – (August 9, 2010 8:25 AM)  

Love those oxfords - fantasteeek.

Alyse  – (August 9, 2010 8:46 AM)  

You've inspired me to take another spin on ebay in search of the perfect vintage bag. Vintage Coach and Dooney bags are much more alluring than the ostentatious loud prints those companies offer nowadays. Not to mention the downgrading of the quality with the inflation of prices. It's a shame.

Sarah  – (August 9, 2010 10:15 AM)  

This whole outfit is just divine. The shorts with the tights and those shoes. Ah love.

Sara Lynn  – (August 9, 2010 10:55 AM)  

You look awesome Maria! lol I used to hangout there in High School, we'd sneak in at night and drink and wander around. :P

Love the header!

HereWeGoAJen  – (August 9, 2010 12:00 PM)  

I used to read boarding school books when I lived in England and always daydreamed about going to one.

rlutz  – (August 9, 2010 1:18 PM)

Oh my God, you look so adorable Miss Lulu :)
At the moment I read this Hemingway book about his time in Africa and your outfit totally reminds me of how his wife's safari outfits are described there. You look like a younger version of Miss Mary (that's her name), lovely! :)

Molly  – (August 9, 2010 4:43 PM)  

this outfit is absolutely perfect. I'm obsessed with every inch of it....the shorts...the brogues...the hat. Chic to the max.

Love your new banner/header. Nice pix and outfit.

Midwest Mayhem  – (August 9, 2010 9:07 PM)  

Goodness, I haven't been to Cranbrook since I was in girl scouts! I love that place. (The museum part of it). My parents considered sending me to the school for high school, but it was too expensive. Anyway, you look adorable as always! I love the detailing on your blouse.

Justice Pirate  – (August 10, 2010 8:05 AM)  

I truly adore that shirt so much!! I really love the feel of tranquility that this shoot leaves me. I need to see things like this though since I'm going through a rough time right now. So thank you. It is comforting to just imagine what it is like there.

Amy from Forever Curiouser  – (August 10, 2010 8:55 AM)  

beautiful shots, especially love the tights and shoes! x

...One Girl  – (August 10, 2010 1:42 PM)  

The hat is precious. And what a spectacular location. I don't think you could've paired it up any better!

Laura  – (August 11, 2010 1:35 PM)  

i just started reading your blog about a month ago, and normally i am just a blog lurker/non-commenter, but i couldn't resist commenting on this! i live about ten minutes from cranbrook and practically live there during the summers...i have taken art classes there and as a photographer i take many a portrait client there. i just love the feel of the place and its very interesting history. i was so excited to see this pop up on my bloglovin feed! hope you are able to return for more outfit shots :)

Debraland  – (August 21, 2010 8:06 AM)
