I Heart the Internet-Links I Love

Hi friends! If you’re anywhere in the northeast US I hope you’re indoors and toasty or maybe sledding down a snow covered hill! As I mentioned before I was on the west coast visiting my dear brother and while I was there I went to a lovely shop in Oakland called knimble and I am smitten.

/ / 2 Comments
Up until the last day of 2014 it’s actually been a pretty mild winter…which I’m completely thankful for because I hate wearing socks! I wore this outfit on a strangely balmy 55 degree day this winter. I tend to wear my warm weather clothing all year round and just throw a really chunky sweater over it. This is one of my fave summer dresses that is sadly nearly worn too thin with a new winter fave. I dig that this chunky… View Post
