Scallops on Scallops



This week, I'm visiting my mom in Orange County. She and my dad are moving to the East Coast soon - he's already there, having started his new job, and my mom is stuck in California by herself until the house sells. So, I took a week off of work and here I am!

These pictures were taken a few days ago in Arizona. The sun melted all of the snow and ice from the sidewalks, so I thought it was time to break out some shoes that aren't boots. I even left my jacket in the car - it felt so warm for January, and I have to say I'm bummed. I'm a winter girl all the way.

Anyway, my boyfriend took these photos for me AND picked out the location. Pretty good, huh? I was worried that he'd think having a blog was weird, but so far he thinks it's fun. He mostly just likes playing around with my camera...

  2. Cute skirt, and cute smiles! I wish my cameraman was more into the pictures, mine are always back yard or living room. Maybe I need to force him on to new locations :)

  7. That is a cute outfit. I love the color of the sweater. Wow if you did not mention this was Arizona I would never have guessed. Are you in Flagstaff? Where on the east coast are they moving? I am from New York but lived in Seattle for about a decade.

  12. Francessca's Collections is the BEST place to buy skirts. I've never loved a skirt more than one that came from FC. Seriously! Also you're the cutest. I always love reading that a blogger's boyfriend took her pictures because seriously, it's always obvious. The girls are always smiling more and generally looking more joyous. Hehe :)

  13. Sounds like are our boyfriends are pretty alike! Mine is a really good location scouter, haha :) In the beginning I was worried to tell him about my blog too, thinking He'd make fun of it, but now he takes basically all my photo's :) With a smile!

    I love this outfit! The skirt is super cute :) I have a very similar white one, also from Francesca's :D x
