inspired by: roadside blooms

yesterday was one of those days that was so rainy and grey that i was taken by complete surprise when out on a jog i encountered tons of vibrant colors among the roadside wildflowers. i don't know if i just never noticed them when i was out before in the hazy heat that has become the norm this july, or if the most recent rainstorm inspired the blooms, but either way they were absolutely beautiful to me.

the lush greens, elegant queen anne's lace, rich purple-y pinks, pops of orange, and pale blues of the wildflowers inspired the dream date look i created for my trip to new york this weekend. i'm absolutely in love with the sequin embellishments on the dress, and both of the bracelets are gorgeous in detail. here's to everyone having a pretty and inspired weekend!

all in the golden afternoon

one of my most favorite places in the world is the von trapp greenhouse in waitsfield, vt. the boyfriend and i make a point to try and get there at least once every summer to play around in the flowers, and admire the fields and mountains in the background.

 i love the wild feeling that these gardens have. you feel as if you're in this wonderful secret garden somewhere.

next time we go, i hope to be frolicking around in an outfit similar to this:

what would you wear when playing among the flowers?
