Pink & Wine

Hello darlings!
It's quite often that as the weather is warming up, all I really want to do is go outside and play.  This was just a simple little evening spent at home and after dinner was had, my little family and I went outside just to catch a bit of fresh air.  These photos were literally taken at the bottom of my driveway.  Nothing too exciting but very relaxing indeed.  Living in a small mountainside town is kind of like this.  As I wouldn't be so inclined to play around in foo foo dresses and heels, this is more me on a typical day when I'm not out and about.

This whole month I am on a shopping ban...so I have been remixing the life out of my closet.  A another big weekend is ahead - a rehearsal dinner, a wedding, and another trip back to my hometown.  I am busy as bee.  Hoping you have time to catch a bit of fresh air too:)  Any fun plans for you ahead?

Love bunches,

  1. my goodness... a vintage cape from your grandmother. how wonderful!

    i totally understand about re-mixing your current wardrobe. i've been having way too many "i have nothing to wear!" moments lately. sometimes, it just takes an extra moment of digging/ creativity to pull something together :)

    have a wonderful day, marisa!! x

  2. Gorgeous as always, your outfits brighten my day! I agree with a little one and outdoor play fancy frocks are often not practical, this is a great way to look fab and practical. Wishing you a lovely weekend!:D xx

    i've had to remix the stuff out of my closet too! wasn't able to take much out to BC with me for when I moved! it's hard, but makes things more challenging and fun! although the shoe department is lacking.

    talk soon wild child

    1. Most definitely Chaucee! It would be so easy to do since we live relatively close as well. Next time I'm in the city we should try to meet up to do South Street and bring a few things to swap:)

  17. I love how you make a simple everyday outfit so unique though with all the little details and the splashes of colour!! I'm also trying to implement a shopping ban...being a poor student should make it an easy feat but then they shouldn't really allow students to have credit cards :) Have a lovely weekend!

  24. how can i ever possibly convey to you just how adorable you are?! i might try with quippy comments to letcha know the completely unique variations on otherwise discarded vintage pieces or the dash of whimsy you bring to each and every item you assemble. then as a whole look together, well....outta this world is what! i think you'd be a dream for any rad theatre or film set who was in need of a clothing stylist...um and it's like you've just stepped out of Lula magazine every time. i die!!!!!

    glad you got some warmer temps in your part of the world, i'm waiting on ours to arrive. still really chill and rainy. boo! last week brought some sun, here's hoping it returns again soon :) loved seeing your little walk down the driveway with Keane!! xo ♥

  25. I wish the end of my driveway looked like this! Though, we do have plenty of beautiful mountain spots here in Colorado, so I guess I shouldn't be whining too much! I love that your "casual" outfit is still so pretty! I LOVE the vintage cape from your grandmother, it looks so cozy and special!

    I just made a flower crown yesterday and can't wait to wear it! Its supposed to be in the high 60s this week and I am SO EXCITED for the warm weather, pretty flowers, and bright colors. Also- good luck with your shopping ban! I am on a (reduced) getting takeout ban myself, as I was doing it about 4 times a week, eeek! Have a great sunday :)
