On the Road

 Outfit Details: Cardi: Topshop (old, remixed) // Top (romper): UO (old, remixed) // Skirt & Shoes: Thrifted // Scarf: Vintage - gift from friend




Hello darlings!

Well I'm back from another long weekend away.  This one found me in my hometown to do some odds and ends which included trying on a dress for my sister's wedding in November, taking photos for a friend's album cover, and of course to celebrate Father's day with all the amazing men in my life - my hubby, father, and grandfather.  What a fantastic hodge-podge of a weekend indeed!  

Before it all began though, the hubs and I headed down to Maryland to catch Keane in concert - I think it was my 7th or 8th time seeing them, but they never do disappoint.  The concert ended on a very sweet note - see the photo below:)  I can always appreciate a band that takes time to chat with their fans.  All three times I've met them, they've been nothing but warm, gracious, and just completely down to earth.  One of the members even let us record a little video of him sending a greeting to our son who's name is also Keane - such a sweet little keepsake that will be fun to show our son someday.

So as you can imagine, I am pleasantly tuckered out from this lovely little weekend.   Now I'm looking forward to the first week in a long time where my husband, Keane, and I can just relax and enjoy our time together with minimal hustle and bustle :)  Though I love being a busy gal, I think I might just be a homebody at heart.

Love Bunches,

  4. this outfit is so perfect! especially the head scarf and cardigan - it's a beautiful spring/summer outfit (spring for me as it's in the mid 90's all the time and cardigan's would be agony!) ;)

  24. Love your pretty pastels! Sounds like a fun weekend! I'll be honest- I have no idea who Keane is and I always meant to look it up since that is your son's name. I finally googled it :) I haven't listened to anything yet, but I'm a huge brit-pop fan so the description sounds like a band I'll love...

  26. OMG, Marisa!!! I love your photo with Tom!!! :D What a lucky girl! How come you've met them so many times? Do you usually get VIP passes or wait till they leave the venue? I only saw them once in Buenos Aires and I'd love to go see them here in Cali. Unfortunately, we can't afford the tickets, so I'll have to wait for a next time. And how cool that you have a video of one of them saying hi to Keane!!!! :D Aweee!

  29. Awwww Marisa you are just GLOWING in these photos! You look absolutely stunning in your minty hues and I just can't get over how beautiful the scenery is!

    It really is so nice to meet somewhat famous people only to realize that they're just like us deep down. I bet Keane will be so happy and excited to see the little greeting. How sweet and thoughtful!
    Hoping you are having a wonderful beginning to summer love!

    1. Thanks so much Arielle! I get a large majority of my vintage dresses from local antique malls in my area and really I think that this part of PA must have a larger number of curvier women because they aren't that hard to find - I'm a curvy gal myself, so I'm always keeping a hawk's eye out for large vintage dresses anyways..hehe.
