Only a few days left back home in Namibia. It's funny how the days seem to go by quicker and quicker towards the end of a trip. These photos were taken by a waterhole near our campsite in Botswana. I've been wearing my trusty woven flats day in day out, I have a feeling this may be their last adventure.

  4. Ah, so Ethan went with you! I was wondering how your photo quality always manages to be so consistent and was beginning to think that everyone you know is a professional!

    Anyway, apart from everything else, that bird photo is amazing... who took that?

    Aaaand I know what you mean... the last few days back in Canada just flew by. It's a bit like summer holidays when you're a kid, isn't it?

  11. It's crazy how much you look like your mom in the first photo! Love your skirt. I'm kind of excited for you to come home so we can go thrifting, coffee-ing, and walking, but I'm sure you never want to leave Namibia!

  21. Isn't that the best thing about thrifted things though? no remorse wearing them bare, although a bit sad sometimes. It looks so beautiful there, can't even imagine what it would be like camping- so different. I guess this is a dumb question, but what do you when you're camping there? It doesn't seem like you can hike but sure seems beautiful.

    Also, love your casual but romantic outfit : )
