here and there

8 1 6 7 3 Untitled Woa, I just got back from a wild whirlwind of a trip to New York. It was amazing seeing that city for the first time, catching up with people I love and making new buddies - (shout out to my Brooklyn ladies - you know I'll be back). 
I got home just in time to tag along for a last minute trip up north. Naps on the beach, thrift store adventures and In-N-Out, this summer ain't turning out half bad. 

I've been all about my granny orthopedic sandals and this sweet Dahlia dress. I may or may not have worn the same thing 3 days in a row. You know how it is.

sunglasses: ASOS
bag: vintage, thrifted
