Well- I have to admit, I wasn't sure how good this location would serve for photos, but I'm pleasantly surprised. This is just a spot near my house, beside a local church- who would have guessed it would turn out to be such a pretty place? I was especially pleased to find pink blossoms on those trees- yea!!
This skirt is a lovely, handmade piece from Poison Apple. I had been wanting a plain, black circle skirt for some time- I think this one is so adorable! Best part? You can customize the length ( always a plus if you are tall ;). Not to mention, it's one of those staple pieces to have in your wardrobe for Spring, Summer Fall and Winter.
So yeah, I did buy another boater hat ( it's different than the one I have, I promise! lol)! I found this at Forever 21 last week and couldn't resist. It's real straw, unlike my Mossimo boater, so it lays a lot nicer. The brim is a bit larger as well which I thought would be pretty for Summer.
So maybe you gals have noticed the increasing amount of videos that I have been making as of late. I've really been enjoying tapping into the YouTube world- particularly anything beauty related. What are your girls thoughts? Do you enjoy seeing tutorials and style diary type videos on the blog, in addition to outfit posts?

Such a lovely outfit especially the blouse!!! I love the time of day you chose for taking the pictures. It looks so summery;) Also your lipstick is really pretty. What brand and color is it?
@samantha Thank you! I am wearing MAC's Velvet Teddy Lipstick with Smashbox Rosette Lip Gloss :)
So, so pretty! I'm loving that blouse with the lace and sweetheart neckline it creates. Is it still available at Forever 21 or have you had it awhile? Thanks too for educating us about the benefits of real straw in a hat! Who knew?!
Fun post, thanks for sharing!
@Diane Yes! I just purchased it last week- great deal too- $8! I couldn't find it online, but I'm sure they still have it in stores :)
