It's so easy to laugh at yourself

posted by Thursday, August 23, 2012 42 comments

I've got a thing for driving out to Amish country and picking myself up goodies on the weekend. Since Jason and I visited this little pretzel stand, I have been craving one and I was so excited to grab one this weekend. I bought a few extra and put them in the freezer for when I have a bad day.

I was so excited to see these booties pop up on Gilt. I loved them last year, but they appeared in Nordstrom just in time for me to move away from Cincinnati. I really wasn't in any position to be buying shoes then, and I missed out on these. I'm lucky - I got them at a discount when I was more comfortable with buying them!

    I'm glad to see those booties made there way back into your arms. It was destiny! I'm sure they will go with everything you own on top of that.

    I just LOVE Lancaster county. I think I'm want to live there when I'm out of school. Lancaster City is pretty awesome too.


    I adore these shoes, so adorable.

    You inspire me to wear more cute prints! I love this dress and how you paired it with that printed cardigan. You always look so cute and put together <3. Oh and thanks for making me crave a soft pretzel :)

    Yes I do! I also have different lenses - these were taken with my 50mm lens. I always shoot on aperture priority for these at the lowest f stop and ISO possible. I then adjust in camera RAW and play around in Photoshop.

    Oh no - the whole entire town is filled with 'I <3 intercourse' and other things like that. You are definitely the majority girl!

    Oh my goodness I am in love with those shoes! They're gorgeous! Should have known Seychelles, they are always so comfortable. I went to Pennsylvania (I believe somewhere near Lancaster) a few times when I was a little girl, and remember this great farmer's market that made some of the best soft pretzels I've ever tasted. :) You look lovely.

    Seycheslles has the prettiest shoes ever! I was SO bummed when the only Macy's we went to when we were in the USA didn't sell them. Boooo! They did seem to have that Miz Mooz brand everywhere though, but those are a bit too retro for me :) xo Nikki

    Oh no! I didn't know you lived close to Baltimore! That's a shame! But we only stayed in Baltimore for one night because we were flying home from BWI.


    I love your pictures :) I've only tried pretzels ones (in DC), but I didn't really get it. But I think I need to give them a second chance, haha!


    Hope you've had a great summer!

    I'm so jealous that you went to Amish country! I've been wanting to go and see how cute everything is. One day soon, I'm hoping I'll venture out there. Also...I love the neutral tones of your outfit and the mixing of patterns. Very cute! :)
