Painted House and Garden

I don't think I need to write much this post.

I was just walking down the street in the middle of Philly when I saw this house/veggie garden.

Fun fact: Philadelphia has more public art than any other city in the US, and someone told me its 2nd in the world behind Venice, but I might need to check some statistics on that one...

...regardless this garden is so magical...imagine it in the fall when all the vegetables are ripe!

Home Office Update

Another Week at the Anthropologie home offices is coming to a close....summer is going TOO fast. Every day this job & this city fills me with such joy. I'm so grateful for kind people, rooftops, breezy summer days, and just being 20 years old. Honestly what a gift it is to be this young and doing what I love in a city I don't know. So thanks for that universe.

My sister, Sophia, visited for a day and I made her snap a couple of phone pics on this couch (something I've wanted a picture on since I interviewed back during the year :)

& a couple a phone pic outfit details....

Hope everyone out there is having an amazing summer :)

Strawberry Pie & an Anthro Birthday Party

Last Sunday was baking day. I went to the store/farmers market and got all my strawberry summer pie ingredients.

It was one of my mentors birthdays on Monday so I basically ate one whole pie myself while watching the bachelorette and brought the other to work for a classic Anthropologie birthday party.

My 4th favorite thing about work behind getting paid to collage/draw prints/be creative, pet dogs (cause everyone brings their dogs to work),  and work in a fairy world, are the parties.

Every day it seems like some group of people is having a party with amazing food and even more amazing decor. Last week I was put on tassel/spinach & artichoke dip duty and cooked and made tassels for most of the morning, aka I love where I work.

Party mid set up

My mentor loves fancy drinks so everyone was told to bring a different beverage as a gift.

And of course I tasseled everything :)

Doe and Fox

Meet my friends Doe and Fox...

....just two kids sharin' a popsicle :)

I've been drawing so many animals in clothes recently...I'm thinking of making a series out of it, but we'll see :)

Outfit Details

First of all, this isn't a personal style blog...I mean that would be pretty fun if it was, but I don't have a super gifted photography boyfriend who follows me around as I gaze into the distance looking distraught/mysterious/surprised while pouting my lips (this seems like this is every girl with a decent personal style blogs life lol).

Yeah i've blogged outfits before, but that involves me setting a timer on my camera, running across the room, posing like a fool, and hoping no one walks in while I'm having a photo shoot with me, myself, and I. Also, since I'm not looking through the lens controlling the picture the result is always just a lucky accident if it turns out at all.

This all being said ever since I started working at the Anthropologie home offices in Philly I've really enjoyed getting dressed...I mean I always have, but Anthro/Free People is so my style, so I feel excited each morning to just be bohemian vintage girly me.

Here are a couple little snapshots from monday and tuesday this week as I attempted to document my outfit. Taking photos of yourself sucks. I need a photography friend to be silly and vain with (DYLAN WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!).

Monday. It was a bit chilly so I layered my mint sweater and oversized crocheted vest.

Also...handmade Native American leather pouch and deer vertebrae necklace I found in the woods.

Found a robin's egg shell that matched my sweater perfectly :)

Tuesday. Trying to take selfies but my camera wouldn't focus (but I liked the pictures anyway)...chartreuse skirt.

Moms old belt front the 80s/90s and my turquoise Buddhist box necklace.

Thats all for now....
