Also featuring: my first attempt at the ‘flat lay’ photo aesthetic.

So, starting tomorrow – Preston and I are going on vacation! Ah! So excited.

If you are not prepared for all the adorable vacation pictures (lake side, of course!) – then go ahead and follow me on instagram to see this cuteness!

We’re headed up to the Adirondacks. I’m hoping to get some sun, some swim, a few nights out, lots of cute pictures, and of course…a spa day. I’ll be posting a vacation blog after we get back. But it’s going to be amazing! Here’s a picture of where we are headed.

Jealous, right?

But as any good fashionista knows – your vacay wardrobe can definitely say a lot about your trip! So in no particular order – here’s my getaway garb!

Jammies! For sleeping! And I always find that dragging my stuffed tiger (that I’ve had for almost 20 years) still makes me happy in my grown up years. DON’T JUDGE ME! TIGER IS A GREAT TRAVEL COMPANION. For real, Tiger has been to like 9 countries, 38 states, and a zillion small towns.

Spare phone charger. Always.
A little pouch to keep your cell phone, chapstick, keys, etc. while you’re water side.

WHAT SHOULD I RENAME MY BLOG? ANYONE? BUELLER?

I’m looking to make a new name for my blog. Clever Little Fox, Frankly My Dear, I’m a Veronica, How Very, Off Key & On Point, Princess Charming?

How Very and Clever Little Fox are my top choices. How Very being a reference to my favorite 80’s movie and one of my fave musicals – Heathers.
