Creamsicle

DRESS: c/o Dahlia SOCKS: ASOS*
SHOES: Kohls forever ago! MAGAZINE & TOTE: c/o MISSRobin

Good Morning and Happy September! These pictures were taken at the rose garden last week - all the roses were in full bloom and it was so absolutely gorgeous to take pictures there!

I'm wearing a dress from one of my very favorite clothing brands, Dahlia - the creamy colors remind me of creamsicles! The detailing on the back is utterly stunning, and I love the silhouette of the dress! I'm always totally in awe of how gorgeous Dahlia's pieces are ♡

Meanwhile, the lovely founders of MissRobin Fanzine - Lucas Asín, Helena Contreras & Helena Exquis - sent me a beautiful package that included candy from Spain and their very first print issue! I was absolutely floored by the gorgeous photography, brilliant articles, and overall aesthetic. I contributed a piece for one of their earlier issues (anyone remember my DIY daisy sunglasses?!) and I'm definitely brainstorming ideas so I can be included in their next print issue!

I'm a bit behind with everything so please bear with me! My mom and I got back a couple days ago from an emergency car trip to Washington. My great aunt's health is rapidly declining and one of her last wishes was to see my mom one more time - it was emotionally and physically draining trip to say the least, but I'm glad my mom got to say a proper goodbye to her favorite aunt ♡

I hope you all are having a beautiful day - you deserve the best!
