hold your horses

Today was one of these days where my heart felt full. Between the rustic barns, the green grass, the mud scrunching (yes that's a word) between my rain boots, and the beautiful presence of the horses, I felt completely whole. Lately I've been getting a craving of just walking around by a barn in a long dress, with a horse by my side. Sounds way too sentimental and stupid, but this is truly how I feel. I can't believe I got the opportunity to do just that today.

I can't tell you how beautiful these animals are guys. So peaceful, so loving, and even though they're intimidating as hell they completely mean well. I think I might be in love with them. Yupp guys, that's right, I fell in love with a horse.

high waters

Hi hi :-) Today Amanda and I set out on a mini adventure in a forest and in a field to photograph for one of my favorite companies: Scaramanga (leather goods). Also not a stranger to y'all. It was beautifully warm, and the shadows in the forest were so natural and cast such a glow…long story short, I had a very cleansing, relaxing day. Though I felt sick for most of it, being out in nature truly works on the soul. I think it's quite therapeutic to lay amongst the trees or in grass and just breathe.

sorry for under-boobage and rolls 

Outfit details: Zara sweater. Urban Outfitters distressed shorts. Rando brown leather belt. Grey City shoes. LA with love bralette. Free People hat.

This backpack has become my life since I received it in the mail. Seriously, I transferred all my essentials into it and haven't looked back. I've always wanted a mini little backpack to just take around for adventures/city trips/traveling, and this is the perfect one. It's apart of their new line too, and everything is genuine leather and such quality that it'll never break on you (seriously-never). I'm so, so happy about this little guy! I'll even be taking him to the city tomorrow.

Get yours here! Also you can find their site here, and Instagram here :-)

Hope you enjoyed the photos from today lovers! Tomorrow I'm going to the city with my best friend to celebrate her (belated) birthday so I'll be having tons of pictures up. Much love!!

Xoxo,

sleepy

Hi loves. So I just got back from work today and between being sick and what not I'm really feeling quite tired, and though I'm exhausted I thought why not do a little cozy post featuring what I usually wear when I have down time (since you guys never really get to see that) and my sort of process to unwind. I've always wanted to do an elaborated post like this (and I have before, my de-stress post, found here) but let's just take a tiny moment to see how I'm doing it tonight.

Wearing: Favorite Free People cardigan, Urban bralette, random gray leggings, cozy socks from Rob Kardashian's line (super random-I got them when my feet were killing me in NYC so we went to the Dash store…I do not regret anything)

Tonight I'm going to brew up some green tea, answer messages/emails, and really just be comfy with no cares in the world. I also need to get better because this weekend I plan on doing tons of shenanigans. I need to get it together.

How to de-stress weekday night style: make some tea. Blog. Watch a great movie. Get in a cardigan. Relax. Do some yoga. Eat dessert. Watch reality TV shows. Take off your makeup. Smile. Listen to music. Feel happy. Be happy.

I know this was short, but some little tips to hopefully let you unwind tonight. Love you guys so much!

Xoxo,
Kiki
