Again

I know - I just wore these shorts, like, 4 outfit posts ago. I told you I really like them.

My hair was really frizzy and all over the place by the time I took these photos, and I was sweating profusely, But I really wanted to document this outfit. Proof that I basically haven’t taken these shorts off since I got them. I’m looking forward to fall as much as the next style blogger, but the day that it is finally too cold to wear them is going to be a sad, sad day. 

For those of you that follow me on Instagram, you may have saw that I was torn between two pairs of Warby Parker frames. Well, tadaaaaaaa - I chose Sinclair. I think Sinclair and Winston are gonna be best friends.

Fancy Casual

I kinda, sorta love this outfit. I just can’t get over the fancy/casual combo. Pair a basic tee with a pretty chiffon skirt, and you can’t lose. The only thing that would make this better would be if the skirt was more of a fuller, tutu shape. 

Great, now I feel the need to buy a tutu.

The Weekend

Our beach plans got foiled this weekend. So instead, we went furniture shopping, made popsicles, and worked on various projects. What does one wear for such a simple weekend? An easy tee dress and a scarf to cover up that greasy hair, of course. Because, who showers on the weekend, anyway?

Wait, that’s just me? Oh. 

………….

P.S - crisis averted… I have a working lens now. Phew, that got scary for a minute.

Bad Days (And Pretty Dresses)

*Siiiiiiigh* You guys, Wednesday was just one of those days. 

I think I broke my camera lens. Or maybe my camera body, but I think just my lens. It took a nose dive from atop my tripod, and it hit the ground. Hard. Something is definitely wrong now. The photos are now a little hazy - not as sharp as normal. 

And it makes me cry. Well, that and the giant burn on my stomach from splattered bacon grease. That makes me cry, too. But, lets be honest, it’s mainly the messed up lens. 

…..

Well, I have a fun new dress. So at least there’s that. 

…..

Here’s to hoping for a better weekend. Happy friday, my friends!

Story Of Some Lacey Shorts

I was really worried when I first ordered these shorts online about a month and a half ago. I worried that they would be too short, and too tight, and I would feel too uncomfortable in them to wear in public. 

But it has been the exact opposite of that. 

I have been living in them. I took them along on the honeymoon, and I wore them every other day. Literally. As a beach cover up, on the botanical gardens visit, and wherever else I could.  And I still can’t stop wearing them. Maybe it’s because they feel like I’m wearing pajamas, except they are really pretty. I mean, I do enjoy wearing my pajamas, and I do like pretty things. It’s a match made in heaven.

Lust List : Glasses

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of getting another pair of glasses. I wear mine every.single.day, and would love to have different options. I mean glasses are just another accessory, right? I don’t own just one necklace, or one pair of shoes, to go with every outfit. Right? Right - or at least, in my head.

 So, after my eye exam today, I’m going to order some! And then I’m hoping to ask for one or two more for christmas. Because I’m really that obsessed. And they are all oh, so pretty. How could I pick just one?

1. BonLook - Smoking Hot

2. Warby Parker - Sinclair

3. EyeFly - Krakovska

4. BonLook - Bonnie & Clyde

5. Warby Parker - Preston

6. EyeFly - Calle de Serrano

Summer Plaid and Floral

This shirt is really tight up top. But I guess that’s what I get for thrifting in the children’s section again.

On another note - why do I not always wear my hair in milk braids?! I think I’ve found my newest hair obsession.

In My Life - Dog-Sitting, Braids, and A Blog Makeover

How do you like the new look? I ended up changing the blog layout on a whim saturday night, and I’m really happy I did. I think HollyDolly needed a fresh new look, and I’m really digging the larger photo layout! I’m still working on a few aspects, and older posts aren’t formatted to the newer size - so bear with me while I work out the kinks. 

Other things I did this weekend - ate lots of cookies, dog-sat an adorable pup, and sipped lemonade out of a Ninja Turtles bottle. Jealous? :)

St. Lucia, Part Four - The Peace and Quiet

I originally told myself that I would limit myself to only two honeymoon posts. But, do you know how hard it is to narrow down 300+ pictures into two short posts? Ridiculously hard. It was hurting my brain trying. 

So I’m not gonna even bother trying to narrow it down. For my own sanity. Instead, the rest of this week is dedicated to honeymoon photos, if you don’t mind. If you do, well, you should probably just step away and come back next week. Just sayin’. 

Lastly, post 4/4 - the peace and quiet time.

.

Ok, I lied - this was my favorite part. The resort that we chose to stay at - Ladera, isn’t your typical busy, bustling resort. Its quiet, it feels deserted (even though it’s not), and it’s absolutely gorgeous. It has, hands down, the absolute  best view on the whole island. And, at night, it is so dark that you can see every single star in the sky (Boo was in heaven).

It was so calming and relaxing. Even on the days it rained, I didn’t mind staying in our room, looking out over the Pitons, and taking Boo on in a few games of scrabble.
