(everything worn here is either thrifted or vintage)
Summer in the city is feeling like early spring. The humidity following rain, still cool enough to drink your coffee without ice, and muddy sidewalks. This Tuesday was quite the springy summer day, which I spent out and around the Volker neighborhood visiting some of my favorite local spots. Any day you get a vegan cupcake is a good day, in my book.
Speaking of books, if you follow me on instagram you might have already heard my ideas on this, I am gathering ideas to create a book of my own. It's always been my dream to write a coffee table book, and I've been doing research which led me to find that possible. I am in the process of gathering ideas to create a print-based version of my blog (with original content of course) based around columns that are normally found here. I will be making an official announcement within the new weeks, but I was too excited not to chat about it. Much planning is ahead.
Your dress is so lovely! I would honestly buy all my dresses in that style and shape if I could, but alas they're harder to come by here ho-hum. ps. very cute little cactus cup, I'd love one to sit on my window :) x

Adorable dress! Excited about the book idea~Sounds fun! Vinyl Renaissance is an awesome store. You should check out Mills Record Company, too. They're mostly new records, but the lady who runs it is so sweet :)

Good luck with the book! That cupcake looks soo delish, but then again I am a sucker for sugary sweets. You look very cute in your vintage dress :)

French toast cupcake?? That sounds delicious! Summer has felt like early spring here too. Such weird weather our country is having lately. And congrats on the book! That sounds like it will be a fun accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is amazing! You have the BEST closet. Also, I pretty much love all the pictures here. That cactus in the teacup is killing me. I have a little cactus in a teacup ad I love it. And also, i'd read your book in a heartbeat!

Maybe gooseberries are something typical german, I don't know. But when I was a child they were in every garden and we used to snack them a lot at this time of the year :) If you find some in Kansas city you should really try the compote. Its a little sour but also really good :)!
ReplyDeleteLove your pictures and that copy shop looks just awesome! I somehow miss American coffee shops even though I also have a few favorites ones here in my city.

Just loved your dress :)
