Decked Out

Am I going full lifestyle blogger?! Maybe. Probably not. But welcome to my favorite part of my little apartment: my back deck!

Lately my preferred method of hanging with a friend is out on the deck over a glass of wine OR a cocktail, maybe with some mint from my mint plant?? LOOK OUT. By the way -- mint is self-propagating, so make a friend with a mint plant and steal a sprig of theirs to plant for yourself! It will grow pretty happily and easily, that's the key here. I'm tricking you into thinking I'm a botanical goddess when I am NOT. This mint is from Art's mom's garden :) Out there with the string lights and the radio is pretty perfect to me!

As far as the outfit goes: my sister actually bought this dress for her 13 Going on 30 birthday party, and it was too big for her :| so she gave it to me. Looks like it's still available in limited sizes online, and it does feel like a very luxe sundress. I don't have much else to say! I guess that's why they call it a lifestyle blog. Oh, I kinda apologize for doing the cape-jacket thing...but not really.

I am always fascinated by seeing people's living spaces (or maybe I'm just nosy?) It's so demonstrative of life, duh, as well another great way to record a chapter of life. This phase won't last forever, but I'll always cherish it; being 27 and living alone for the first (and last?) time in my one bedroom duplex.

Though these photos are a deviation from the norm, I thought it would be fun to shoot out here! I wanted to invite you further into my little space that's totally my own, that I completely decorated and am proud to call my own. Adriane & I actually shot some pictures in my living room this weekend so stay tuned! Can't wait to share them!

Hope you guys had a good weekend. Alissa was visiting Nashville so we got to meet up on Friday !!! Then I attended a gorgeous wedding on Saturday, and Sunday too (not just the wee hours, but that too.) SO I feel like I was hit by a truck today.
