TENNESSEE PHOTO DIARY

the mile walk

I bought these rad joggers from the Rue 21 sale rack while I was up here. They're super comfy (:

Caleb and I went on a cute little mile long walk around a small nature area where part of the civil war occurred. Ironically it was such a peaceful place to be. 

antique shop stop

This adorable shop was set up in booths and each booth was owned by a different vendor. They were all filled with the cutest antiques and refurbished vintage items. I can't wait to have a place of my own one day to decorate with furniture like this. 

This was in one of the booths and I fell in love with the way the books were displayed with odds and ends like the radio and the animals. There was a book that was labeled 383 ways to entertain a child. I found it amusing. 

downtown nashville  1st 

This was the view behind Caleb and I when we were sitting down by the river. I loved how raw all the buildings looked.

We happened along this huge record store called Lawrence Record Shop while we were walking the streets of downtown Nashville. It was impossible to go through everything because there was so much. 

The last stop we made in downtown was to grab a little grub for lunch. The struggle for us was finding some where that wasn't packed to the gills with people and some where that had food that wasn't going to cost me Caleb an arm and a leg. We stumbled on this gem called Paradise Park.  Neither of us were too hungry so we settled for something called the lil' chick. It's like two little fried chicken sandwiches with mayo and pickles. DELICIOUS, and all for only about $5.50. All of the employees were sweet as pie too, so I most definitely would recommend this dive. 

Even though it was really hot and sticky the whole week I'd say we had a good trip. I really liked getting to take some simple pictures so you guys could experience it as well, so stayed tuned for a photo diary of my trip to Colorado that is coming up in August. (:

Adios,

Cute friends 

Hi people, like I said in my Travel Post I spent the week in Tennessee and got to see some of my favorite humans!! I adore their care-free fashion and asked if i could snap some pictures of them for my blog. They were super excited to do it for me, so this post is all thanks to Rachel and Emma. You guys are the best!

 I'm going to link where to get their looks at the end of this post so check that out! Rachel's dress is still available, but Emma's isn't so I'm going to link a dress that is in the same style and color family.

Stay tuned for more,

Paige

Everyday: Why I journal

everyday

why i journal

Hey guys, I'm not really having the best day today and I realized that in my Mental Health post I didn't talk about journaling. Journaling is another huge part of what keeps me half way sane when my breakdowns occur. So there it is, part of the answer. I journal to keep myself sane. 

Journaling allows me to just spit out whatever thoughts are in my head, and honestly sometimes I don't even realize what I'm feeling until I journal. It's so freeing. You can word vomit all over a little page full of lines and then it's gone. Everything in that moment is on the page of the journal and you don't have to worry about it being stuck in your head. 

You're free. The thoughts are gone. DON'T KEEP THINKING THEM.

Ha, easy to say...not so easy to do. However, it is a step in the right direction to even pick up a pen and a sheet of paper and scribble your emotions on it. Even if the thoughts don't go away it's therapeutic to write and get out everything that you are feeling. 

I'm sorry this isn't a happy post, and I'm sorry I'm not giving you pictures to look at but I just needed to let out how I feel. Tomorrow I'm going to try and upload a little photo diary of my time here in Tennessee. I hope that goes well. 

Keep pushing, 

Paige

earth tones

Here it is homies, another get the look post. I want to start by saying these are a tad hard for me to do because I shop mostly at goodwill. But they are one of my favorites to create. With that being said, I am trying my best to find similar pieces for you guys so you can recreate my outfit in a similar way for yourselves. 

I'd also like to give credit to my love for these wonderful pictures he took of me. He was featured in my post Picnic 101. 

There's more to come,

Travel: What to Wear

what to wear

travel time

Alright kids, here is the deal.

 I leave today to go on a mission trip to Tennessee, but first I have to go to church. I needed to find an outfit that was dressed up enough for church but still comfy and casual enough to wear on our road trip. Rompers are definitely the best choice for me. They are effortless and still look put together. This tie dye one I bought off of a website where people can buy and sell clothes through each other. It's kind of like an online yard sale. I don't remember exactly what website this one was purchased off of, but this link will show you an article on the top 5 online consignment stores. I'm sure you'll be able to find something travel worthy on one of the sites. I picked out some of my old canvas Toms to wear because they are easy to slip on and off, and a baseball cap is a quick way to hide my messy travel hair. Remember to stay comfy and don't compromise you're style just for travel. 

Stay true to you,

Paige

I thought I'd share with you guys a "typical Paige" outfit. It's a little corky, but it all comes together and represents me pretty well! I'll put links to similar pieces after all of the photos so you guys can get the look too if you feel inclined to do so. 
see ya,

Festival Dreams

outfit details:

Tunic top: Goodwill 

Shorts: Ralph Lauren

Boots: Vintage store

Socks: Boy friends dresser

Sunnies: Goodwill

Rings: Mom's old wedding ring; gift

Sun hat: Dad's closet

This outfit was ultimately inspired by my dreams of going to a music festival. I wanted to keep the look simple and comfortable while still throwing off that festival vibe. I went for an oversized tunic with a lace detailing around the sleeves and the bottom of the shirt. The shorts are Ralph Lauren and also have a really relaxed fit. I stuck with earth tones to keep the look quite muted, so I chose a pair of olive green socks to compliment my vintage cut-out boots. If you're going to a music festival i would suggest close toe shoes so all the dirt doesn't get in-between your toes and all over your feet. That's never pleasant. Sun hats are a great way to keep you cool from the sun at festivals, and also adds a little personality to your outfit. I added a little interest to my outfit with my circle sunnies from Goodwill and decided to go for two simple rings on my index fingers. Remember the key to a good outfit is putting your personality in it, so just go for it! 

Have fun, 

Paige
