Oh, to walk across the ocean...

If only we could really walk across the ocean on our bare feet to visit other places around the world! It's up in the 80s and 90s in Indiana right now and incredibly muggy! I need the beach and a good book, stat! I just purchased a plane ticket to Los Angeles over the 4th of July and I couldn't be more excited. I haven't been out there since February, which is far too long.

Speaking of traveling, there is an AMAZING giveaway on the blog Oh Happy Day. You could win a trip for two to Paris! Dream come true? I think so. What a perfect occasion to practice my French! Here's the giveaway: Enter here!

Fields & Frozen Toes {outfit post}

Yesterday, for the first time in a few weeks, it was above freezing in Indiana! After some thrifting, my friend Liv and I decided to take some photos outside on our way home. It felt semi-warm (to us in Indiana) for the first few minutes, but the sun was setting and by the end of our fun, our feet were frozen.   It was definitely worth it. 

Tomorrow, I'm going to post my first giveaway! I'm looking forward to it. What fun winter plans do you all have? I'd love to hear! I hope you all are having a great weekend!
