just to exist







wildfox lucky manhattan cardigan; bdg tank; william rast jerri jeans in hematite; blowfish shoes.

Today we are having perfect weather. The kind of weather that makes me know that September is still gripping onto the last strings of summer, in hopes of stretching it as far as it will go. I get so antsy sitting at my desk all day. It's days like these that I wish we didn't unwillingly become a one car couple, so I could escape somewhere and soak up the sun. I went for a walk instead. Down the hill, through the trails, and near the river where I could hear kids playing in it nearby. I had a sudden urge to sit myself down and stay there the rest of the day... just to enjoy the world. When was the last time you found a calm, quiet place and just existed for once?

Happy hump day.

  6. Lovely photos! Love september because it's partly Autumn but still with a bit of summer left overs. It's like standing with one foot in autumn and the other one in summer. You perfectly described it.

  9. I think it's hard, just to exist, as you say. I'm trying to make meditation a habit in my life, but to be still, isn't easy when you have so much going on in your world and head. - Great post and beautiful pictures.

  10. Sounds like heaven! Living in Los Angeles doesn't make escaping to a quiet place very easy. Love the Pics.

  13. I am so in love with this entire outfit. I have felt kind of surreal since being away from home and here abroad just not natural.

  14. You are always so poetic with your words and make me re-evaluate the little things I do in my life. It is so important to just exist in the world. Sometimes that can be hard when we are living behind a desk. Thanks for the reminder, girl! :)

  15. I'm very very jealous of that sweater! If only I could afford it!

  16. I looove that sweater! So much! The last time I sat down and just existed...I can't remember. I'd like to say that spending time with my son was when I just existed, but he keeps me so busy. I don't know the last time that I just sat down by myself and existed. Perhaps it's time.
