and i’m back! just recovered from a few days off with a kidney infection. it was only miserable for a couple of days before the antibiotics kicked in, but i took it easy this weekend and spent most of my time indoors, taking the opportunity to lay low and chill out instead of working myself to the bone with my usual twenty million projects and side projects. i know it seems kinda silly, but sometimes sick days can be the best for that. besides the party where you feel super crummy.
anyway, these photos were taken last weekend when i was feeling much better. i had been reminiscing about the early days of calivintage, when every single outfit photo was taken on the roof of my apartment. it’s a favorite spot for me and brendan to hang out, drinking beers and watching the sun go down on a warm spring evening. we just don’t usually stop to snap photos up there anymore… but it’s still there, up above the treetops with an epic view stretching out over our little corner of oakland. the weather has been so nice and springy that it feels like every day, we’ve been celebrating the warm temperatures and enjoying the smell of fresh blossoms all around us. so in honor of the occasion, i pulled on my fancy little lauren moffatt top, covered in teeny tiny white flower sequins on a pretty yellow silk shell for a little impromptu dancing session!
top: lauren moffatt car song sequin shell
skirt: american apparel denim circle skirt
shoes: thrifted vintage
bag: vintage wicker umbrella basket, gift from mom
sunglasses: flowers by alex knost sunglasses courtesy of raen optics
lipstick: makeup forever rouge artist intense in satin bright orange

I know how painful a kidney infection can be, glad the antibiotics have kicked in! You look unbelievably amazing though… can’t believe you were sick over the weekend! I’m in love with the blouse!

Sorry you had a kidney infection. Those are the worst. But at least you got meds that worked quickly! Love that umbrella basket and the collar on your shirt is so sweet. Glad you are feeling better! :)
yeah, it’s been a chronic problem for a number of years, so i’m pretty used to it. i know which meds work best, so i’m usually back on my feet really quickly, thank goodness! thank you!
adorable circle denim!

What a beautiful outfit! Love your top :)
That umbrella basket as a purse is precious! Also love how the top sort of hangs over the flared skirt. I normally tend to tuck in a tighter shirt with high waisted pieces, but this definitely gives the outfit a lighter, more whimsical feel. Great silhouette!
I’m drooling over that top. Gah! Lauren Moffat is the best.
that little umbrella makes for a great prop love how you paired this outfit with those lovely shoes.
this look is so cute!
that shirt is to die for! love it! xx
lovely as always!!
