oh hello. i’m in redlands! i’m going to be working from los angeles all week, so i decided to come to town early this weekend to visit with family. these photos were taken by my brother after i woke up from a bbq induced coma yesterday afternoon, as we kicked around in my grandma’s backyard and around the neighborhood. i had originally purchased this marc by marc jacobs skirt with the intention of layering it up for cool weather, and was saving it in my closet for the perfect fall day. but when i was packing for my trip and i discovered that the highs would be reaching the 90s during my visit here, i realized that i would have to find a way to wear it for the “summer.”
i like that i ended up pairing it with an orange top while hanging out in redlands, since this little old town is known for it’s orange groves. well, at least it used to be back in the day. even my childhood home was surrounded by orange groves, but by now, most of them have been replaced by housing subdivisions. but it’s still nice to hold onto those memories of hot summer days with the smell of orange blossoms thick in the air…

I remember seeing that print on the runway and thinking, “How can an everyday woman wear that?” well – you, my dear are very special and not everyday :) and it looks amazing with that orange top! When the weather finally cools down it would be so chic with a creme sweater and boots! Do you even own any boots?! Why do I feel like I’ve never seen you in boots?!
I would give anything to be surrounded by the smell of oranges — this home is so lovely, and a coma-inducing BBQ sounds wonderful! Enjoy your hometown and your new endeavors in LaLaLand!
Cracking print on your skirt, love it!…x
I love your skirt! And it’s perfect with that orange shirt, such a cute late summer day outfit.

I love this photos & what a darling outfit! digging the print on your skirt. I hope the Southern Cali heat wave stays for a good while because I am really enjoying it.

You look lovely in these photos. I love the skirt
Oh my gosh this skirt!! So funny I had just gotten the Teen Vogue with Alexa Chung on the cover and there’s an ad for Marc by Marc with this amazing deer print on like the first page, but I think it’s a shirt dress or something, and I was freaking out over how amazing it was! So now I’m freaking out over how amazing that skirt is!
orange is so lovely on you!
i live in prospect park in redlands! love your skirt. love your blog.
Your blog is incredible… and your shoes are to die for!
I so love that your brother is willing to take blog pictures for you! Mine would neeeeeever do that haha he thinks my blog is amusing.
Love the outfit and the lighting in these pictures is so breathtaking!
Nice heatwave look, perfect for these warmer days but still reminiscent of fall. Wonderful pairing of high and low.
Marc Jacobs prints are the best! This outfit and the photos are so cool. I grew up in Rancho Cucamonga and remember having lots of citrus groves and vineyards around…gosh, I even remember seeing guys herding sheep across Baseline. Wow. Yeah, you don’t see any of that now.
That skirt is to die for!
Oh my God Erin this skirt kills me!
had to have it from the moment i first saw it. you know i can’t resist a good novelty print. when i was wearing it, everyone asked if it was vintage!
Cute skirt!! XO Rebecca

That’s an amazing beautiful skirt, you look great in orange and it really brings out the print. Although I admit I didn’t realise they were impalas/deer at first glance, from a far the lighter bits looked like mushrooms to me. Sounds like you’re having a great time back home :)
Your skirt is gorgeous of course, I’m pretty jealous ha ha !
See U
Great outfit!
My childhood was growing to another IE city, Riverside. Orange zest was one of my favorite smell during the late night.
PS I love the skirt.
What a great outfit.
I love the second pic, with the red shirt, and the tats on the backs of your arm… great composition.
