lounging in florida


 We just got back from our 5 day trip to Florida.
The hotel internet didn't work most of the time.
That's why I couldn't update my blog, or go online.

Me at the hotel
My shorts are thrifted

Here are some palm tree inspired fashions I like:
Vintage Palm Trees Dress

I really like the way this dress is styled.
Tropical Sun Dress
Upcycled Distressed T-Shirt


I think these shorts are so cute,
 but I could never wear them,
 because they are too short for me.

Hand Painted Cut Off Shorts

Vintage Print Blouse

Hand Painted Front and Back Black Tank

Art journal pages
 I drew these in my in laws backyard,
back in May.
I added the paint later.


I've been up since 2:45 AM, with about an hour nap.
 I was basically dead tired when we got home.
 I'm feeling more refreshed now, though.  :)

  14. Hi Teddi! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I love your blog, and I so know what you mean about hearing a song you haven't heard in a while!! I was in Florida back in June, it was wonderful. Love your art journal pages too, especially love the blind contour self portrait, I like how you left the lines and colored it in from memory...funny how much we are influenced by our experiences and those who are most familiar to us. Cheers!
