I should be a model for Target

Shirt: Target

Jean Skirt: Target

Sandals: Target (last summer)

Necklace: Flea Market Purchase

I seriously have a Target shopping addiction! I love all of their clothes and most of the time they are on sale (like this entire outfit). I love this new ensemble brought to you by my one and only Momma! We finally had a shopping day and Target is my number one store for cute, affordable clothes.

I don't have a picture of the back of my shirt, but there is a zipper at the top, which I love! I think the zipper dresses the shirt up or down depending on what you wear it with. I am also in love with my new jean skirt which I've been wanting for quite awhile now!

Thanks so much to my wonderful mother for my new clothes :) love you

camp crystal lake

My brother went off to Camp Crystal Lake on Sunday. It kinda sucks that the last week I spend in Gainesville he will be gone :( But he loves going to camp every year and I know he will be having a blast! Cannot wait until I get to see my buddy on Friday.

XOXO Julia

(somewhat) old photos

More photos from Lauren's visit. I am finally going through everything. We did take lots of photos that weekend :)

This is Paynes Prairie (found on the way to Micanopy). It is a state park where you can find all kinds of animals including alligators, wild buffalo, wild horses along with deer and other local wildlife. It is pretty cool! Although, we saw not one wild animal (except maybe a heron).

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day. When I arrived at Rex and Ryan's abode, I took the boys for a walk. Rex had a blast. He wanted to take even more pictures, and he took quite a few good ones for his age. Their neighbors own horses making mighty fine subjects for his photos :)

The two pictures below are from Rex's point of view. It is really weird looking at his pictures and mine. We had pictures of the same subjects, but his have a totally different personality about them because they are from his point of view versus mine. It is disorienting.

Where is baby Ryan you ask? Asleep! He slept through the whole thing. Oh well. He was tired!

Chloe + Isabel

 Lauren's accessories are top notch now, because she has soooo much to choose from. I loved looking at all her things, plus I cannot wait to borrow some for myself when I get back to Tallahassee.

Check out her boutique.

Worn in this post is the Color Burst Color Necklace.

Also, check out Lauren's blog for the stylish ways she incorporates all of her new accessories. Supah jealous!

Rex & Ryan

So I've been babysitting these lovelies quite a bit lately. They are so adorable aren't they?! Rex is the oldest (3.5) and Ryan just turned 1. I have my 50mm on and honestly, I'm not sure it is good for taking photos of very active young men. I love the effect that happens, but with all the movement there is a (very large) probability that you won't get the clarity you were hoping for, as what happened in most of my pictures! All about that trial and error.

^playing with his favorite toy (my phone).

^he fell asleep mid-bottle.

^they are so little.

After I was taking pictures Rex wanted to take some. He took quite a few laughing at most of them and couldn't wait to show me all of them. These were his best photos. I might have a budding photographer on my hands :)

So glad it's hump-day. Hope everyone enjoys their Wednesday!

familia

This is from like a couple weekends ago - when Lauren came to visit. She jokes that we will have a family photo every month of 2013. I think she is right! Haha, well at least we can pinpoint the exact changes in 2013 compared to every other year of our lives.

I am so sad that the summer is almost over and I will be back in Tallahassee away from my family, but I will have lots of pictures to look at :)

I know I haven't had a blog post in forever and I apologize for that! I have been super busy with work and babysitting on the side. Life has just been crazy.

Like my necklace? I love it! My necklace is from Chloe + Isabel, the boutique Lauren is a merchandiser from. Check out her boutique at http://www.chloeandisabel.com/boutique/laurentarr. Don't forget to check out her blog as well.

We took in the Waldo Flea Market today. Bought miniature doughnuts for breakfast, and walked all around not finding one item worth purchasing.

Sometimes the most random photos are my favorite.

Lauren got her country on today. She was helping out with yard work and drove the front end loader (with some help). More awesome photos tomorrow. Thanks for following along.
