As soon as our shoot was done on Friday Drew and I went home, threw some things together in a bag, and made the drive to Tennessee to spend the holiday weekend with my family. I knew it was going to be a great weekend as soon as we pulled into my parents’ driveway and saw a giant armadillo in their backyard–amazing! It sort of wobbled its way across the tree-line of their backyard and was probably the size of 8 Rufuses put together.
We had the most relaxing weekend, which we needed (Drew especially). It was a lot of fun to see my parents and then Lauren and Neil on Saturday, when we all went to a winery and ate cheese and chocolate dinners. There was more wine at home and expresso and then chocolate cake that my mom made, and I ate so much sugar this weekend that I’m on the brink of sugar sickness, but it was worth it. Easter candy and my mom’s sugar cookies and my dad’s blueberry cheesecake and Neil’s homemade ice cream . . .
Usually I try to find an Easter dress every year but this year I went for shorts instead. I’d been trying to find a perfect blouse for these chambray shorts from Family Affairs, and when I went to H&M last week I came across this little linen top from their Conscious Collection. When my mom saw it she said it looked like something she would have worn in the ’70s, and when Lauren saw it she said it looked Edwardian, and I think they’re both right and that’s why I like it. And really I just wanted to wear something blue and white (and to steal a look from the New Kid lookbook).
This makes me regret spending Easter in my sweats!
PS: You and Drew make a mighty cute couple :]
Lovely photos as usual

Wow! Tennessee looks a lot like my German home county.
I love the Blouse and all the Tennessee Photo’s.
Glad you had a good time and relaxed!
I really love this look! I think it’s great switching up the Easter outfits : ) And what a beautiful location to photograph. Reminds me of places in Ireland.
LOLing @ the mental image of 8 Rufuses clumped together in the shape of an armadillo. Love the blouse, good find!
Love the dreamy rural backgrounds, looks like you had a perfect day for photographs. I always buy a new (vintage) dress every Easter too but I like the idea of a sweet pair of shorts. The blue & white combo also reminds me a little of the outfits in “500 Days of Summer”.
I always like when Drew pops up in photo shoots, looks like he was rockin’ shorts too.
You guys look great! The photos have such nice and dear lighting. This is wonderful.
So beautifully summery
Also gorgeous landscapes!
Tennessee looks lovely, I can’t wait to go there for Bonnaroo x.x

Your outfit looks lovely … as do those dreamy, relaxed looking photos.
The long weekend seems to have treated us all very well indeed.
Hi ! I have a question about your shoes. I want the same but I am hesitating between the high and super-high heels clogs ? Which one do you wear ? Which one should I buy ? Thanks for your answer !

Whoa, an armadillo? Cool! The first thing that came to mind, though, is that I read yesterday that armadillos carry leprosy, and people can catch it from touching them or the soil they burrowed in. Crazy, right? Guess petting them is a bad idea.
Oh my god, don’t play with armadillos! I heard they can give you leprosy…I see someone above me has also heard that, so you know it’s real!
