i love my ivy walls, evidently.


Agent99 neon tee // Cotton On denim skirt // vintage blazer // Alexander Wang Caroline shoes // American Apparel clutch // House of Harlow Chelsea sunglasses 

I'm not quite sure how most bloggers do it, but they always seem to have photos with such nice backgrounds. Granted, blurred out backgrounds but still lovely backgrounds. I have a tendency to lean towards walls or shrubbery but my favourite seems to be ivy covered walls. They have such an old world feel, that transcends the girl posing in front of it. Not that I mind sharing the limelight. Ivy covered walls always remind me of my favourite show as a little girl, Madeline. They provide the perfect backdrop to anything that I'm wearing, giving it that extra touch of class. 

It was a very seasonally cloudy day so obviously it was time to bring out the neon. 

But it's time for me to branch out, no pun intended. Watch this space, you won't see ivy vines in awhile.

  4. Can't believe you have Alexander Wang shoes. They are amazing!
    The leafy background is quite beautiful - simple but contrasting. I struggle to find nice scenery to shoot at. I'm envious of girls like Sincerely Jules and Song of Style because the side streets and walkways in SoCal just seem so picturesque.
    Looking forward to seeing more outfit posts from you!
