eye scream for ice cream & john ruvin

Last weekend Dave and I collaborated on the story telling photo album for John Ruvin glasses. We wanted to play with a simple his and her story that captivated the warmth and playfulness of summer. Overall it was a super fun shoot, and it was nice to do something different than what I normally do with outfit posts. Sure my outfit was key to the overall theme, sugary pastels that make you think of two scoops of ice cream, but to tell a story was the most important objective in this shoot. Plus it was fun to shoot the man behind the camera as well, and dress him up for the story. I think doing this project for John Ruvin has definitely inspired me and helped me get out of a blogging funk I felt like I was stuck in since the turn of the new year.

Both Dave and I are wearing Prescott by John Ruvin, I have on the Amber Ombre, while Dave went with Traditional Tortoise.

Hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed shooting them! Happy Summer (finally!!)

After much ado, I decided to invest in a new pair of glasses from bonlook. After seeing these bad boys in Erin from Calivintage (back to back shoutouts) I couldn't wait to show them off. They are cuter and sweeter than my last pair, so that's why I decided to simply go the whole nine yards and dress absolutely cute to the "t". And whats not cuter than a kitty in a bow tie...

NOTHING.

You all know I love ironic sweaters, but I don't merely just were sweaters for wearing sweaters, I have to hone in the best of the best. I have saved my finds since the 7th grade and still love reworking them today. Though it has been unseasonably warm, it has not stop being a wintery gloom. The gloomier it is the brighter I dress, why let the weather put a damper on your style?
