Twin Lakes

DSC_0055

Yesterday, I had a strong desire to go somewhere beautiful, so Zak suggested we go to Twin Lakes, a lake and nature trail nearby. I had such a wonderful time roaming the woods, looking at the slightly mucky but still lovely lake, taking too many photos, and laughing my butt off with Zak. One of the main things I dislike about living in New York City is how difficult it is to escape from the urban to the natural. Taking outfit shots around my neighborhood is a hassle because no one, including myself, even has a lawn, let alone a nice field of flowers by their house. So, when I get to escape to places like this, even if just for an hour or so, it makes me quite happy. So happy, that I take way too many photos and post them all here. So yeah, this is my warning that this post is going to be a bit photo heavy.

    I love all the pictures; the surroundings are so beautiful.
    I am actually luck enough to live in a small place
    with lots of fields but also a nice and actually very picturesque city. I should get some pictures of that soon, actually.
    Any ways, your outfit is darling, as always. Love the red shorts.

    So this could quite possibly be your best outfit ever! I am in love with your shorts, your hat, your shirt, your shoes. Just everything! And why is a desire to go somewhere beautiful strange? I have that desire every single day :)

    aw, I love this post. That hat is a great find! And I feel you about the desire to be in nature. It is funny, as a teenager I wanted to kill my mother for making me go on hikes and such, now I miss it :(

    This is awesome! Beautiful scenery and cute outfit! I love the scalloped shorts. I've seen them around and I feel like I'd be addicted to them if they lived in my drawers.

    Ok I have to reblog this in my tumblr because it is a combo of all of my favorite things. One of my favorite color combos (red+white), high-waisted shorts, a tied blouse & a hat! Perfection! Plus that close-up of you is the cutest thing ever.

    This is the perfect summer outfit lady! I am loving the scalloped shorts with the tie shirt. And your little sunhat- swoon! I am such a sucker for straw/wicker/fancy sun hats. This one completes the whole look! xx

    I mean, living in a big city has its ups and downs, but wow! You live in NYC! How amazing is that? Besides, you still get to find those awesome spots, which are beautiful! There's no vegetation here :p I'd rather have no lawn, than have no trees around :p Your hat and your shoes are so perfect! They look very camp-ish :P does that makes sense? camp-ish?! D:

    I like how you knot your shirt!
