Sneak Peek

Yesterday my arm skin saw the warmth of the sun for the first time in 6 months...
that is not me being dramatic.

I got to help my fellow American expat living in Scotland, Jillian,
with a styled Bridal shoot.

The weather could not have been anymore perfect.
It is amazing how the sun turns me into a functioning human being..
and lets be honest,
 A lot nicer of a human being too..
(Stephen nods his head)

With this quick turn of the weather,
I felt the sudden urge to buy some pastel items of clothing..
now I just need a tan to go with them..
because good lord..
I put on a pair of my new high waist yellow pastel shorts..
and was blinded by the glow of my pale white legs..
and personally shocked to even see them taken out of the comfort of long pants for a brief moment in the changing room..

it was one of those OH MY GOD I HAVE LEGS moments..
you know what I mean?
no?
At least they were shaved..

partially.

from the knee down.
baby steps.

While I take advantage of the weather today and pet some baby animals..
here are just a couple snaps that Stephen took from yesterday's shoot.
(he carried me across the lawn so the dress wouldn't get dirty..feel free to gasp and aawwee)

  1. Yayyyy! You look so hot :)
    It's funny how warm weather attracts us to bright colors - it's been around 70 degrees here all week and i immediately went to Zara and bought a pair of pastel pink trousers and mint green skinnies.

    You look so lovely in that photo, there is plenty of gasping and aweeing over here.

  2. So pretty!

    I'm relishing living in the tropics right now as a move to Scandinavia most definitely means a return to pasty, white legs!

  6. I love the picture of you through the branches- like he was sneaking an illicit peek! Also, I wore shorts yesterday for the first time... yep. Things were blinding, but I didn't care! Okay, I cared a little, and used my Jergens tan-lotion today! Yay for an actual spring!

  21. Ah! You're freakin gorgeous! Big collective sigh for the man carrying you in a wedding dress. Now, did I read right in the 'about' section that you guys are moving to the land of sunshine next summer? Sunshine is your natural habitat. Can't beat that!

    And if you are talking about white legs, I literally have the whitest legs ever, they are like ghost's legs if ghosts had legs.

    Jonny laughs at them every time he sees them because they are that white--isn't that true love ;)
