adventures of the chlo-mary kind

so here it is, almost 11 p.m. and i'm deciding to write another post, as i have failed to do so since the 5th of july. the time honestly just flies by, i don't even know if july should be considered a month at this point. it's bizarre to think that this my last summer as a high school student *insert sassy gasp* yes. in a little over a year, i will be thrown in to adulthood and making floor plans for my house in the hamptons. although i'm not sure where i want to attend, i'm keeping all of my options open, whether i want to stay local or go upstate. all i know for sure is that i'm terrified of the transition. after all, the farthest i've gone by myself is cheer camp in san diego for four short days; but i'm up for the challenge!

well, aside from that little update/rant, i had a fab day with my friend chloë smith, queen of curls. (she just so happens to have a blog, go check her out! she's pretty whatever. click here)
before she goes off to cheer camp tomorrow, we decided to have a few hours to catch up and have acai bowls at one of my favorite hangouts in redlands, ca called 'the living root cellar' for the majority of our visit, we ate and discussed our summers so far, then decided to have a little impromptu outfit of the day photo shoot. 

what i wore
-forever 21 top
-forever 21 polka dot trousers
-steve madden 'ms. populr' shoes
- louis vuitton 'favorite pm' clutch

now i promise you, i don't always wear head-to-toe black and white; i've just been in a very kim k. post baby "i'm only wearing neutrals" mood. 
bc why not?

so after further ado, here are some photos from today's adventure through the streets & alleyways of redlands, ca...
