Hi everyone and Happy Sunday! I’m going to share the story behind these photos with you today. It’s really no spectacular story. I guess you might consider it more of an explanation.  I’m willing to bet that I’m not the only one who thinks this, but lately it’s been hard to find things in my closet to wear (other than casual jeans & a plaid shirt) to fit my mood because even though it’s technically still winter, my mind is already on pre-spring mode. I want to wear bright colors and lighter clothing, but it’s obviously still way too cold for that. So when Kaela (my photographer) showed up to my house recently for a blog photo shoot, she of course found me throwing things around in my office/closet and totally unprepared for the shoot!  I decided that due to my lack of outfit inspiration, I’d rather explore Downtown Covington until I felt more inspired. So we did! In case you didn’t catch on, Downtown Covington is where I live.

It was such a beautiful day and during our little venture we came across the lovely English Tea Room. The quaint old patio and bright red telephone booth looked so adorable that I couldn’t help myself and insisted that we pause the exploration to stop for hot tea and freshly baked scones. Our waiter was so sweet and knowledgable about all of the teas. He even remembered what I ordered from one of my previous visits! Hopefully he’ll remember next time too because I already forgot the name of my tea! Haha! Anyway after stopping to enjoy ourselves on that beautiful afternoon, we couldn’t leave the English Tea Room without a little photo opt in the telephone booth! I mean, can you blame me!  If you ever find yourself wandering around Downtown Covington, make sure to stop by for afternoon tea and delicious scones hot out the oven!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and yes I know I look like Pocahontas with the flowers in my hair hence the title “Just Around The Riverbend!”  This printed little number is currently my favorite flippy skirt hanging in my closet and I find almost every excuse to wear take it out! I try to change it up as much as possible when I wear it, but this is definitely my favorite way! It just looks so fun and easy paired with the breezy cropped top.  Although, I do also love it paired with my blue suede shoes! I added the flower halo this time to give it a little hippie vibe. You like?  Just a warning, you’re going to be seeing a lot of flower halos over the next few weeks. They’re one of my current obsessions along with Mary P Lamb jewels, Show Me Your Mumu Maxi dresses, cropped tops, Loren Hope bracelets and perforated booties so get ready to see a lot of that too!

P.S. This is my favorite street in downtown Covington! I grew up driving down this road every morning to get to school. I just love all of the beautiful oaks and the road’s sweet character and charm.  Plus my new home and some of my favorite restaurants and stores are just right around the corner!
