Ever since I got back from studying in London and traveling Europe I constantly feel a need to keep moving and to have small "adventures" in local places right here in Pennsylvania. I've always had a hard time staying still, which is a major reason why I moved to the city after high school but now I feel the need to just see as much as possible. Maybe that's what wanderlust is all about, even when you don't have the means to travel too far.
A few weeks ago Derek and I traveled to Columcille Megalith Park. The stone structure reminded us of a mini stonehedge. The park is unique in the fact that it's considered a spiritual place and no pets, camp fires or even picnics are allowed. In all honestly, I was nervous that it was wrong for us to take pictures in the park! But of course, we went along with it anyways after seeing other groups of people taking pictures as well.
The park is located in Eastern Pennsylvania in the Appalachian mountains so it ended up being a beautiful, quiet day. I strongly recommend this park if you're ever in the area and need a place to go for quiet meditation or to clear your mind. As much as I love the city and living in Philadelphia, it's nice to escape for the day every once in awhile. This dress from LOFT is currently on heavy rotation. (And it's on sale now!) I could wear it every single day and be perfectly content. I'm such a sucker for anything gingham, checked or plaid. (I have this top in mind for my next purchase.) It's also cute with flats, sandals and heels which is always a win-win! While I was in London, New Look was my go-to for any kind of sandals and I actually ordered these after getting back to the States and had them shipped here. I'm so obsessed with platform sandals this summer, they add a good amount of height and aren't too difficult to walk on thanks to the width of the heel.
What's currently on rotation in your closet? And what kind of mini adventures have you being going on?

I can totally relate to feeling like you need to adventure after being on a bit trip like Europe - there are often so many undiscovered places around your hometown!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this chic sophisticated look - the bowler hat compliments your outfit perfectly. I actually almost purchased that LOFT dress - but it didn't look as good on me as it does on you!

I love this dress! How great is gingham? I just ordered a gingham dress and I am so excited for it to come in. Now only if I had some cute platforms like you. :) I love the idea of small adventures all the time. There is so much all around to be seen and explored.

Gingham is SO great, it's one of my favorite patterns along with polka dots of course!
DeleteLove the grungy vibe of it with the accessoiries, Chelsea! Agree with you on platform sandals! So comfy and perfect for short girls, like me for example! ;-))
DeleteAnd this park totally reminds me of stonehedge as well! Wow! Glad you were allowed to take pictures for sharing those with us! :)
