Slip Dressing Gypsy Farm Feels in Are You Am I

|...Silky|

There are always the first fashion girls that blazed the blogging trail that we must pay homage to. Rumi Neely, of first Fashion Toast, and now Are You Am I, is one of those ladies. When Are You Am I first surfaced a year or so back, I instantly fell in love with the minimal aesthetic, neutral color pallet, and sexy yet subtle cuts of the dresses and basics. The brands tag line is; "For Girls That Get It", and I honestly could not agree more. It was hard to choose what I wanted, but for those of you who have followed LatelyIveBeen for a while, you know I'm a sucker for a slip dress, and that just happens to be what the brand does best. I chose the Zillah Slip Dress in Blush, & love it. I can't wait to bring it to Mexico in a few weeks! A slip dress is such a versatile item I firmly believe is worth investing in. Easy to roll up and stick in a travel bag for warm weather weekend away, or layered with a chunky knit and denim, for winter in NYC. I kept the look simple today out of the city on a farm, and just topped it off with my all time favorite pink fedora via Lack of Color.   

Peace & Love, Claire

15. Circle

She saw all the things she had been missing after a perfect weekend of simple sandy memories. It was natural, and easy. She wondered why she had held on for so long, a triangle, when she needed a circle to complete her complicated puzzle.

He picked her up under the moonlight, they kissed, and they danced in the waves. This was the time she thought. The time before something new turns into something complicated, or something complicated wants to come back and try to be new.  

Some things just fit.  Like her head in his arms, and the way nothing she said seemed to be missed. She said; love me now for a moment, for a summer, for a Sunday, in the place between reality and dreams. In a place where you look at me like this forever. In a place we decide how long forever is, how long we want our moment, this moment to last.

She sipped rosé on a balcony overlooking the ocean with someone, just someone, who wanted to take her heart. 

She realized in that moment there was so much love & so many more disappointments to be had in her beautiful world.

In French, you don't really say "I miss you."

You say, "Tu me manques." Which is closer to, "you are missing from me..."

I'm so in love with this  summers "it" accessory the Givenchy Logo Slides. I dressed up the low-key footwear with an off the shoulder dress, and topped it with the Lack of Color Spencer Boater  hat to make the sporty casual kicks wearable to a restaurant dinner on the water.

"You'll forever be the person I met too soon; when the world was still much too big & there were too many dreams in our hearts to make room for love."
