It's been proper summer weather here lately (i.e.,
hot)
. Most days I just want to sit in the pool and drape my sweaty frame in front of the air conditioner vent, but sometimes I muster up the courage to brave the heat and go out to further explore the town. One of my favorite things about this pretty city of mine is the rich history, despite it only being just over a hundred years old. Case in point: I had the chance to go inside a B-17 bomber from World War II last week. The nineteen forties/World War II have intrigued me for as long as I can remember (which is probably explains why Captain America is a favorite movie of mine...in addition to the whole Chris Evans part, that is) and when I stepped onto that plane, I felt transported back in time. And dressed in my
pretty lacy tank, courtesy of the lovely folks at
Sugarlips, the heat wasn't so bad either. Definitely two things to be happy about!
Adding to my
happy list...
the smell and feel of sheets dried in the sun || the color white, the warm kind that changes color in the light || little sisters that snuggle in your bed early in the morning || the moment during a summer night when it switches from hot to mercifully cool || pulling weeds out by the roots || the feeling when your sun-warmed skin slips into the pool || the 1940s and history in general ||
What are some things on your happy list?
Oh my word. Girrrllllll, you should be a model!! Rockin that blazer!!
ReplyDeletexx.
i must. have. that blazer.
ReplyDeletealso: world war ii history has always been a thing of mine! i was die-hard in love with their fashion.
also: chris evans. swoon. :)
I love your outfit, Carlotta!
ReplyDeleteWWII has always really fascinated me too, especially family histories.
ReplyDeleteand I love your outfit. That top is gorgeous!
oh so lovely, everything about this actually :) I'd love to go inside that bomber, and also maybe steal your lace tank. (just so you know, the link is attached to blogger.com...you might want to change that.)
ReplyDeletexo.
lovely. I had the chance to go to an air show just filled with WWI/II history now long ago and simply loved it. (see here: http://godlygirlz.blogspot.com/2012/06/some-particularly-spectacular-days-of.html). and I love that top. so feminine and breezy!
ReplyDeleteoh, love the happy things. I'm super happy about tomorrow, because I get to see some friends I haven't seen in a while and it's the 4th of July. fireworks are of my weaknesses :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you share my love for Captain America/Chris Evans. The historical aspect is one of my favorite things, too. I think most of the books I read are historical fiction -- that's definitely my favorite genre. It's so neat that you got to see those airplanes!
ReplyDeleteAdorable outfit, Carlotta! I especially love the blazer. My happy list? Making plans for second shooting some weddings (meeting up with a photog today! Eeep!), going to see fireworks out on the lake tonight, going to see The X Factor with some friends in a few days, preparing for helping out at our church's VBS, and oh so much more.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!
p.s. I was browsing through some of your older posts from 2010 and came across this one: http://www.pastorsgirlsponderings.com/2010/06/my-baby.html
Look how far you have come! :)
My grandfather flew a B-25 plane in WWII and my grandmother was a flight nurse - they met in Sicily then were shortly after got married on the Isle of Capri :) I remember some of the stories she used to tell... what a time. On another note, Captain America? swoon. I adore your blazer, too! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love these photos (both of the outfit and B-17)! Your photography has really inspired me.

that outfit? SO cute. just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteLove that outfit!
ReplyDeleteAhh, I agree, the feeling of sun-kissed skin slipping into a pool just can't be beat... :)
I love your top from Sugarlips -- aren't they amazing?
ReplyDeleteAlso, WWII is one of my favorite historical timelines to learn about. If you like historical fiction from the 40s-50s, you should check out The Zion Covenant series by Brock and Brodie Thoene. They're spectacular books -- I honestly can't praise them highly enough. :)
beauuuutiful!
ReplyDeleteyour top is super cute :) love that first photo, too--what a fantastic list!
ReplyDeletewhy must you be so pretty? that blazer is amazing. :)
ReplyDeletelove the blazer a the photos
ReplyDeleteYou are so darling. Happy things? Those same friends that tried to "drown" you in the lake as a kid, would stick up for you no matter what.
ReplyDeletei am so jealous of your inside-a-bomber experience! i enjoy learning about the civil war mostly, but wwii is intriguing as well. plus, it's even better when you take your amazing photos.
ReplyDeleteyou are so gorgeous, girl! love the outfit.
You look gorgeous! And just reading about the pool caused me to dream of it.
ReplyDeleteJust a question, are those self portraits? I can never get a good one of myself. I love your outfit, the blazer totally dresses up the casual (and darling!) look!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your outfit and hair you are so gorgeous! The pictures of the plane are so awesome! I love all the things you listed about summer...even the harsh weather is something to be happy about! :D
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit! So pretty and perfect for a Summer evening.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me happy lately? Finally having AC in this house... I've lived my whole life without it, but now that it is so HOT here in WI these past few days, my parents finally bought a window air conditioner. :) haha
You are amazingly beautiful, Carlotta. Don't you ever forget that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, long live history lovers! I didn't love learning about WWII because it was so sad, but it is definitely intriguing. I really loved learning about the American Civil War, though. :)

adorable!
