  3. Oh my goodness!! I just posted that tattoo on my blog and am now entertaining the idea of getting a dandelion!!

  4. I’m loving this post! So loving it!!! I wish I could dance too, and I love turquoise too! That tattoo you want, its design is very pretty. Haha, all that cute and lovely suits reminds me that I have to lose tonnes to look pretty in them. XD And that mural is so cute!!!!

    XD sorry for the lengthy comment though you mentioned earlier about getting break from wordiness. Just can’t resist myself from commenting.

    p/s: I’m falling in love with you blog!!! <3

  5. wow that’s nice and I really want to dance.
    I can dance anyway, but I’m sucks in ballet of course! I’m chubby and I’m not skinny! damn..
    but my daughter (someday) I’ll try to tell her about my dream and ask her to learn about ballet lol..
    nice post

    <3xo

  8. I loooooooove these! I especially love the tatoo, as an herbalist, Dandelions are one of my favorites! I also love the dancer up top and the vintage bathing suits, I have been looking for one like those… yay for pretty things!!!

  9. inspiration to go to the gym is one of my list to do fiuuuhh

  10. Portland is one of my favorite places to visit! Reminds me so much of my hometown Austin (with which I have my own love affair). Love your blog.

  11. I love the swimsuits!

    x, ash

  12. love the photos! just what i needed this morning 🙂 happy hump day to you!

    Happy Wednesday!
    xo

  14. Ooh, i wish i could dance too. All the time!

    Love the deer pic! HAHA.

    And, that tattoo is FANTASTIC. I love it.

  15. I really like the dandelion tattoo, and I love those bathing suits. I went to anthro’s website to see how much one was, and there’s no way I could justify spending $156 on a bikini! Outrageous! I guess my $12 clearance bathing suit will have to do!

    Hope you have a good hump day!

  16. I loooove that tattoo! Such pretty photos 😀

  17. I love that tat too – I want something like it but smaller and behind my ear.

  18. aww, cute pictures! Great selection.

  19. i love these pictures 🙂 sometimes we all need a break from the wordiness, so i udnerstand. i LOVE that tattoo. that is so awesome. if i were ever to get a tattoo i would want one like that too! so cool. and i wish i could dance too. when i was little all my friends danced. we couldn’t really afford it..i was able to do gymnastics for a little bit, but dance was so expensive where all my friends went. i don’t think i am coordinated enough though to pick it up now. oh well!

    i love all these pictures. i love portland and i don’t even live there 🙂

    hope you have a fantastic day lauren! thanks for being a great friend. love you lots!

  20. love these!

    that color is SOOOO pretty!

    and i want those swimsuits! adorable!

  21. What a CUTE tattoo Lauren! And love the hand-drawn Portland map!

    xx Vivian @ http://diamondsandtulle.blogspot.com

  22. I love Portland. Growing up in Seattle I would go there pretty often. Great city indeed!

  23. I love this random photo post! I wish I could dance too…or just have more flexibility and grace. That tattoo is beautiful, maybe because it is such a surprise to see a delicate picture inked on someone? The bikinis are so vintage! aaaand I love mule deer.

  24. “i wish i could dance.”
    So does the girl in the picture. What the hell is she doing? Haha.

  25. Oh my god, that tattoo is so cute 🙂 I don’t normally like tattoos either!

    And I also wish I could dance. I used to when I was about 4 till I started secondary school and gave it up. Things like So You Think You Can Dance and gorgeous pictures like that make me want to dance again!

  26. such beautiful pictures!
    love love love.

    The dandilon is pretty, but becoming popular so
    you may wanna steer clear… Tattoos are not something
    you want to have the same as everyone else 🙂
