OOTD's of Summer

Quick update before I start my first OOTD post. I am officially moved in and pretty settled. I've spent the past couple of days catching up with friends, struggling with a drying rack and relaxing alone. 

Here is my first outfit of the day post! I bought these two from L. Mae Boutique  and I love them! The dress I wore almost every week for work a couple different ways. The shirt has two of my favorite things purple & chevron!

Here are two of my OOTD's. Of course pearls are included in every outfit. 

Jean Jacket// Necklace// Sandals// Dress// Watch//

Shirt// Jeans// Sandals// Bracelet (Made by a friend)// Necklace (Old)

How did you like my first OOTD? a good idea or no? Be honest!

Summer Vacation!

Whew! It's time for my summer vacation already. I wish I had time to post about what I'm packing, but to be honest I'm grabbing every casual piece of clothing I own and going!

I will be traveling to and from Oregon until next Sunday!

Yay for a 4:00 am departure time

I have never been to the West Coast before, but I am excited to see a part of the country I haven't before. I love to travel, and my wanderlust has gotten to best of me lately! 

6 days off from work will be nice, but being in a car for 30 hours doesn't seem that fun though!

Stay tuned for guest posts from some amazing bloggers!

 

Any readers from the West Coast? Tips on where to eat etc?

Where are you traveling to this summer? 

Purple and Pearls Goes to Europe: Part 3

Finally I am going to post pictures from Germany! Sorry for the delay!

The Krupp Mansion in Essen, Germany.

MB and I in front of the Haribo outlet, this was one of my favorite places!

The castle that we go to explore along the Rhine river!

What we Americans expect Germany to look like, one of the few places in Essen that wasn't destroyed in bombings during World War II.

 

A castle along the Rhine that was under renovation, I couldn't even begin to count the castles we saw!

Here ends my Europe series! Is there anything else that y'all would like to see or know about? 

Have a wonderful weekend 

xoxo
