evening sunlight

I'm a creature of habit. I get comfortable doing something and then have a hard time breaking free from that. Taking photos in a certain kind of lighting is one of those things. I have set in stone preference for natural lighting but in the shade, never in full sun.

Earlier this week I shared a photo of my little table in the corner of my office that is just filled with succulents. (found in this post) It's easily my favorite corner in the room, especially in the evening because the way the sun shines onto all my plants is just magical. So magical I decided to shoot in different lighting than I'm comfortable with. I took the first photo and was just smitten, I had to take more. I feel like these photos feel so cozy despite the fact some of them are of some not so cuddly cacti. Evening light sure makes for pretty pictures...

I think this two tiered coffee table would make an excellent plant stand.

 I've been really into those glass planters that are oh so popular right now but didn't know how I'd hang one. This one is so great. I can think of so many places to put it!

This has to be one of the most beautiful plants I have ever seen. I have to get one for myself.

I bought this dress the same day it was listed on Modcloth, I had to! I don't have anything else in the same color, and I wouldn't mind if my whole closet was polka dots (and stripes!) It fits perfectly but oh my goodness, the lining in this dress is so loud. It's kind of like wearing a plastic bag. Luckily I got used to it quickly and it's not too bad in public as long as you're not somewhere quiet. I wouldn't want to wear it to somewhere where I would need to sneak around. Haha! Any how, I love matching my hair to my outfit so the dress gets some bonus points for that. I feel kind like a real life Saria (from Zelda. Hello?!) wearing a green dress with my green hair. I can totally get into that, she's one of my all time video game characters.

It looks like it's going to be another nice day outside, I think a bike ride is in order. Hope you have a lovely Thursday.xoxo
