golden hour
















Top: Express via sale; Shorts: Thrifted Jordache w. DIY dip dye; Sandals: Dolce Vita, $30 

Sometimes California is so beautiful, it literally takes my breath away. I would do anything to put the brakes on summer, and let it be these glorious last weeks of August for a very, very long time.
