Matt and I bought our tickets for our big move to Scotland – flying out of the ATL Sept. 21. That gives me just over a month to 1) finish the kitchen remodel 2) get rid of, or pack away, most of my belongings and, most importantly, 3) spend time with all the people I love. So I’ve been trying to work on #3 as much as I can: see this post’s pics for confirmation.

I have a little confession to make about my short hair-cut. I don’t like it. Not how it looks or the way it was cut (lurve my stylist). I just can’t control the natural body/wave of my hair at this length. You can see in these photos that I’ve beaten it into submission with a hot iron and a hair pouf, but I hate high-maintenance hair. That said, Cath makes it look gorgeous (see below), don’t you think? She just washed it and let it air dry and it has perfect Alexa Chung waves. Shouldn’t our hair act the same? I mean we do share the same DNA and whatnot – come on, Lar hairs, make like Cath hairs and stop freaking the &^%$ out!
The above image is a close up of the fabric of my dress-worn-as-a-top. I looove the marbly paper pattern and the gold with the pops of color.
Just let me know if you are getting sick of photos of our AsianCajuns necklaces Cath got us for our birthday – I just loves them. Who knew it was so easy and painless to brand yourself.
‘Scuse these last two images, they are a bit random and for a selfish purpose. Even though I still have a month left in Atlanta, I’m already getting nostalgic for all things Southern. I want to remember summer flowers and the Georgia evening sun when I’m living by sun-lamp in cloudy ole Scotland. This first photo is from a yard in Oakhurst, a neighborhood in Decatur. The second photo is an image of my backyard, looking out of my bedroom window (cue premature nostalgic sigh).
So let the countdown begin. One more month of twinsie togetherness (cue massive and absolutely warranted sigh).
Awwww, I know that feeling of getting sentimental about something that hasn’t even happened yet, hee hee. I also recognize that restaurant patio Cath is sitting on–yum! 🙂
I can so relate to those leaving-the-country feelings, Lar! Before I went to China, I got into the strange habit of filming what I thought to be sentimental or scenic Atlanta features like graffiti on Wylie street and the birds that swarmed the tree outside my apartment window in Down Town. I also went into the rooms of my apartment and filmed the way they were decorated and the trinkets and art I loved. (I think i pictured putting hours into crafting a documentary? Ha! Yeah right). But your priorities are in order it seems like– Sister time is top of the list! And before you know it, it’ll be time to leave Scotland and you’ll be just as wistful.
btw I went to dinner with the foodies yesterday but y’all weren’t there! I hope I can meet you another time 😉
Scotland? Wow, that sounds really exciting! Good luck with everything!
Oakhurst looks beautiful, I’ve never been before. I might make a trip down there just to see. And I love your dress used as a top! I’m glad you and your sister have been spending more time together.
love the outfits and you two are just oh so cute ALL THE TIME! so one of these days you ladies need to come to houston!
Yes please! I’d love to see Houston and to meet you in person 🙂 !
Oh gosh, only a month?!
I love how you both look and your outfits! Uh we didn’t have Summer this year in UK so hoping for the miracle of an ‘Indian Summer’ timed for when you arrive.
Enjoy your time with your loved ones!
Wow. Scotland. That is a big move. Best of luck.
I always get a little gushy when my sister is heading out of town for a long time. I also hate moving and packing up because it makes me so nostalgic. Make the most of the time you have and enjoy Scotland. It sounds very exciting.
I was JUST thinking – MAN I love the wavy hair look! (Lar – dont fret – you always look wonderfulmuss!)
You two look fab as always-and I love both of ya’lls hair, no matter what you think:) enjoy the last month in the States Lar!
oh it seems like a hectic time, but how fun to move. i always feel like moving actually.
Such cute photos of you two, adore your haircuts and the outfits are very nice
xx
Aw I think you two are amazing. I can’t believe you are moving to the UK so soon! Wow, Scotland.definitely pack lots of warm clothes! I’ve actually never been to visit Scotland. I need to change this seeing as compared to you guys in the states, it’s technically kinda close to me haha. Anyway, I bet it will be really exciting blogging from two different countries and seeing what the other sister has blogged about. Sort of nice to have the blog as a kind of in between space for you guys to connect!
it’s seeing pictures like this that make me wish i had a sister.*sigh*
Aww, you both are super sweet! I’m with a lot of the bloggers who commented who are moved by your guys’ relationship with each other!
I have similar hair to yours, and went from waist to shoulder length last year, and I love it, even more now that I got bangs as well. I found that makes the side waves more manageable. Also, I have a bell-sleeved tunic and high-waisted palazzo pants made out of that exact same fabric – I thought it looked familiar, and the close up of the texture confirmed it. My grandmother bought the set on vacation in Capri in the late 60s or early 70s. I love them, just don’t wear them together, as that is a lot of multi-colored marbling for one short girl!
