hello! it’s laura here from lolalina, and i am just pleased as punch that victoria has invited me over today.

with summer upon us i find myself daydreaming of lazy afternoons filled with simple pleasures: a frothy novel and a perfectly ripe peach under the shade of a tree, picnicking by a lake, listening to old records, making sun tea, sitting on the porch with friends until the wee hours. so today i’ve decided to share some of my favorite summer inspiration with a vintage twist – enjoy!

how lovely would it be to spend an entire day like this (image via chrissie white), sprawled on blankets until the sun fades? it’s the little things that matter most…cute vintage outfits, a few best girlfriends, and a cooler full of snacks.
