It's summer. The heat is somewhat unbearable, and more often than not, I find myself seeking refuge under trees, in shade, in bedrooms. Sweet lemonade is my morning companion, and ice is my best friend.
I don't mind spending time alone; in fact, I think it's quite healthy. Still, I do not know anyone in Alabama and I'm not the most outgoing gal out there. My car is finally here, so perhaps I'll drive to an art showing, sip iced coffee in a cafe, accompany my ghost to an afternoon ice cream cone. Lately, I feel as though I've only existed online and like.. the real Amber has disintegrated, or rather evaporated like the last drops of dew on the crisp grass, belonging only to the sun.. now wouldn't that be something..
Outfit Details: dress: Target // Shoes: Payless! // Hair: worn up (shocking!)
Until another day, my lovelies..

I don't know how to explain it but this post is just beautiful...the words...the pictures...and yes that last picture of you is BREATHTAKING!!! If i was you i would print that out is seriously gorgeous!!!! Ah you got me dreaming of one day living somewhere nice and quite away from nyc....taking shade in trees sipping lemonade in hot sticky weather....God how I love summer and nature. Time to yourself is one of the most reflective and deliverating moments...I wish I had appreciated more because now I dont seem to have the time...cant wait till I have those moments again....
That color looks so pretty on you.
Do birds sing and flowers bloom when you walk by?
This is beautiful <3
You have such a way with words, my dear. Your ability to describe things makes me feel as though I'm right there.
Those pictures of you are stunning.

You look absolutely stunning. I adore the color that dress. And you have such a way with words, it's incredible.
You are so pretty, Amber. ♥

i'm in love with your words! seriously. and you look darling as always.
I connected with this post so much as I feel like I'm in a similar spot. After returning from Australia to go home, I feel lost in my own home. I have no friends that I connect with and I live an hour away from my bf. You said it well when you said you only exist online, it is sad isn't it? Thanks for this post dearie, I feel like I'm not alone!
Beatifully written post, I really know how you feel. I too am not extremely outgoing, and do like to spend some time alone, but then as you say other times I do feel like I exist just online.
Great pics, so lovely!

Aw lovely pictures, I almost find myself wanting summer with the thought of lemonade and sitting under trees.

You inspire me to close down this damn computer and go to the park. I don't want the real me to disintegrate! That's a lovely, lovely colour on you, by the way. Have some iced tea for both us, please!
I am a sitting under trees kinda girl too :) time alone is good but I would happily be your friend and happily share my closet with you :)
Love, Vanilla

What a beautiful dress! I've been looking for a cute green dress for ages! x
Cute photos !
I'm only new to your blog Amber, so forgive me if there's a backstory that I've missed, but when you say "my ghost", are you talking about a real ghost, or are you being poetic? Because, if it's a real ghost, then I soooo want to hear that story!!
I love this post. Your dress is gorgeous, your hair is lovely, and you are beautiful. And your words are so inspiring and true...gosh, I wish I lived in Alabama and then we could hang out and drink iced coffee together. :) ♥
Thanks for the sweet {anonymous, hahaha} comments on my blog! They make my day. :)

Oh, you really are such a sweet little thing you know that? I too have been spending much of my time alone, creating worlds and things. But I have a vacation from work very soon and plan on visiting old book shoppes and art galleries, afternoon cafes and all of those sorts. I will think of you and wish you were there my lovely.
xx and hugs

What a beautiful post.

your breathtaking dear, you are truly inspiring
whimsical!
Beautiful post, beautiful writing, beautiful look despite the heat!!! I lived in Savannah for a year so I know all about that tropical summer heat that is anything but "a day in the country" even if you're living in it ;- Congratulations on having wheels!
i am still so much in love with the way you write. i am in love with your outfit and your gorgeous hair in these pictures. i wish you luck while going out adventuring through town. it's always good to get away from the mundane, everyday routine. doing something spontaneous like going some place you've never been might surprise you in the fact that you might run into someone you never would have. be it a new friend or a companion. i love to explore. and i hope that you tell us all about it!!
happy sunday!

I would be so lost without lemonade in the summer. I don't think I would drink anything but water. And that would be a sad day.

amber you are too pretty! I hope you feel better soon, i'm not the most outgoing person either so i know how you feel. chin up lovely, everything will turn around :) xxx
You write so beautifully, I love reading your posts <3 I am super shy so I understand how you feel xxx
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time of it, deary. *hugs* I love you, and will be praying for you! <3
The dress, the hair, the lighting, everything about this post is just lovely!!!

I think it's incredible that you managed to find a dress that perfectly matches the color of your eyes. How beautiful.
You know what? I've often thought of summer as a lonely season because I'm an only child and I've never had the ability to just see my friends whenever I wanted, because I've never lived close to them. So I kind of understand where you're coming from. I hope you start feeling more like you fit very soon. Once you meet someone, they're sure to love you.
That sage green dress is such a perfect shade on you, and I adore the dreamy vibe of your photos. I imagine it must be very hot in Alabama right now, but lemonade sounds like the perfect way to refresh and cool down. xx
i have just moved back home again after uni and don't really have any friends here any more ~ most people have moved away. I am joining a creative writing group and a few craft groups though in the hope of being a bit sociable! i love spending time alone but also love meeting new people.
i agree that sometimes it's a struggle finding the right balance: blogging helps me rediscover myself, but too much internet time can cause the 'real' you to disappear too.
*hugs*

have you just moved there? i'm sure you'll settle in soon! these pics are just lovely! xx
I'm sure you will make friends quickly. You look lovely in these photos, and I really like the lighting.
Wishing you all the best! You look beautiful :)
You've got such a beautiful way with words Amber Rose. Love this post. Change and new places can be a tad difficult. I speak from first hand experience. Perhaps doing a bit of volunteering or joining an arts group may help? Hope you're able to settle in soon dear.
Love your photos and the green of the dress against the grass and trees.
I love how ethereal these pictures are and you look lovely in your dress. Moving to a new place always takes some getting used to...I'm sure you'll meet people soon :)
These photos are so dreamy, just like your words. You are looking so teeny tiny, lady! And I love your dress.
Also, would you believe I haven't had one glass of lemonade yet this summer? I know, for shame.
That little green dress looks so lovely on you! I really like your hair up. :)
i actually thought you'd quoted a novel, that was stunning
Aw you poor thing. I love being alone - but it gets to a point it just isn't fun anymore. You should definately go out to a show! Or a movie - you won't regret it.
I am also sending some aussie winter your way to cool down :) swwisshhhhh (that's the best winter sounding send I could come up with!)
oh my lord, that color is GORGEOUS with your hair and skin!
Oh dear, how I understand you on the heat! You look wonderful in that dress and the pictures are so lovely.
I LOVE YOUR HAIR. I had to use all caps. But seriously?? Amazing. xo
Gorgeous dress and I absolutely love your blog. You have a way with words, so poetic and beautiful. I'm totally following!!

You look absolutely heavenly. Really. It's charming and heavenly at the same time. In short, perfection. xx
I know you probably (no, definitely) get this all the time, but you are absolutely beautiful and such an inspiration. :)
You look so lovely as always but so summery and sweet.
you look like a fairy in this post ♥
dreamy , love it.
Like i say i wish we live in the same city , i would love to spend the day with you :) haha now i sound like a creep.
How beautiful you are.
Your hair is beautiful up, why don't you wear it more often?
