I think I'd enjoy living on the water...like in a houseboat, but only for about a year. It wouldn't be on the ocean (or Puget Sound as pictured below). Instead, I would live on a river. Then, if I ever had to escape the long arm of the law, I would pull up my anchor and let the current tow me away...
“I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky; and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.” -John Masefield

Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
Wow! This is such a sophisticated look, I really love the subtle color palette. And the scenery is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI was actually *just* having a conversation with my boyfriend over how nice it would be to live in a boat over the summer. Then we realized that neither of us know how to even drive a boat. Ha!
ReplyDeleteYou're looking adorable as always.
Happy New Year!
xoxoxo
I love your jacket!

ReplyDeleteyour dad has great taste!!
What a beautiful idea... (apart from the mosquitos maybe). And the perfect outfit to it. The bag is elegant and roomy. Sabine x
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jennine--this is a really sophisticated look, but I love it on you. It's been wonderful to see your style evolve and grow, but still remain you.
ReplyDelete(That shot with the water moving is brilliant.)

ReplyDeleteWonderful outfit as usual! I like the scenery....bit different form your usual,which is nice ^^ Thank you for commenting on my blog! I thought "an education" was quite predictable too,the whole time I was like "something must go wrong at the end" and obviously it did.I loved the costumes too.

That's seriously kind of creepy. My grandma JUST read that poem to me for the first time this morning then I come to your blog and you quote it. xD
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do the same only the waves give me a stomach ache. The idea is lovely though. As is your outfit, as usual. :)
Hey i love reading your blog so i've chosen you as 1 of 7 blogs to be tagged. Just go onto my blog and the posting called "7 THINGS" will have your own link as well as all of the details. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit! Almost all black never looked better! I've always wanted to live by water too, maybe a beach house or like you said, a houseboat on the river.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.weardrobe.com/weardrobe100
ReplyDeletei found you here ;-)
this is such a lovely outfit! you look great in black, i am attempting to wear more black these days!
ReplyDeletei love your pictures!!! i wish it was summer here already so i can go around and take nice pictures too! the temperatures are just making it hard for me to stay outdoors for a long time!
ReplyDeleteI want that baaaag!
ReplyDeleteI wish I didn't get so sea-sick, because I must agree that a houseboat sounds fun. sigh.
I'd love to live by the sea. I can imagine it being such a peaceful, simple life. I think I'm looking at it through rose tinted glasses, however! :)
ReplyDeletethose tights are my fave! youre always surrounded by such beautiful scenery :)
ReplyDeleteThese are really beautiful photos. Love the shoes, I want them myself actually;) And the scarf is very nice, I always like things that I've got as gifts from people I love:)

ReplyDeleteI wish I could have that beautiful landscapes! They are so wonderful:)
Beautiful Idea!

Such gorgeous photos! Love the outfit, and your dad's present is so sweet! Gorgeous bag too! ;)
ReplyDeletexx
you wear an awful lot more black than you used to, not that that's a bad thing at all, you look so pulled elegant and polished, especially in this outfit xxx
ReplyDeleteyou look like a sailor's wife waiting for her long-lost love to return! a modern-day penelope. i'd love to live on a house-boat too - it's one of my ultimate fantasies!
ReplyDeleteThe jacket, tights & bag are beautiful! Everything suits you very well :)
ReplyDeleteThose patent shoes... to die for! I love them paired with those tights, it's darling in black.
ReplyDeletelove your outfit, i'm insanely jealous of that bag and your tights especially. i don't think i could ever live on the water but the idea of an adventure anytime sure is nice.
ReplyDeleteLiving on a boat would give you the perfect opportunity to pull out all of the nautical inspired clothing.
ReplyDeleteI love your bag and the color on it, its soo pretty.

best.tights.ever.
ReplyDeleteLove this post. I like the idea of living on a river. You should read 'Fevre Dream' if you ever get a chance. It's a legit vampire novel about boating on the mississippi.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, love those tights, and mad props to your daddy for the scarf.
You live in such a pretty part of the world.
those tights are amazing. I spent a spring break on a boat once. It was wonderful
ReplyDeletethis is amazing. you look so good! i love those tights and basically everything going on in this picture. pippy long stocking once lived on a boat. shes my favorite. :)
ReplyDeletei love your scarf. it's so cozy and elegant.

love your shoes
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to live on a houseboat too, maybe one day....
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, live in a river would be aweome. Much better than live in the ocean, more quiet I think. here in chile, in the south are a lot of people who lives in the water, they built their houses on stick in the seashore.
ReplyDeletei want your tights!
ReplyDeleteyour tights are exquisite
ReplyDeleteI like that this home would have a contingency plan come hard times! hehe.
ReplyDeletei love that gif image
ReplyDeletei love your hair worn up! you look so happy, too. i spent a few days on a boat and decided i really want to decorate one and sail around with my boy & my cat. you'd be surprised how nimble cats are on water vessels!
ReplyDeleteps. this post reminds me of the smog son bathysphere...one of my favorites
I love how your hair looks in this post!
ReplyDeletei love everything in your outfit. especially your shoes and jacket!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty outfit, Rebecca! I visited this little town in China once where some of the houses floated on the water and I remember thinking that if I ever learned to swim, I'd like to live in one!
ReplyDeletelove love love your outfit! hope you didn't get it wet during this shoot!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I love how you always included the animated GIF, so cute!
ReplyDeleteI must say, I can never have enough of your blog.. ^_^

What an adorable outfit :) Love the moving water shot too- how clever :)
ReplyDeleteoh wow another gorgeous outfit from you. and beautiful photos as usual! i esp like the jacket and the scarf given by your father. the moving water with a picture of your flowery tights and lace up is really cute :)

i'd love to be by the water too...either by Lake Michigan or in Hawaii. all black! that's something new, but i'm digging the outfit!
ReplyDeletegorgeous photos!! i love the whole look :)
ReplyDeletenatalieoffduty.blogspot.com
I'm really digging the military/drummer inspired coats going on out there right now.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how incredible your sceneries are. I'd totally do the houseboat thing, but I think I'd like to cruise the coastlines and just check out foreign cultures.
the pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteim loving the bag
great jacket!
ReplyDeleteHow romantic, yes there is something about being near the water. Great outfit and amazing pictures.
ReplyDeletethe scarf is exquisite,the color and volume is just gorgeous. Love the high bun too, the whole look is very polished with a gypsy flair.

If you want to live on a houseboat on a river, you should come to the Netherlands. I actually know a student from my school who lives on a houseboat. From what I know, it's pretty cool :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that bag. I need one just like that, but I am too picky when it comes to bags, there are just too many styles I don't like and I am not a bagperson in general.
i remember wanting to live in a boat for a while when i was a kid! there's something so freeing about being able to just move whenever you wanted and not be tied down to one place (: i love your jacket, tights and shoes! you look great as always!
ReplyDeleteYou look like a beautiful fairy! just perfect.
ReplyDeletebeautiful look

I love the photos. How did you remove the picture borders?
ReplyDeleteThis is a particularly cute outfit, and a lovely backdrop.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always taken at such beautiful locations!
ReplyDeleteYou make life by the water sound so great you're even persuading me! Your outfit goes great with the beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteDear, you always have some of the most gorgeous outfits, as well as, gorgeous backdrops! I especially love your bag, the color, the size, and everything, it's just so lovely!
ReplyDeleteHope you are well! ♥

My boyfriend bought a small house boat 2 years ago for just that reason. I was SO excited. He sold it within 2 weeks because he was too seasick to sleep on it. :( He crushed my summer dreams.
ReplyDeletelovely photos, and i love your jacket :) beautiful...
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! Just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get that adorable bag? I love it!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots! That jacket is wonderful--I want one! :)
ReplyDeletei love the black military jacket from h&m. this is an awesome outfit. well done!
ReplyDeleteliving in seattle, its surprising the number of people i know who live on boats (some on legit house boats, others on actual boats). i guess water does surround the city, and in some cases its much cheaper to live on the water instead of the land. i fantasize about it too.
ReplyDeletei love how you matched the gold hues of the scarf with the gold accents in your outfit. i like to do this with all black outfits at well.
and just why might a nice girl like you need, to escape from the law??? hehehe makes me very curious ;D
ReplyDeletelove the outfit! and your gif. i've decided to dub you "the gif master" (picture that being said in an echo-y, athoritative voice)
Love your scarf!
ReplyDeleteI love the gif with the rippling water :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI could totally see myself in this outfi. !what a gorgeous scarf!
ReplyDeleteBy the by, I've got that H&M cropped jacket too ;)
adorable. love everything, especially your hair. :)
ReplyDeletekat
What a lovely post! I love your jacket.
ReplyDeleteWoW ! you look so stunning and i agree with you- id like a houseboat too-- in a river. or almost by land.. feels like such an nice thing to do.
ReplyDeletewish you an great week darling.take care
xx ediot
You have a wonderful father for giving you such a pretty scarf! Your pictures are always so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLiving by the water has so many different moods. It's lovely to look out across the sea (or the Sound) on a grey winter's day, and despite the open space, you feel incredibly close to you own thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI love houseboats!! Whenever I get to go to a harbor that has houseboats, I always gravitate towards them because they're just so... magical! It's the perfect little hobby home with lots of room for randomness and creativity! *sigh :)
ReplyDeleteYour outdoor shots, angles, colors, outfits and words have such an amazing presence. You blog is immaculately designed and your voice is so uniquely your own. Lovely lovely lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is so perfect in every way! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI always dream of living on a boat too... it would be so peaceful!

youre such a sight! i love looking at your blog a few days at a time, so that i can get a few burst of excitement at one go! :) but it is kinda hard to resist checking you up everyday.
ReplyDeleteCurious: what crime will you be committing? :)
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable :)
Not only do I love the outfit (esp your jacket and shoes), as well as the beautiful setting in these photos, I'm also loving the John Masefield quote!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to live in a houseboat for a while. Not forever... But at least a vacation! The phrase "long arm of the law" needs to be used much more frequently. Love this outfit and the scenery. I can't wait to visit the Northwest.
ReplyDeletei'd quite like to live on a little canal boat in england. i think i watched too much rosie & jim when i was little though.
ReplyDeleteI like the jacket!
ReplyDeleteUm. Hi. Second to last picture is so trippy and fantastic.
ReplyDeletePlus..awesome scarf.
