weekend road trip/hello, oxford!

This one's going to be a mix of a few different things I've been up to lately.

First off, I found it. The. Perfect. Oxford shirt. In the children's section. It's a boy's school uniform shirt. It may be the best thing I've ever bought.

(worn with Lark & Wolff shorts)

Now, some travel pictures! I took a trip to Winona this weekend and snapped a few photos along the way:

lasagna at the Harbor View Cafe in Pepin.

a dying butterfly in Stockholm.

driving home through the bluffs.

And to make this post even more of a mash-up, here are some links for you to look at...

 Wanderlust.

Some amazing photos (the fifth one down left me a little, well, breathless).

Speaking of Oxford, is anyone else excited for this? Anyone?

There's nothing quite so perfect as an Oxford shirt. Spare, simple, and easy to wear, it works no matter your age, gender, or body type. And, perhaps more importantly, it's super-fun to buy one in every color and then throw them all over your bedroom floor (see above).

I've been on the hunt for one to call my own, and pretty much died when I found this version from La Garconne (whose selection of clothes is actually my version of heaven...but more about that later):

 

(Easy Shirt by Boy by Band of Outsiders) It's so crisp, I can't hardly stand it.

This Cropped Sleeve Shirt (again by Boy by Band of Outsiders) is also a contender...a bit more feminine, but still classic. Also, it's five dollars less (maybe because there's less sleeve?).
