I love these posts – because I’m pretty sure most of my blog readers do not also follow me on instagram so the content is totally fresh for most of you – but I am not the best at getting them up regularly.  Probably because I tend to forget about instagram for weeks at a time.  I do love it though.

The hood is lined with lace.  <– squee!
