newport, rhode island - you are so glam

 at one point someone mentioned that rhode island had great mansions which triggered my memory of being told about them in my interior design class which made me obsessed with going and seeing them. john was real kind to go along with my sudden urge to drive down to newport for this experience and it was just so nice! we walked all along the cliff walk and just enjoyed the beautiful coast, mansions, and graffiti'ed signs that at the time seemed so funny to us. 

so in the case that you don't think you will ever hit up newport, it looks a little like this:


how much do we love that tunnel?!

good rocks for self-timing

sometimes i felt like i was in hawaii which is ironic since i've never been there

(just creepin some wedding ceremony prep from the back)

crappy photo through the fence of the rosecliff mansion

 the sign haha

they, whomever they may be, just drew a different picture on every caution sign. it kept everyone (us) entertained. 

even the fences were the prettiest!


 this photo above would be the breakers mansion. i had never heard of it before but apparently it is a big deal? it was a sunday so we just walked around but next time i go i will definitely pay to go inside of those bad boys because i hear they are AWESOME. 

so many good pink flowers


hey atlantic ocean


 maybe i had to go to the bathroom so it was difficult to do the whole pose thing 

 why am i five? i just laughed and laughed at this.
(which i shouldn't because vandalism is bad)


forty steps that make you feel like you are walking to a fortress 




don't even know if these pictures do the place justice but i think you get the idea
..it is pretty.



 and then if the cliff walk wasn't dreamy enough the little neighborhood surrounding it was just the loveliest!

and so green. and well-kept.

gimme this backyard

and this forest mansion!

aaaand that is all the pictures i have to show to you.
so what i'm trying to say with all of this is just go to newport! and then tell me when you go so i can come with you. okay? okay.
