Cherries in the Sun

The sweet things in life, to you were just loaned
So how can you lose what you've never owned?

-- George Gershwin "Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries"

NOTES

    First outdoor shoot since I came back last week, I almost dreaded it as it was swelteringly hot out in the yard and mosquitoes were out in swarms. That said, it was all done and dusted in half an hour and mercifully I did not get too many bites on me.

    I think I will be featuring a barrage of dresses this month, starting with this Romwe cherry print dress ( with the cutest cherry buttons! ).  My wardrobe is on the verge of bursting now, and in case you haven't noticed, my search for black oxfords has just ended, a total steal too by the way!  :)

Somethin' Peachy

If I had my little way I'd eat peaches everyday,
Sun soakin bulges in the shade.

-- Presidents of the USA "Peaches"

NOTES

    Remember I told you in my last post that I finally bought that Chloé fragrance? In actual fact, I got another one long before it ... on my T-shirt, haha! See, I do wear perfume, don't I?

    Regarding the outfit, no, nothing romantic today  ;)  And I'd be ever so pleased if you would pretend not to see the horrendous dark roots of my hair. I tried to colour them using bubble foam yesterday, though in my hurry to get the job done and watch TV, I did not apply them thoroughly enough and now my hair is an unfortunate mix of brown, dark brown and burnt orange strands (sob).

    Have a nice weekend, darlings! I'd be on the couch watching the London Games, as should you! Vive les Jeux Olympiques  :D

Lovely Loot

Ballet flats by STUDIO

    Well, as promised, a post of my haul. It's not much, I'm afraid, as I spent more time stuck in traffic jams than I did shopping. I did snag 3 or 4 pairs of shoes though, they're having this incredible sale and I got most of the shoes at 50%-70% markdown prices (yes, even the Forever 21 ones!).

     Oh, and I finally decided to go for the L'Eau de Chloé EDT. Perfect for summer, this scent! I'm already thinking about an outfit post with this perfume, sort of like the Nina Ricci one! Do stay tuned :)

Makeup from Topshop, can't resist the polka dots!

Ribbon heels by Martina Pink

L'Eau de Chloé and a white canework bag

    That is that, then! I hardly bought any dresses or shirts this time, time was scarce and we were always in a hurry. Besides, two parcels containing a total of four dresses were already waiting at my doorstep when I returned  :)  Bises ♥♥

I'm Back!

 

    Yes, I'm back from my little trip. I snapped up this adorable pair of Forever 21 floral flats with transparent sequins on my first day, they sparkle ever so subtly as you walk! Well, I'm off to dinner now, but more photos of my haul tomorrow! Bises ♥♥

Lavender

The colors that surround you there will be the shade of lavender.
Shadows dancing everywhere, like flowers in the rain.

-- Gordon Lightfoot "Approaching Lavender"

NOTES

    Voila! The promised outfit post ... now I can go on my trip with my conscience intact LOL  It wasn't easy taking the photos, mind ... the weather was cloudy at best, I bumped my knee against one of those columns (clumsy as per usual) and the photoshoot ended with a spectacular downpour  :(

    Dreadful luck aside, I got this Chanel lilac nail lacquer at a bargain price, and it was my main inspiration for this look. Heck, I was even wearing purple eyeshadows to match, too bad they're barely discernable in the photos  :(

New Stuff

    Here are some of my new acquisitions this month, not all of course -- the Romwe cherry print dress, beige petal shorts, some O.P.I. mini polishes, a sweet tulle hairbow and a pair of rosy brown culottes. I am still hoping to get myself a pair of shiny black oxfords for work (and perhaps white ones for weekends ;) ), fingers crossed!

    By the way, I would be going on a little trip next week, I am hoping there would be time for some serious shopping! I think I will post a new outfit this weekend (hope might be a better word ... the weekend is near, I know), and answer the comments before I embark. Wish me luck!  Bises  ♥♥

Blue and Gold

A clouded dream on an earthly night, hangs upon the crescent moon.
A voiceless song in an ageless light, sings at the coming dawn.

-- Loreena McKennitt "The Mystic's Dream"

NOTES

    I have an affinity for the combination of green and gold, but now I think blue and gold are equally lovely too. I am sure you'll agree after seeing this gorgeous necklace from Romwe and the adorable quilted clutch with a gold bow by S'Aime.

    As for the outfit, you know me, I cannot refrain from anything romantic and classical. I had to stop myself from over-accessorizing ( no headpieces, no rings! ) as the intricate etchings of the necklace made for a stunning centrepiece in itself.
