Swoon!

To quote the King: "Like a river flows surely to the sea, darling so it goes, some things are meant to be. Take my hand, take my whole life too, for I can't help falling in love with you."

*And yes, I'm talking about the dress!

So in Love

Happy February! I love February mainly because spring is right around the corner and of course, because of Valentines Day! I just love love and I love that there's a day devoted to love. I seriously fall in love on a daily basis. I fall so easily. I fall in love with coy smiles and beautiful minds, flouncy dresses and delicate flavors, all shades of blue and green, gentlemanly acts and shiny winged insects, sunlight on pale skin and the perfume of fresh lavender, cold blood oranges, cat-eye glasses and many more lovely love-worthy things. What things make you fall in love? I'd love to hear about it!

Right now, I'm head over heels for these:

I'm dreaming of spring picnics with Sofia wearing this "Dreaming of Blue" dress.

Sweet and bubbly imported drinks from Belvoir Fruit Farms. I'm totally obsessed! The Elderflower drink is my favorite but the little British Import shop I get them from is out right now.

Color samples from my watercolor class this semester. 

These heavenly vegan friendly lemon cookies!

The sweet tiny blossoms on my African Violet make me swoon.

In This Belly of a Whale

I'm thinking of getting this dress, which makes me think of The Mariner's Revenge Song (which happens to be the inspiration for my next art project) by one of my all time favorite bands, The Decemberists, who I happen to be seeing live this February 13th, when I might be wearing this dress, possibly with linen and curls and lips parting like a flag all unfurled.

A Dress to Want

I wish I could say I need this dress from Anthro. But I don't need it, I just want it. I want it desperately. Perhaps on payday I will just try it on and see how it fits, with no intention of course of actually spending almost $250 on a dress with no special place to wear it to. We shall see...
