I wish this were Catalan summer instead, but the weather is being a bit crazy around here for June. The perpetual raincloud that follows me around because it knows I was raised in Vancouver and have therefore seen enough rain to last a lifetime has caught up to me. But this was a beautiful day!
After sighing in this post that all I wanted this summer were simple dresses and that I didn't have any, I immediately realized that I have all sorts of simple dresses. Such as this pretty little number that has been languishing all winter in my closet waiting for the blossoms. It's amazing how easy it is to forget what we have, dazzled by the ever expanding number of things we could have and want. I think I'll be living in this and my other simple dresses this summer. At least, I will if the forecasted clouds and thunder storms take a hike!

que bonitooooooo.
ReplyDeleteDress and flowers in the same color. :)
This weather in june isn't normal. In a few days.... shiny 40 degrees!!!
Aww you have a basket!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd it has gingham lining (?) <3
That is one nice simple dress. I guess I have some too, nude and white, although I'm looking for simple yellow dresses ;)
It is actually very warm in London right now, last week's crappy weather is gone and sunshine arrived yay! Just in time for me to leave -.- I'll try and enjoy it tomorrow though.
@Xavi: I hope so, but the weather forecast says no....
ReplyDelete@Raquel: It's not really my basket, I just found it in the flat. And that's a gingham blouse inside, hehe.
It's nice to be able to enjoy the weather after non stop rains. Your dress is so pretty, very feminine and minimal. This reminds me.... I have a small bag of 50s simple day dresses I need to get dry cleaned....
ReplyDeleteAww, these photos are gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteThat dress is sooo pretty, I love it! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd those purple flowers are awesome :)

What perfect color-coordination between your dress and the flowers! Very pretty pictures.
ReplyDelete:O Sweetest outfit ever! Especially adore the basket! x
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how we forget what we have in our own closet. With all this wedding stuff. I have had to really get serious about saving and I think one thing that really helps is to actually write up an inventory of all the dresses you have with a description. Kind of Type A but you won't leave anything out. You look so lovely in pink. Happy Weekend and sunny days ahead.
ReplyDeleteThis pictures are stunning! Awesome dress too!!!

These are such beautiful photos, what lovely flowers. Also good find on the basket. I always think found objects and also very good bargains, seem extra special compared to things that cost full price.
ReplyDeletewhenever the weather gets hot I feel like such a bad styleblogger, because all I want to wear is simple little dresses. But I love seeing other people in them and don't think it's boring so FEH!
ReplyDeletethat basket is very unique with the long handle :D
Lovely pictures! Love the flowers!

thats a really cute dress. I love finished pieces in my closet that I have forgotten about. Thats always a happy surprise
ReplyDeleteThese are really pretty pictures, Emily! And pink is such a nice color on you. My mom is always after me to wear pink and nearly everything she gifts me is pink in some capacity.
ReplyDeleteI have been rediscovering a lot of things lately that I've forgotten about. It's prompted me to do another closet purge and really decide what's a keeper and what isn't.
beautiful dress! and i think you're right; we definitely get caught up in what we don't have rather than with what we do...:)
ReplyDeleteyou're a doll! happy friday!

I totally agree. It's a wonderful thing to realize how much you actually have, and focus on that rather than all the things you want. That dress is simply adorable! I love the pale pink color and, of course those beautiful purple flowers in the background :)
ReplyDeleteoh you look absolutely darling. and thanks for the positive message.
ReplyDeleteSo girlie and fresh! You look lovely in pink and it really pops against the purple! Great styling and photographic composition!

What gorgeous flowers. The basket and the simple dress give this a "little pink riding hood" vibe.
ReplyDeleteLovely dress (and super lovely boganvillia!) What a great colour combo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your advice re:cameras. I think I want to dslr for all the other stuff it can do too... but the size and weight area pretty serious draw back. It is nice to know I might be able to find a compact that can do some of that too. :)
What a gorgeous outfit! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd wow those flowers look amazing too!
xoxo
