It actually didn't turn stormy this particular day, though it made threatening wind-in-the-trees noises often enough that I was sure it was going to pour down. A simple holiday Monday: another bike ride, a coffee in a very strange place where apparently you had to be middle aged and rich; we looked like aliens. Some photos by the river, and then we glanced again at the dark skies and shot home again, me riding with one hand and trying to keep my hat on with the other!

Aaahhh, these are my favorite pictures of yours EVER! They're so picturesque and pretty, they look like they're out of a dreamy film. I love the boats on your dress, your frilly ankle socks, your classic shoes, your fun nails, and your lovely hat. This whole post is just wonderful! :)

P.S. And to answer your question about the books tied together with a belt, yes, it did stay together really well. It would have been a bit more stable if I used books that were all the same size, but it still worked well and was really cute. :)
So cute! You look like that cartoon girl Madeline, so adorable!

Great outfit, perfect setting.
And, again, you intrigue me with your unexpected mix of youth and maturity, innocence and sophistication. I don't know how you manage to pull this off, but you do. Maybe it's the socks... :)
@Closet Fashionista: because the clouds become a natural light diffuser
Such a lovely outfit and setting. That hat is adorable & I love love your tote!
The boat dress somehow seems v fitting in that weather! Ooh I have awards for you! :)
This post coincides with a military friend posting on facebook about how much it's raining in germany. ha.

Mmk, it's official. You have the cutest clothes ever. And I love your hat. I love hats like that. I've decided I'm going to buy at least twelve of them before summer is over.
what a dreamy outfit! ah your little cloche hat makes me melt. i've wanted one for so long, but, alas, i reeeally don't have a head for hats.
ps. no, martin is back in across the ocean in his native boston. battling heartache.
Such a cute outfit :)
Oh gosh, how adorable are those sailboats? Love, love this look!
Gorgeous! Love how you layered the dress over the top.
Beautiful pics once again! Love your nails as well.

my goodness I adore everything about this outfit from the hat to the shoes to the ridiculously cute socks. this look is perfectly put together.
oh wow these pictures are so so stunning! Loving your nautical inspired look, I can never resist a boat print. Beautiful :)
@A Closet Fashionista & Albert: Yeah, but I also had to really lighten the curves in some of these pictures to get my face bright enough.
What a wonderful tote!
oh I love this outfit. And that close up of you is just too cute! You're a total babe ; )
You remind me of Rebecca from The Clothes Horse in these photos! I hope you take that as a compliment! I love your dress and your hat, and well basically everything about your outfit is adorable!

You look so cute! That little dress is just darling - the little sailboats are so bright and cheerful! I love that tote bag, as well. A perfect outfit for a day by the water!
The pattern on your dress is sublime! I would love an article of clothing with sail boats on it:)

That dress gets more amazing every time I see it. And I quite like colorful nail polish :)
I also feel compelled to tell you how much I like the second photo! The composition and movement have a really nice flow. There you are, the slightly off-center focal point, lookin' all prettylike and then the eye sweeps along the riverbank to the cloudy blue-hued mountains in the background. How lucky you are to have an Albert that captures such scenes! :)
I adore this boat dress and how savvy you were to get on ebay and find it. I like how you restyled it this time around...that hat is sweet. The clouds look amazing in these photos. I'm back from my blog hiatus and playing catch up. Your new bike is amazing and that yellow dress is just superb. Your non dressy post is classic and comfy. Here's a link to my non dressy work wear since
I work with young children I always wear pants...http://www.tipatipa.net/2011/05/hodge-podge.html

These pictures turned out amazing Emily, congrats to Albert! And you too of course.
I still love that dress, And you wearing your hat makes me question myself on why the heck did I left my two hats in London, while it's obvious they'd be much more useful here. -.-
this is such a good outfit, and your hat is great, even if you are pulling a "blogger" hat pose to keep it on ;)
Love the summer-layering...and that tote!! its so cool!

Sorry to turn up on your blog and comment everywhere, but I've just stumbled across it and you seriously have the looks/hair of a twenties movie star. Lucky girl!
Ha! No problem! The general look... maybe. The hair...I wish! I actually want to cut it in a 20s-esque style, but know that it will spend most of its time looking stupid so...
You look so pretty! I love the print on that dress. Seriously, could it be any cuter? And your socks are DARLING.
xoxo
