yellow & blue

*Hello! Just back from a mini-holiday and for some reason this scheduled post didn't auto-publish - so better late than never!*

 I don't know if spring fever has its hold on me but I'm so ready to wear some color! Our garden is in full bloom (as are my allergies) and as someone who grew up mostly in the desert, I am still blown away daily by the colors found in nature here in LA – particularly the trees currently blooming! Pinks, purples, yellows! Beautiful. I know I've posted some of this outfit before but I generally wear things way more than once so this is a remix of sorts!

outfit notes:
dress - xxi
shoes - vintage
necklace - gift 
bag - marc by marc jacobs 

 PS: I hope you had a nice holiday weekend!

Is it really so strange?

So kiddies...this is one of the amazing frocks I bought on the opening day of The Loved One shop that I've been going on and on about! I am a bit smitten with it to tell the truth. I adore navy and I've been trying to buy more blue-hued things for my wardrobe. Good start, I say!

I was still pretty under the weather when we took these pictures but I am starting to think I'm getting over this cough/flu bug that I caught last weekend. Who gets colds in the Summer?! Apparently me.

Thanks to "the Brit" for helping me with these photos!

outfit details:
dress - vintage from TLO
shoes - vintage
bracelet - Vivienne Westwood (a gift from my incredible penpal! thanks Emina!!)

Musical notes: A certain Englishman I live with has been complaining that Morrissey's current band ruined any Smiths songs they played at Glastonbury today - in his honor I thought I would post...

I hope each and every one of you has a lovely weekend. See you soon. xdjrd
