Style: May ‘08

I bought a darling brown and white dress (on sale!), which led me to do some internet window shopping. I had such fun creating my Ladylike outfit a couple of months ago that I thought I’d have another go at it. Perhaps I’ll make it a monthly feature?

Still Thinking About Flowers

I wish I could see past my thinking that annuals are a waste of money, because I really like a lot of them.
