leaves of grass










Dress - gift from my gf Maye, Forever 21 belt & cuff, Ray Ban aviators

I can't wait til the weather gets warmer and I can live in maxi dresses...which is my summer staple. The weather was slightly warmer this past weekend so I nudged this dress out of its winter hibernation and took it out to soak up some Vitamin D.

As much as this time change has been wreaking havoc on my sleep schedule, I love having the sun stay out and play longer. The sun and I...we're like *this*.

I'm spending this morning on the computer replying to emails and comments from the last few posts so you know where to find me. Thank you for the kind emails and even sweeter comments. I love hearing from you and although I may not reply to comments as quickly as I would like to, I do always reply to all of them. So please don't think I'm ignoring you or your blog...I would never think of it. :)


P.S. Thank you to my fellow Korean bloggers for leaving me comments in Korean. Those were a real treat and fun to read. ;)

I don't normally love maxi dresses, but yours is absolutely gorgeous! The belt kind of reminds me of an Alaia. Great outfit!

Rikki Lane said...

That dress is amazing! Love the belt and cuff too!

Delmy said...

Nina (femme rationale) said...

Hi anonymous,

Yes, my hair is layered...very layered which helps with achieving volume. My bangs are actually where my layers start so i can either wear them as bangs or have them blend into the rest of my hair. I like my layers to start around the apples of my cheeks. I'm actually in desperate need of a trim right now. If I let my layers and hair get too long, my curls start looking stringy and my hair gets too heavy.

Hope this helps!

xx Nina

Ediot said...

these pictures are so nice. i love the green green grass and you bringing the wonderful free bohemian vibe. you look fantastic.

WendyB said...

Stunning!

And layers are definitely the key to beautiful hair. I don't know why they have such a bad rep!

Carlotta said...

I love this pics, the dress is very pretty!!

tanya said...

beautiful!! I love those colors..it looks so sunny over there, I'm jealous :-)

JGeb said...

I LOVE that dress. I'm jealous of your lush yard, our's is a mud pit with the melting snow and rainy weather. Come on summer!

Dominica said...

That fabric looks awesome ....the colours suit you very well !
Love 'the walking in the garden' pics !!

Hot Bot said...

Love the backdrop against the maxi. And your hair is looking extra mighty fine today ;)

And thanks for the nail support. I am actually leaning toward getting acrylics. But I am so self conscious of my hands, namely my cuticles. Not that they're gnawed to bits, but I do want to let them heal a bit before I go in. I don't even let my boyfriend massage my hands, I'm that self conscious.

Ms. Lovers Knot said...

I love wearing maxi dresses during the hot months, which there are about 8 here in Texas.

modern antoinette said...

I'm simply so jealous that you are already able to wear maxi gowns. Montreal still has about 4 meters of snow and summer is far for here.

The colors of the dress look gorgeous on your skin. I love it.

Haha, cannot wait for winter...just as you've started to ease into summer, I've started putting on tights and ankle boots, craving cold nights so I can pair my true winter gear.

Have a lovely weekend, bella

Hey! (^_^) I've got my laptop back and fixed and reading your blog again is like watching new Sex and the City episodes.. fashiongasms galore! Great maxi dress.. I've always wanted to try that trend but I very much doubt it would suit me.. its better for long legs like yours. xxx

-Smile- said...

This dress is sick... The background is sick also..(I live in Lithuania, and everything here is very brown with no colour, just the beginning of spring, so to see these bright colours was like WOW)
