'O, How This Spring of Love Resembleth'

I absolutely adore Spring (when it behaves, that is).  Even though it had just finished raining, the trees and greenery were all so lush and green.  Ah, such a tease for what I hope is to come:  warmth, bare arms and shoulders and legs and feet, picnics among flowers and full swaying trees giving much needed shade with their leafy shadows! Although, right about now, I'm wishing for a 'bonfire' summer (as the BF and Murphy would say)! Screw shade!!

First wore this dress on my blog here (always fun looking at start-up posts and seeing how far I've come!)

What I'm Wearing:
Dress: Urban Outfitters
Sheer Sweater: Aqua - Bloomingdales
Rings: Mango, Forever21
Hat: Free People
Earrings: Ciccada - Etsy
Necklace: Maslo Design - Need Supply
Hunter Wellies

A BIG thank you to Cri of Il Piccolo Mondo de Cri for awarding me the Creative Blogger Award! Even though her blog is entirely in Portuguese, her incredible knack for putting outfits together translates!! Go check her out if you have not already!

I'd also like to thank you ladies for all your responses on the Lita question.  I think I'm just going to go for it.  What the hell, right?  If/when I get sick of them, I'll either hide them under a pair of REALLY long pants that I can't be bothered to hem or stick them on my shelf as part of shoe history!  I'm going to order this gray pair as soon as I can figure out how to get them at a discount! Oh, and I WILL get them at a discount by hook or by crook!

Don't forget to eyeball my lookbook photo strip (on the right side) for sneak peeks of my upcoming posts!

'April Hath Put a Spirit of Youth in Everything'

My birthday was a week and a half ago, but I just went out this past weekend to celebrate (yup, you guessed it, due to horrible weather).  I always start shopping for my bday dress two months in advance, and I knew this year I wanted something long and sleek with a peekaboo element.  So when I was perusing the pages and pages of Asos clothing, this Aqua dress was a no brainer!  Beside the fact that it's impossible to get on and off without help, I LOVE IT!!  The cut out is just the right amount of sexy! 

Happy 33 me!

Took these shots at my elementary school!  The flowers and painted embellishments are new but that yellow line that we had to line up on and not utter a word is still there!  Many a time did I get detention for speaking out of turn :)  Yup, I was a talker!

Dress:  Aqua - Asos

           Orig.: $233.00

Would love to thank DizzyTea for giving me the One Lovely Blog Award! And might I add that she has one lovely blog.  Her images are fresh and whimsical and quite frankly, always puts me in the mood for high tea! And I'd also love to thank Michelle of Daily Cat Walk for giving me the Sunshine Award (how ironic that I can't seem to get SUN in NY). Thanks, Michelle, for your lovely award, and here's hoping it brings some sun!  Check out a couple of weird facts about me and the lovely ladies to whom I nominated here!

And now for some venting:

If you follow me on Twitter, you know of my ravings about these cuties, and how I couldn't find them in my size. Then, as my luck would have it, I happened to look again a couple of days later and voila! There they were in a 6.5, and they were the last pair. I just received them in the mail last night, ripped the box open, gleefully tried them on and ONE SHOE IS A SIZE SMALLER THAN THE OTHER!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO QUALITY CONTROL!!! My only hope is that the other person who's facing this dilemma is feeling as perturbed as I am and has called in the same problem...or....

...have any of you ladies had your shoes stretched?  And does it work?

'There's Daggers in' My Belt

This little silk onesie would not have been had it not been for the eye of the bf!  Although he is constantly trying to cure me of spendalotallthetimeitis, he sure does have a good eye for what would fit me.  For some strange reason, I thought onesies were not for me, let alone wearing one to work (with a leather blazer of course).

 I was wrong.

Paired with the belt, it is genious!  Oh, and I just had to put on the sequined tank just to let it play peek-a-boo with the racerback.  Thought it was a pretty touch.  Thanks BF!!!
