Sometimes Spring.

Let us ignore the fact that I forgot to blog for a bit there, and instead I will attempt to visually summarize all manner of things at the moment!


I won a necklace! This gorgeous thing was made by Saorise at spider, spin me a story. I cannot wait to wear it with white summer dresses! Hopefully she will open an etsy soon, because between this little confection and the accompanying drawing, she will be such a smash!


I repeated an outfit, although now with shorter hair and a bow! I am, at the moment, quite fond of tying tiny bows into odd places of my hair. It works best with curls, which are sadly falling out because of humidity, but for a few weeks at least, my follicled life is almost perfect.

Extraordinary efforts are being made
To hide things from us, my friend.
Some stay up into the wee hours
To search their souls.
Others undress each other in darkened rooms.

The creaky old elevator
Took us down to the icy cellar first
To show us a mop and a bucket
Before it deigned to ascend again
With a sigh of exasperation.

Under the vast, early-dawn sky
The city lay silent before us.
Everything on hold:
Rooftops and water towers,
Clouds and wisps of white smoke.

We must be patient, we told ourselves,
See if the pigeons will coo now
For the one who comes to her window
To feed them angel cake,
All but invisible, but for her slender arm.

-Pigeons at Dawn, Charles Simic

Gosh, you look so wonderfully lovely all the time. I don't know how you do it!

I can see why you would repeat that outfit because it's perfect! Especially with the little bow. You're making me regret chopping my hair off!

I must say that you were the inspiration behind me getting a straw cloche hat to wear this summer. I've never worn a hat regularly before, so I hope I can pull it off - the way you incorporate hats into your wardrobe sets the bar incredibly high!

Oh, the poem is so wonderful! I had to read it out alout to understand and feel it fully... though that is the case of most poems for me.
Anyway, I love your outfit and the lecklace!

Bix2012 said...

Skimming rapidly...and possibly vapidly...through your...ummm...blog, one particular thought occured to me--you are most desirous of repeatedly posting photographs of yourself.

Freddie said...
