Goodbye July and Hello August! The sparkly red bow in my hair was the firecracker to my July. You can find it along with other equally creative designs by Lisa Kathryn here (http://www.lisakathryn.com).
I was so excited to debut this Vintage find of a skirt, I altered the hem (made it shorter and then gave it a higher waist fit) I gathered the extra fabric in back to make a sort of bouffant poof. Sometimes making something old become new again is more fun than dropping a few hundred bones on the latest trend. Deciding to pair the finished look with my " Givenchy " heels (could almost be twins in design) just seemed right.

You are listening to Take My Breathe Away by Hollywood, Mon Amour. I love this song, originally by Berlin, and every other cover or remix out there. It's such a romantic "in love" with someone song.

Your floral skirt is the best! I love it so much! There is so much you can do with a floral! In my opinion...what made your look are the shoes! I love them so much! I really can't stop staring at them when I look at your pics! The bow tie and the clutch look so well together!

love your blog. you're so pretty! i am so following now!
Mannnn Erika you channel everything under the sun don't 'cha? :) You've gone from Boho to classic to Safari (which I lovvved by the way) to this now... I have to agree with Anna G there is a definite French vibe coming outta these outfit shots!! And aren't you just loving all of the anonymous hater comments. "Cut your hair!" they say, what they really mean is "Your hair is so sickeningly long and pretty I can't stand it, cut it to cut my jeaously, please?" HAHA haters swarm whenever BEAUTY is near. Remember that.
Who takes your photos and where do you go? Each time is like a new adventure =) cute boots, more than cute *SO-HOT.*
Bad news I have given up on my blog, good news I'll keep reading YOURS <3
LOVE THIS!

Thanks EVERYBODY-
I tried to comment everybody back, I think I did? If not, I promise to get back to you on the next one. :)
In answer to some of your questions-
No, I don't plan on cutting my hair anytime soon. Thank you.
I like so many different styles of music, you never know what I'll put up next ;) something for everyone!!
And yes, the bow popped out at me the way Dorothy's ruby red slippers on the Wizard of Oz did and that is why I picked it to wear. I fell in love.. ;)
I bought the shoes sometime last year, not sure if they make them anymore? But the brand is "Promise" and they came in white and cream as well.
You guys make blogging more than just a hobby, you make it something to look forward to. :)
HUGS, KISSES, X's and O's!!!! <3
perfect fit. just great!
loving what you did with the skirt, and those heels are just drop dead gorgeous!!

this is a very downtown chic look, I really like it because it's just so versatile! You could go all day with it and blend in no matter where you went, from work to a nigh out. I like how the bow makes it very you.
