i hope everyone (in the u.s.) had a wonderful fourth! i had quite a relaxing day and deeply enjoyed my independence :) strawberries and viewing fireworks commenced among the normal bravegrrl sunday musings...
this is one of my new/used dresses... and i think i love it... so 60ish... and ohhh how i love pockets! i really want to wear it with some knee socks and my flat knee boots, but it isn't the weather for that...
this week..
~i spent at least five hours at the park and maybe an accumulative hour thinking about sea horses
~i did a lot of thrifting and have added another vintage 3/4 length tea dress and the dress & blouse i'm wearing in this post to my closet... i was shopping for work, but i like to mix business with pleasure... especially when business really means reconstructing secondhand pieces into something one of kind and a bit kooky
~i got my feelings hurt for someone
~i learned that mothball fumes are veryvery toxic... i never use them... but i researched it because i've found pieces at thriftstores that reak of mothball fumes and wanted to know if there was a way to get it out... the answer... ridding the item of the odor doesn't rid it of actual chemicals absorbed into the fabric! yuck!
~i hand washed all my pretties
~i spent too much time reading blogs and too little time reading books
~i colored
and tomorrow starts a new week...

Hi Sabella, :)
The following fashion/style related quotes brought you immediately to mind, especially pondering over posts you share here on your most amazing blog:
“The most important thing to remember is that you can wear all the greatest clothes...but you've got to have a good spirit on the inside. That's what's really going to make you look like you're ready to rock the world.”
— Alicia Keys
“Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest.”
— Christian Dior
And Sabella, you seem to so wondrously embody & encompass both of these states/qualities so very beautifully! As it's quite apparent through your wonderful post photos & writings that you have a truly remarkably lovely spirit & "zest for life" & "things of beauty in life & world-at-large!" :)
And ergo, thusly, you render & project, Sabella, this sorta "majestically, magical regalness" & come off "so stunningly beautiful" here & your ev'ry wondrous post, babe! :)
And definitely sure enuf, "so very ready, to
(beautifully, magnificently!) so rock (our) the world! :) <333
Namaste,
XoXo

Great little dress! It looks great with the boots, but I can imagine how it would look with the knee socks, can't wait to see it when it cools off for you!
you look great!!!
sabella!, sabella! :)
sweetheart, what can i say, but, that you so wondrously inspire! this entirely most awesome photoshoot jus' "so sweetly & subtly sings" & "silently screams" --- wow, "utter beauty & perfection!" :)
as the pseudo-denim, "divinely kimchu-blue dress" is so complimentary & flattering to your gorgeous figure, creating an "oh so" classically chic/casual/comfy look. from its offering of conveniently, cozy pockets, to its "lightness of being" natural nature, & "open-ness unbutton-ness" neckline --- this "sheerly, supremely divine dress" seems to so sensuously allow for freedom & fluidity of movement of your lovely free-spirit and smokin' body, baby! :)
the top makes an ideally-matched combo, providing completely differing looks, worn, or sans as stylish prop. :)
and your choice of settings, sabella, seems absolutely stroke of sheer genius! as the marble architecture with its stately columns & frieze-artwork, seem to "so enchantingly embrace you" & "exquisitely frame you" in ev'ry captivating, scintillatingly, artistic shot! :)
my fave, is the first one at the top (favorite colors bein' blue & green, as reflected wondrously in the abundant greenery & blue skies of mother nature), as i've "never, ever" witnessed "blue & green" so very beautifully juxtaposed --- as with your "naturally glorious pose," sabella, seemingly stretching, so relaxingly heavenwards, with the marble column & stately tree(s) in background, so exquisitely framing your "gorgeously statuesque beauty!" "yes, indeed, 'rock on!', lovely lady!" :) <333
namaste,
xoxo
