My Girl, Linen and Curls


The weather has been depressing. Rain and hideous wind abound, with not a ray of sunlight in sight. It doesn't feel like summer.

This dress makes me feel better. It's so posh! I tremendously look forward to wearing it in Paris.

All photographs by the lovely Tucker.

Tucker let me borrow some of her fantastic curly hair product and it worked miracles. It kind of feels like glue, but when it goes in your hair it makes it perfectly piecey and holds the curls excellently. And it kept me unfrizzy in the rain! Unheard of!

Post title from "Summersong" by The Decemberists. Linen, curls, totally fitting!

Target cotton and linen dress, borrowed shoes and earrings

More vacation pictures to follow, that is if Tucker and I can muster the energy to stop watching movies illegally on the internet and eating butter pecan fudge.

Beautiful!! I love the picture second row from the bottom of you against the wall showing off those amazing earrings. You look so classy! I expect to see many MANY more pictures missy, even if they are just of you and Tucker eating that delicious sounding fudge.

Oooh yes I have read The Virgin Suicides. I love the film too :)

The Bell Jar is... woah. I love Sylvia Plath so much. I can't believe it's her only novel. Though her poetry is stunning.
