Glorious in Green

Today's color is green. There were less options to pick from, but still a vast array of wonderful items that are gloriously green.

Once again I will begin with the dresses...

Milly Ruffle dress with keyhole

And a footnote; My one year blogging anniversary was about a month ago, on November 1st. I have ceased my french challenge, by finally admitting to the fact that it was really not helping me. I intend to instead enroll myself in my local community college's french program next year, which I am very excited about. For those of you who have stuck with me for this whole past year, thank you for your continual support. May this year be even great than the last!

French word of the day: Vert which is French for the word green.

Au Revoir!

Pretty in Pink

Donc, il ya eu beaucoup de choses qui se passent dans ma vie personnelle ces derniers temps, et aujourd'hui, j'ai décidé d'enfin s'asseoir et revenir à bloguer. J'ai pris des vacances prolongées, plutôt à partir de blogs (2 mois en temps réel = 3 ans de blogging), et j'ai réalisé que ça a été fait de deux choses; j'ai été occupé comme les affaires pas de corps, et j'ai été vraiment peu inspiré par ce que j'ai vu des lignes de printemps 2012 RTW jusqu'ici. Les choses semblent très insuffisantes et répétitif, mais je n'ai pas encore pu voir certains de mes designers favoris donc il ya encore de l'espoir.

So, there's been a lot of stuff going on in my personal life lately, and today, I decided to finally sit down and get back to blogging. I've taken a rather prolonged vacation from blogging (2 month in real time = 3 years in blogging), and I've realized that it's been because of two things; I've been busy like no body's business, and I've been really uninspired by what I've viewed from the Spring 2012 RTW lines thus far. Things just seem very lacking and repetitive, but I haven't yet been able to view some of my favorite designers so there is still hope.

Today I'm publishing a post devoted to pink. With Breast Cancer month officially at an end (I know it's been a whole month) I wanted to commemorate that with a showcase of some of the best perfectly pink items out there. For the next week or so, I will continue this theme, doing all the colors under the rainbow and then it will hopefully be about time to start posting for Christmas.  I apologize for the horrendous formatting, which I have tinkered and messed with for hours already, to no avail. Please, try to enjoy the pictures and don't think too much about the layout.
