This past weekend in Toronto definitely had me thinking I was back in London. Incessant rain trying to rush us into Fall much earlier than planned, completely threw my plans of heading to the seaside and possibly having a barbecue, right out the door.
Instead, I decided to bake some cookies and start on another not-so-summer-anymore read Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje; "a story about love, about family, about identity...a story propelled by a riveting mystery". I'm only through the first chapter, but these claims definitely hold true. Has anyone else read it....or even heard about it?
I also finished reading the Kite Runner a while back, and for those who asked, it is most definitely worth the read. Such a well written book, it had me crying from both laughter and sorrow while being completely transported into the life of the characters.
Hope you all had a more summer-like weekend than I. Thanks for all your sweet comments and a big welcome to my new readers. I'll be stopping by all your blogs soon. Have a lovely week ahead!
Bisous,
Abs

el vestido es muy bonito!
besitos
lovely photos! I so thought this was a one piece until I saw you write where you got each piece from! either way its still mice! lve it =)
I think the grey on grey is lovely. Especially with the turban.
That dress looks so chic on you, very classic.
I think you wear the turban/headpiece better than anyone I've seen yet. I keep making myself one with a scarf, but when I walk by a window later I inevitably find a piece sticking straight up and looking ridiculous! Anyway, a great, elegant look and I like the bling at the head!
the top and skirt look like a dress together... i love it!
i love the grey on grey look! and the diy turban is fabulous....
thx for the book review/preview. will have to check it out.

This look is so amazing. I really love it.
I just bought a zara skirt very similar to that and I'm delighted! you are very pretty with that turban!
I am a fan of your monochromatic look. I have only tried it with all black so far. You make me feel like reading. I have been putting it off.

@Emily: I've had that happen to me a few times till I learnt to tuck everything in nice and tight!
I find myself trying to identify the places in your photos. I actually like the look of maxi skirt on you, you are so tall and beautiful, it looks perfect for you.
Love from near Vic Park Station
