This past week had me feeling like I was a character from The Wind in the Willows. Alternately fast paced and slow moving; I find myself dashing out of the door to make it to class, only to realize that my clock packed up and I'm an eager beaver who is way too early. I'm eating like a king one day and a pauper the next simply because I don't have enough time to snag something up. With the weather fluctuating between extremely cold to warm and sunny, I'm power walking to get home and get excited over the fact that my heart isn't beating out of my chest; only to end up a couch potato catching up on all my favourite shows a few hours later.
Today has shaped up rather nicely. With the weather warm enough to not necessarily require a jacket, I've been able to spend some quiet time in conversation, share some meals and unwind with good music. I was even able to squeeze in a few hours at the salon. I'm so thankful for weekends!
Hope you are all having a nice weekend so far. Take care!
Bisous,
Abs

beautiful pics!!! i like the dress and your hair!!
Besos
Such a delicate, whimsical ensemble could so easily look overly girly and silly, but by teaming it with brown leather shoes and that incredible chunky jewellery you work the look perfectly. It must be a hell of a lot warmer where you are than it is here (this week I have practically slept in my parka!) and I am extremely jealous that you can frolick in delicious florals whilst us Londoners layer up to within an inch of our lives! Great post. X

I love this dress - it's so summery. Which makes me miss summer. But I still love it.

It looks so warm and balmy there, like it is still summer. And the dress fits perfectly into this setting.
Such nice floral print.. and the pics are so cute! :)

The print and length of this dress are both right on! I love that it's conservative, but it still looks modern and a little sexy with the neckline. The print and color palette looks lovely against your skin. Looks like style is your mainstay amidst your whirlwind life!
gorgeous dress!
Amazing dress!

You always have such beautiful dresses! This one is no exception. Where do you find all of them?? I have one full length vintage dress that I adore, but haven't been able to add anymore to my closet. I obviously need to dig deeper in the stores, haha.

Thank you for taking the time to comment my blog, im so glad you like the harem trousers! They are pretend silk, so they feel amazing. Not doing much with my hair, just a trim. I don't think i'd dare doing anything drastic! hehe xo

Your hair looks really cute. Absolutely love the shoes you paired with this lovely dress.
You look fabulous! work it girl! :)
@ramz_x: thank you!
@agnes: merci beaucoup pour le complement! Et merci parce que tu es aider-moi avec mon francais. So poor! Haha
@Sydney, The Rabbit-Hearted Girl: thanks for that! I have to look into picking that up
@Kata:gorgeous place I presume; judging from those photos
@Madeline Weber: University of Toronto campus. If you're familiar, it's just the lawn between the school of music and philosophers walk
@Abigail: you noticed. Hahaha. Thanks
@Becca: you're kind. Thanks!
@pancakeSTACKER: I got this in Camden in London. There's not much digging required there since it just reaches out and slaps you in the face. Here in Toronto though, it's like elbow fights and sweat just to end up with nothing. Sigh. Hope you're able to add to your collection sooner than later!
@Wall of Fashion: you're much welcome!
@Miss Kimmy: Thanks! I'm flattered. I think I might make of mockery of things though. If the director said "give me a serious look" for example, I'd probably choose that exact moment to burst into fits of laughter. Unintentionally of course.
@Ramona: Thanks for following! I'll be sure to stop by you sooner than later
@Tastes Eclectic Fashion: Those are the kindest words I've read on here. Thank you! And I appreciate that you're following me on bloglovin. You also have a very lovely blog.
@Jennifer Fabulous: Thank you! Don't mention it at all. I hope you're feeling a little chuffed now :)
@Victoria India: Pretend silk looks like the real thing. Gorgeous! I would love to see your hair when it's all done
@rebecca: hahaha! I know right?! Christmas decorations have gone up already here
i love evrything you're wearing in this post!
that dress, and your shoes!
loved them!
XOXO
hey abi! :)) you look gorgeous!! and I envy you so much that you can still wear those pretty dresses, here is getting so cold, it's no chance you can go out without a jacket or even a coat... :/
but I wish you could enjoy your warm weather and light clothes as long as you can! :)) xoxo
The dress is gorgeous!!

Wow, you remind me of the lead singer of The Noisettes! x
Check out my shoe design BlogSpot? All my designs are hand-drawn also! Take care

@Prad: I love the Noisettes so I hope thats a good thing? :S
wow! I just found your blog, but must admit I love it. Love the way you select your clothes to suit you and your personal style uniquely. We need more of this in the world, instead of people just buying what's trendy.
thanks for sharing. I'm a new follower :)
Those are the kindest words! Thanks a lot :)
This dress is beautiful ... You look beautiful
