La Vie En Rose

Don't mind my camera remote...why, I use it so much, it's an accessory at this point! :)













 

Here in Michigan, this December (and November!) have been unseasonably warm! While many residents are terrified about this weather and positive that global warming has descended upon us (along with lower lake levels and crop growth issues), I must admit that I am selfishly GLAD that the weather isn't completely arctic at this point.  I'm heading out for work in the morning in just blazers, and believe it or not, some of the hearty and beautiful roses that climb the south brick wall of the building I work at are still hanging on, bobbing around in surprisingly balmy and mellow gusts of wind.
All of this dreary rain and mild humidity puts me in a romantic mood (cue the white pashmina scarf!), and so my outfit post today is inspired by the rose and its  color and a beautiful Melody Gardot song (the title of the blog today!) which I'm including below!

OUTFIT DETAILS: Vintage Toni Todd dress (Hope's Outlet, thrifted for 1.49 and featured in this past outfit post), Vintage Dooney and Burke Doctor's satchel, white thrifted pashmina scarf and 100% thrifted jewelry. The fashion glasses were purchased at Dollar Tree and match these Ralph Lauren glasses almost identically with the exception of just a UV tint (instead of medium dark)!


See the beautiful cinematography and hear the luscious voice of Melody Gardot in this video shot exclusively for Piaget jewelry in France! It's gorgeous and it makes me feel beautiful. I hope it does the same for you!

May Days Jewelry Giveaway 2: Hazy May Day

Today was one of

those days...

It was wet and soggy all day, with a grey hazy mist hanging over things. Yet. the rain seemed to brighten everything. I stayed inside, cooked a pot of soup, and lit candles. Sometimes, the rain just rights you.

By the way...today is my 100th post! Woohoo!

Rain= steaming pots of soup and home made chai, fogging up the window...

I'm giving away

this necklace!

Today I double wrapped it and wore it as a bracelet with this entirely thrifted outfit of a navy blazer, floral knit dress and summery white scarf. It is a gold chain with faux pearl and gold baubles and an older style clasp. Just a fun piece of vintage costume jewelry!

Read below on how to win this necklace with a simple comment!

Guess who hopped into a sweatshirt and jeans two minutes after these pictures were taken?

Answer the question below to be entered in a random drawing for the necklace shown as a bracelet (and in the accessories picture) above! I will announce the winner this coming Thursday and ship the following day!
