  27. Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!

    I envy your ability to rock the crop tee and the biker jacket/maxi dress combo is a thing of beauty. The feminine/tough contrast of those two divine pieces has me contemplating all things long/flowy/chiffon.

    You look radiant.

    And thanks so much for dropping by my blog, your lovely comment was much appreciated...

  46. I keep missing your latest posts for some reason! Bad stompface.

    Your birthday sounds lovely! I am glad you had a fab day. and most importantly you looked amazing whilst doing it! Hooray.

    Oh and how weird, I have a similar photo of myself at the beach wearing cutoffs and a grey crop tee! except you look really really good, and I look awful! haha

    Oh and how hot are those bathers!!

    I'm pretty sure that myPetsQuare is Australian, it might even be a Perth label actually, but I have a bad memory.

    I've been searching for some acid wash jeans too. This girl at my work wore some hot as ones the other day, and she said she got hers from Target! I have to go there soon as possible. Hope you find some too!

    Stay cool lovely lady

    Where do you live in CT, I lived in Gardens...

    You're so pretty on the pouting picture too, hehe sweet!

    Ah, and the beach is so pretty!! Wow, I can't believe that you can wear so little clothes down there. I'm gonna throw a snowball on you from here. Watch out.

  57. well i meant it! you are so beautiful, but what's even better--you have a kind heart, and you are smart. AND you have amazing style. i bet girls are always so jealous of you! xx

    ps--are thos sunglasses persol's? ive been wanting them for years, you look stunnin in them xx

    ReplyDelete
  58. your hair is amazing too, i think we have similar colour too, yours seems to change in different lights too...when i did the mtv show, i went to have my hair done on camera, and they just made it platinum blond...im trying to get it back to a real color, kind of strawberry blond.
    you prove that natural is better!!!

    LOVE the persols. no one here has them, ive been searching for them, but i think ill end up ordering them from the internet. the us is SOOOO unstylish. all americans do here is read a tabloid, or a blog, and then copy what they see. there is no creativity going into it. its like, "oh, headbands and shredded tanks on this person, it must be cool." imitation is flattery, but people need to Think a bit more here. now...that was a rant! i hope you have a lovely day. im off to the salon. looking forward to your next post babe xx
