Beds, A Haven of Comfort

Hello, it's Micaela. Since I was a little girl, beds have always been my haven of comfort. Waking up to the pitter-patter of rain rhythmically playing melodies against my roof on lazy Sunday mornings, when nightfall is upon me, snuggled up in my cocoon of covers, curling up beneath the little patch of sunlight that hits the corner of my bed, my bed will always be my sanctuary.











I love how not everything is perfectly in place. The messiness is what I find beautiful about all these. The covers and pillows are wrinkled and some of the beds aren't even made, but that makes it all the more pretty to me.

Which is YOUR favorite?


Also, I forgot to introduce Aubrey in my "about me" post.



She says "hi."

Romantic Dreamers

Hello lovelies! It's Micaela. How did everyone's weekend go? Fast, slow, exciting, boring, in between?

I can't believe how fast the month of August is going by...where has the time gone? Total cliche, but it's so true. Although those in the Southern Hemisphere are probably all itching for the start of spring, I am certainly not looking forward to colder weather...the only saving grace is that I get to debut my small collection of scarves.

What are you looking forward to wearing this autumn/spring?

Okay, how did we get totally off topic from what I was meaning to share with you? Oh well...

I've had a Polyvore for such a long time, then deleted it, then created a new one, then never had any time to devote to it (is it just me, or does it take a really long time to create a set?), so now my Polyvore just sits there, untouched. I'm thinking about jumping on the Polyvore bandwagon again, so on this wonderful Monday (major oxymoran there), I was searching the lovely pages of Polyvore, and came across this group: Romantic Dreamers. I think I just might join...





It's funny how all these sets are made by various people, but they all have the same mood, even the same type of muted hues...Sort of looks like what it would look like if Anthropologie ever made collages.

On a totally different note, I just ordered All Things Ordinary a couple of days ago, after lusting over it via the Internet.



Can't wait until it shows up in the mail...I've heard it's extraordinary (haha, All Things Ordinary is extraordinary).

Take care dears,
Micaela

Dear Moschino,



You've got style
That's what all the girls say
Satin sheets
And luxuries so fine
All your clothes are custom made in Italy
You've got something that I really like




Dress me up in my love
All over, all over
Dress me up in my love
All over my body




Let me feel the silky touch of your caresses
They will keep me looking so brand new
Cover me with your velvet kisses
Give me this look -- it's made for me!




Dress me up in my love
In my love
All over my body
From my head down to my toes

It's Alison again from the Frou Frou Fashionista, sharing my passion for ballerinas and tulle with you! I'm not sure which I enjoy more, but when put together they make an amazing presentation! So many of us are drawn to the grace and beauty of ballet, and the same can be said for frothy tulle ballgowns and tutus. Seeing such lovely images reminds me of how fun it is to be a girl!
Have a lovely weekend!
