Housekeeping

An update on the Kaboodle contest (because I know you're all dying to know); if you still would like to vote for me, go here. (Note: if you need to register for a Kaboodle account it's free, you can have one for every e-mail you have, and they DON'T spam).

On blogging news: I am updating my link list, as you should be able to tell. If your link has disappeared/is misspelled/is broken, please let me know so I can fix it. Also, of you would like to do a link swap with me, let me know now. If I've never visited your site before, I can't promise to link to you; I like to familiarize myself with peoples' sites before I add them to my list.

Finally, the outfit. I'm obsessed with pastel tights at the moment and received my order of three pairs from We Love Colors awhile ago. It was finally cool enough to wear them out--yay! And here's my first foray.

Outfit details: dress- some shop in Japan, tights- We Love Colors, shoes- Urban Outfitters

The pastel tights are lovely - I'll have to keep a look out for a pair in shops around here.

I have a link to your blog on my site already, but if you'd like to turn it into a link exchange then I'd be more than happy!

Your dress is adorable! I love the faces print on it.

The pastel tights are really lovely! & the dress is too adorable!! The prints are so unique ! & yes, now that I've bought the tripod stand, I can't see myself going anywhere without it either! :) Thanks for your suggestion for the bubble hem!

selinaoolala said...

i just love those tights!! since stocking up on five pairs of topshop 'gurple' tights (and laddering them all) i hope you wouldn't mind if i bought some too!

bestie said...

oh, good for you! the tights' color is lovely.(: how's the quality though? i've been wanting to order a few pairs myself but i keep on reading awful feedback on them.

Grace said...

That dress reminds me of those tea towels you sometimes got as a child, where everyone drew themselves and all the pictures got printed on the tea towel for people to buy. Does that make any sense, or am I describing a strictly British phenomenon here? But whatever, it's brilliant!

Adri said...

Lovely dress.
I am now lusting after lavender tights. Only $9 shipping to Europe hmm?

Alya said...

Pastel tights.. I like :) Too bad its too hot to wear them now.

By the way, I already have you on my links list, but if you'd like to add mine, I'd appreciate it :)

Miss Woo said...

Love the print on your dress, esp with the tights.. (oh and the flower in the hair too!)

pretty face said...

Lovely - the tights especially! I currently want some lace tights...
I registed to kaboodle but I CANNOT remember my username/password at all. Am off to forage...

Vintage Vinyl said...

Oh my god. I think I just had a hernia looking at that outfit. It is ADORABLE! One of my favourites so far. And those tights are amazing. I have a collection of coloured tights, and I am checking out this website where you got them. Everything is lovely!

the iron chic said...

Pastel, huh?
Interesting....I think it is getting too warm here for me to legally still wear tights which is really hard for me..

Miby said...

The dress has a lovely print! I think it goes beautifully well with those pastel tights! You look beautiful! :)

Mikkle said...

love that shade of blue! your outfit is like a modern day alice in wonderland!

coco said...

I'm sorry you're not winning. I think you have such original style!

Lydia said...

It's a shame about the dress contest.
I love this outfit, it's beyond adorable. The color of the tights is so unexpected that it just works.

If you feel so inclined, feel free to link me. I love your blog :D styleisstyle.blogspot.com

Aretha said...

That's a very mysterious dress! I'm glad to say that I'm in your blogroll
BTW, what is that Kaboodle contest about???

Pamcasso said...

that dress is incredible- so much personality. Also, question: do you really love We love Colors tights? I've been thinking about getting some but wasn't sure...

Nay'Chelle said...

Great print on the dress and you look nice with pastel tights. Too bad about the contest though.

Dang said...

Wow, that dress is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
And I'd love to exchange links with you. :)

Ida said...

This dress is amazing! AND the tights too! I love the flower in your hair, and the relaxed atmosphere of the pictures. Gorgeous:)

dianasof said...

I heart your tights! I really do have to purchase more tights than I currently own, but I seem to have horrible luck with them (they always rip). I guess I'll just have to take my chances. By the way, is that natural light, or did you fiddle with the coloring? Because it suits your outfit perfectly.

everybodysaysdont said...

welovecolors is a great site - and the tights really wear/last well too. You look gorgeous in them, and love the dress too.

By the way - I'd love you to link to me -

Savvy Gal said...

I always look weird in tights. For some reason colorful and print tights make me feel fat and I am 100 lb at 5'4", which is silly.
You look cute!
Anyway, I have you on my blog so it will be cool to be on your.

Sunniva said...

Thank you so much! Haha I know..there's no point in rushing the drink..that's when it goes wrong ;p

You always dress so nice and chic..love those pastel tights!

And I'd love to do a link swap with you!

fashion herald said...

Milla said...

Pretty Pirate said...

that we love colors website is so hard for me. There are too many colors and they just look great all together. I can never decide which ones to get. You look great and the color is really nice.

Anushka said...

your dress! oh, i love it. and it looks great with the flower in your hair, as well.

Blue Floppy Hat said...

As always, you look lovely- and the faces are a delightfully odd touch on the dress. :)

Val said...

Shen-Shen said...

I love that dress, and those tights! I'm inspired to go get more tights now, although I do think I have enough! Although perhaps it's impossible to ever have enough tights.

Also, would you like to link exchange? I've already added you, since I love your outfits, heh :D

Kennedy said...

Skipperdee said...

Hey. Love your blog. Read the whole thing in entirety today. I just went out and bought a whole bunch of colored tights. I was wondering how you care for your tights. Mine always seem to get snagged instantly and get baggy in the knees. Please explain how you keep yours so impeccable! Thanks.

the tea drinking english rose said...

aw rubbish!
but at least you look pretty in your amazing coloured tights.... they remind me of parma violets! which i absolutely l o v e! although they look blue...are they?
and your dress is cutely childlike!!
everyone has said this... but i do love your blog too, and obviously i have your link already, but if you like we can always pretend now to exchange?

K.Line said...

ruby may said...

The pastel tights are like ice creamy dandy candy.
You are sooo popular look at this! 71 comments, it's crazy!

Pratishtha Durga said...

I know the post is about the tights, but that sure is a stunning dress. It's unique, and the tights just add to the overall look.

And I agree with Ruby May. Look at the comments! This is almost as many comments as The Sartorialist gets! You rock, girl.

On Track said...

That dress is too cute for words, what an adorable print! I am so inspired by your dress, I love how you have worn it, it doesnt look too busy, just right :D

link me :)

Caitlin said...

Just to let you know, I've linked to your blog because I like it (and you!) so much. Confession: I spent several hours, the week before finals, reading back through the whole thing.

susie_bubble said...

Beautiful... surprised you didn't get more votes be tbh...the person with 1000+ votes probably canvassed a ton of ppl via Facebook/Myspace....

L. said...

Those tights are such an odd (but lovely) colour. The thing about odd coloured items is that you don't really have any preconceptions about what they match with, which let's you experiment more!

I'm also super jealous of your dress - it's so whimsical.

tara said...

oh yeah, also you used to have my link on your site but I've moved around like, 3 times recently, haha. But my blog is at tulipsociety.com/wordpress and will be there for quite a long while to come :).

Hi, I'd love a link here- I'm linking you regardless, and I'm new, trying to get started, it'd help a great deal. xo, Emily

hogan said...

hey! i'd be honored to be on your link list; you're already on mine!

the pastel tights are gorgeous- i've been looking for a sweet green pair.

Cheryl Lynn said...

Simply adorable. I'm starting to take note on the resurgence of tights, particularly colored tights. I've always been partial to black tights and will wear them with just about anything when it's cool enough. Now I'm looking into other colors as well. Looking forward to the fall so I can experiment even more.

I've linked you on FA'SHOE'NISTA! if you're interested. Feel free.
