It Took An Eight-Year-Old Child To Bring 'Em To Their Senses
I am having a wee bit of a lucky streak lately and was fortunate enough to win the Half-Girl giveaway from her blog. Her package was much more magical than I ever could have imagined and all packed prettily away in a quaint cigar box. Every item was so wonderfully random and lovely--I am reminded of Scout's memory box from To Kill A Mockingbird...

I love your outfit, the dress is adorable! The sunglasses in the box are so unique looking!
oh, it reminds me of amelie too, where she finds the little tin behind a tile in the bathroom :)
Such a cute package you got there! I love your dress and I have the same shoes, in black. I love wearing them because I can still wiggle my toes haha.
You look amazing as usual! Love the teal!

Gorgeous pictures! I love the 2nd and the 6th one. Your dress is so lovely. I love the earthy accents of the dress with the earthy pictures themselves! Great title, too.
such beautiful pictures!
What a sweet dress and fun giveaway win!
you look stunning here! the color is a great one for you .light green/blue
and the shoes. you can always pull off the matchy look so well and make it look retro instead of tacky .
Like the book but LOVE the movie.
Gregory Peck is my dream man. I was sooo sad when he died. Sigh. Why can't they make them like him anymore? In fact, I base a lot of my characters on him :S
A truly lovely package :-)
The dress is perfect with the shoes :).
Lovely dress! Looove it...

i love the photography...whether it's your or someone else, i don't know.

Cute dress!

That dress is so lovely! And yes that box is very Scout-ish. Makes me want to read that book again. Or just watch the movie so I can gaze at Gregory Peck. yum.
And the photographs are especially lovely today...
Such a quaint and lovely box of goodies! I just finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird for the second time...
Lucky! I never win contests on blogs. Partly because half the time I don't know if I'm doing it quite right. I like the picture of you in the woods holding the cigar box. It reminds me of Hansel and Gretel a little bit, like you should be dropping crumbs behind you or something. Cute dress too. The shape is perfect on you.
Cool! What a cute assortment of things!
Such pretty pictures!
Getting boxes of little treasures is the best. I love that dress! :)
gosh you look so good in the turquoise outfit. congrat on your win. wishing you a wonderful weekend.
I love the aqua tone of your outfit.
What a cute package too. I'm still hunting for a few more things to send to you! It's becoming a good excuse for me to go out shopping often ;)
You're very adventurous with clothes and I am wondering why it's not the same for your hair :)?
i did have your dress taken in just a bit, but now it's a lovely fit! thank you again so much for it.
i love old cigar boxes! what a lovely package.
Great pictures as always. I love the close-up of the dress.It looks like a very lovely fabric.. Congrats on the win!!

few fun questions.

loves, the manxcat.
beautiful dress! the knick-knacks in that box are so cute.
What stunning pics! LOVE your printed dress, so cute & classic! And this is totally embarassing, but your 'in the woods' pics remind me of 'Twilight'...but I suppose the 'location' in the book is meant to be close by? GORGEOUS! :)

I personally have never won any giveaway but I'm sure it would be such a lovely surprise to get a gift like that in the mail!
Once again, your outfit is gorgeous.
What a wonderful giveaway!! That box is so fun!
Thanks so much for offering to help! I tried fiddling with the HTML but I am absolutely horrible at manipulating stuff like that, basically I just want to make my header bigger so it will fill more of the page.
I love that dress...and you just look so cute and happy and adorable in it! Great photos (and congrats on winning the gift box)!

I've got the same H&M shoes, but in fushia-purple :)
Love them, so comfy!
Perfect landscape & photos, as ever....
mwah*
adorable box and pins! and wonderful photos like always. as for to kill a mockingbird, we were just watching the movie last night on our way home. we didn't get to finish it though...i think i'll reread the book some other time to refresh my memory. it's been so long.
How lovely!
I love that box, and all the little treasures inside.
Also, that dress is gorgeous (:

Congrats on your win! Lovely cigar box. Another beautiful dress as well - looks sort of harlequin style... Perfect look. Polly x

xoxoxoxxxxx
That dress is so adorable, and so are you! These pictures are gorgeous, as they always are!! :)
Your outfit is so cute! And the box does look like the one from the movie!
Your dress is incredibly nice !
I just made my blog and I found yours and you are one of my fav. bloggers !
Keep on the great work!
thanks for dropping by my little blog..it means so much to receive a comment from one of my fave bloggers..you made me smile :)
Love your dress, like everybody else here. :D Love the photo of you "discovering" the box of goodies. :)
What a gem of a box! You're so lucky! :DDD
Also, it seems a bit off that your pretty pretty dress comes from a shop named 'Pretty Trashy', because it most certainly is not trashy! XD
Congratulations! How cute, it looks like a little childhood memory box :) I love that sort of varnished effect on your dress and those shoes look wonderful. And oh my, that last photograph really does make me yearn for life outside the city.
I love your dress! It's just too pretty and those colors are wonderful! The cigar-treasure box is really precious and child-like(in a good way).I love those kind of boxes with little things(usually not valuable but fun or just whimsical).I received sth similar on a Christmas from an ex...Too bad it lost its magic after a bad break-up though
That frock is DIVINE! You look gorgeous!
How lucky! Half-girl's box of goodies looks delightful. Your dress reminds me of harlequin dolls. I remember you posted a harlequin dress of yours months and months ago. I loved that dress too.
Your pictures are truly stunning! I always love to see your creativity in your posts! I love the treasure box-so neat!
I love that dress so much! I'm glad you pulled it out again. The package looks really fun :)
love the color of the shoes and the dress is soooo cute!!
beautiful dress :)
You're a seriously lucky (and very pretty) lady!
That is very sweet. I have wanted to bury a memory box for a while.. but just where to put it - I'm not sure yet.
I love your forest photos, lovely dress!
LOVE your dress...the print is amazing!!
This might be loveliest give-away ever.
Sweetest photos ever! You pictures always look like they are a little story in some wonderland...
these photos are so sweet! the dress is lovely. and what an awesome box of goodies.
A quick question if you get chance to answer.. How do you post your larger portrait photos? I've been posting things with the 'large' option but they're fairly small..I think I must be missing a trick?
Lovelyy dress
Beautiful picturess
Boxes full of goodies are wonderful things to receive! I like the To Kill A Mockingbird reference, too :)
I love your dress with those shoes. Sadly, I've given up on my hunt for those little flats. My H&M still has the same-way-too-small-pair hanging around. I even scoured through other H&Ms while visiting a friend a few weeks ago and still turned up empty handed. I guess it's not so bad as one can really only wear one pair of shoes at a time and I have plenty of other shoes to be worn ;)
That dress and those shoes together are outfit perfection
That sounds like a very exciting box to look through! Random collections of small things are generally the best around. And what a neat dress!
These photos just scream fun to me!!
Love the dress. What a fun little package too.
xoxo
