When I see white and red together, I think of those sweet, round peppermints most restaurants often leave on the counter in a tray for guests to take as they leave. Or those nice white cars with the red interiors. Well, that's what I thought when I wore this outfit. The white dress needed a splash of color (and a run through a steamer, but let's not think about that). And of course, leaving my lips bare was unforgivable.

 I feared for dear life as I made my way down to the little bridge. I can be quite clumsy and these flats are definitely not made for trekking across unstable rocks. Any moment now and I would slip and fall and crack my head on one of them! Yikes! Needless to say, the journey was slow and meticulous. Every step calculated to ensure 100% safety! I actually really enjoy jumping from rock to rock though - only when I'm wearing the right shoes. Like when I go hiking. You'll see me leaping fearlessly.

 After the ordeal, we enjoyed the sun with our cute companion of a sunflower. Just kidding. It was hot as hell. I'm only pretending in these photos because no one likes to look at red, sweaty faced people sizzling under the heat of a thousand suns. The gaze of eyes scrutinizing perfection in every body and soul.

What I wore:

Dress: Ross

Flats: Burlington

Jacket: Target

Photos: John & me

John doesn't buy me flowers very often. And I don't expect him to either. Not even on Valentine's Day, but sometimes he likes to surprise me! I found these on my doorstep as I stepped out to get into his car. He knows well that I'd rather have just one sunflower or daisy than an enormous bouquet of roses. These were lovely though! It came with a cute stuffed bunny, which I forgot to take a photo of. While admiring the flowers, a curious little bee came by for a long (and much undesired) visit...!
