painting the roses red.

Boy, I sure am ready for fall's arrival. I just feel like telling summer "a very un-happy birthday to you!" for making me as sleepy as the door mouse. I would very much like to host a mad hatter tea party in tribute to autumn. After experiencing triple digit weather for almost two months, layers, overcoats, and soft colors all have such a pleasant aura to them. This cropped mesh jacket sent to me by the darling online boutique Pixiedusk is the perfect transition piece from summer to fall. Beautiful items like this jacket are all hand-selected to be part of a carefully curated selection showcased on Pixiedusk. And how eye-catching is the back detail? It's like a cascading curtain, and my eyes were immediately drawn to it. 

Let's just hope while fall is still scampering around with the pocket watch, that the Queen's playing cards don't attempt to paint my lovely jacket red.
