young at heart

I feel constantly at odds with my love of girly clothes. on the one hand, frills and pastels and mary janes make me feel feminine and whimsical, like I'm going to a magical tea party. it's an aesthetic I envy when other more wide-eyed and dainty girls pull it off so effortlessly. but since every year this weird thing happens where I get older, I'm wondering how long I can keep pretending to be an Alice or a Dorothy. 

oh well. I just got white polka dot tights to go with a pale blue eyelet dress, so Imma try and work it for a little while longer.

that's right, this dress is blue. the lighting doesn't really lend itself to true colors.

special thanks to the guy in the pictures for making it possible for you to tell they are not in sequence.

and that's all for tonight!

hope you're all enjoying your weekend.

today was a much-desired lazy day for the King-Goulding house. I'm the first to admit that I have been leading a fairly stress-free life lately, but I've just been so darn tired! sometimes you just need a day to relax and do nothing but catch up on some blogging and go out for coffee with your hubby.

a leisurely day is best spent wearing comfortable wardrobe favourites, and today I mixed the old with the new. I don't think I'll ever get tired of my lace body suit or my warm black circle scarf, and a couple of these more recent purchases are quickly becoming wardrobe staples too; my galaxy skirt always makes me feel stylish, I want to wear my denim vest with everything, and, as you might recall from this post, I have quickly become smitten with these boots. 

it was my perfect outfit for strolling downtown in the crisp fall air. and I made a new friend on our walk. his name is Benny and he's an absolute cutie. 

I'm really getting into the season! and not a moment too soon, since in Newfoundland it'll be winter in no time. better start working on that autumn check list- visit a pumpkin patch, go on a haunted hike, buy a pair of overalls... before you know it November will be here and I'll be raving about Christmas plans!

soon enough, my friends... soon enough.
