Flowers in your hair

Photobucket

Do you know the feeling you get when you have a song stuck in your head 

and you can't really remember what song, but you can't seem 

to shake the tune either?

Most of the times it's one of those dreadful repetative tunes that you wish would have never

made their way into your brain. But there are time, if scarce, when the song 

that you can't help but hum does one of the most simple 

and natural things: it brings a smile to your face.

It was one of these tunes that I've been humming all day. And even if all I could distinguish

between the blurry lyrics was "hair" and "flowers" it put me in the most

wonderful of moods.

So I just went with it, followed the tune and took in the inspiration. Still, no amount

of dancing around the house and flowers pinned in my hair did the trick in

helping me identify the song. It was only when I gave up and 

started writting this post that I found myself singing

the entire song.

Just to show that some things really do happen only when they're supposed to :)

Absolutely Mrs. K said...

It looks amazing, the oversized flower is absolutely perfect. I love it with the color of your hair. I also love the combination with the sweater, it looks so adorable and delicate. But is works for you.

I think Bergdorf and saks know how to create a window. Have you seen the windows at Christmas, it looks like a little amusement park. And let’s face it: the more appealing they are, the more we want to buy.
