Ode to Wendell

Wendell is my Netherland Dwarf rabbit (formerly Wendelin....apparently I was misinformed). He's too cute for words and is rather sassy.

Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else but Me

I've been waiting to showcase this dress for so long, and now that I'm home I finally can. My Nana pulled it, among many other dresses, out of a cedar trunk when I went to visit her a few years ago. It's hand-made, silk, and circa the early 1960s. It's as though it was pulled right out of an episode of Mad Men! The purse, another favorite that didn't make it to Scotland, was my mother's at her Christening. Quite the vintage look.

Today is my town fair, and the weather couldn't be more perfect. I'm so excited to eat fried dough, go on the ferris wheel, and check out the animal and produce displays (especially in the bunny barn). Happy Autumn, everyone!











Dress: Vintage; Purse: Vintage; Heels: Target; Elephant Ring: F21 (only $2.00!)

You can buy the hair clip, hand-made by me, on my new Etsy! Check it out!

Trying My Hand at Etsy

So I motivated and finally started an Etsy account for my hair clips. I only have one up right now because my photographer (Button) doesn't get here until tomorrow. I'd love any suggestions my fellow bloggers have for me, and I'd certainly take requests, if you have them. It's a bit intimidating to put my work out there, but Etsy is such a positive community.

Expect a full fashion post soon! It won't be full of castles and medieval architecture like usual, but a New England autumn ain't so bad.

The Highlands and the Isle of Skye

During our last week in Scotland, Bretton and I took a three day trip into the Highlands and up to the Isle of Skye. It was like entering a different world entirely. We did take a tour, which is NOT my style, but renting a car was just too expensive because we're under twenty five. We'll have to do it again in a few years. I'm just going to let the pictures speak for themselves. I wish I'd captured Nessie when we went to Loch Ness, but she was being a bit shy.

Now that I'm home in New England, it's very emotional for me to look at these pictures. Scotland will always be my home, and I know I'll be trying to find a way back for the rest of my life. I'm happy to be back with my parents and my bunny, but...I mean...it's Scotland, for Christ's sake.
