And Fairytales Seem More Real Than Reality
I like wandering around my campus (even in the blistering heat) and finding places with dappled sunshine that remind me of The Secret Garden. When I was little I was desperate to find a place like the secret garden--my own private, beautiful place. Now though, I think I would rather have a secret library. It would be ideal to have a library housed in a greenhouse, but I fear the humidity would ruin the books...

So gorgeous. I love your outfits.
Dappled sunshine is the best.
I am aspiring to take photos like yours.
Ooh I used to be insanely jealous of Belle's library in the castle in the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast. Stacks and stacks of books that would stretch all the way to the ceiling, shelves in domes...
Beautiful outfit (as always), I love your colour combinations and your shoes are too cute to actually put into words, they look comfy to :D
I love the colors in the outfit and the bracelets are cute. I think I would like a secret library, too--it could be air-conditioned.
I need to get some yellow shoes too! Very nice outfit :) I like how you layered the bracelet wit the watch! Awesome.
I loved the dappled light in these pictures -- they remind me of this poem (one of my favorites, religious or no!):
13. Pied Beauty (Hopkins)
GLORY be to God for dappled things—
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.
library housed in a green house? haha now thats interesting :)
sweet little bracelet u have there
I love button-down skirts...seeing yours makes me want to go and wear my own (though sadly, those seem to have been lost many years ago).
Oh I love the "secret garden" movie and your campus is so beautiful!
what camera do you use? the quality of colour in your photos is always so beautiful! it's almost not digital.
Those photos are beautiful! The light is perfect, it makes me think of summer evenings...
A great use for the beaded necklace. i have a few of these that I never wear. I might try this too.
You have a lovely blog, I've just discovered it! Have sent you an email.

Speaking of libraries, you should see my house. Hubby and I are fond of reading and end up spending quite a dough on books. So at any given time, there are some 1500 books in the house. We do give out a lot of books to friends, families and libraries, but we end up buying that many more.
I can see that you love the new watch. It's nice, and goes with a lot of outfits. Also, i am suddenly seeing a lot of yellow shoes all over.
I always used to look for a secret garden too! I was so bitterly disappointed that I never found one.
The colours are just heavenly and the scenery is beautiful.
Beautiful!

Those photographs are beautiful, and I love the outfit, especially the little happy bracelets!!

xx
great colors! and i love your bracelets.
i hope you win the trip! i voted for you, good luck. =]
love the yellow shoes and a secret library would be awesome!
I grew up in an ancient house and there was a huge library, with colums, ancient furnitures, bookshelves and books, of course. And near the library there was even a chapel...all the other kids always asked me about my house, but for me there was nothing strange with it!
I voted for ya! 3 stars! godd luck lady!
i love the pics!
And I'm back in action again!
Thank you for being faithful to my and my blog!
take care! :)
Ooh congrats! Once my super slow laptop gets through I'm voting for you. And adore your outfit today as usual, I like the blue setting off by the yellow shoes..
Great skirt! I've dreamt of having my own secret garden too.
all the places you go are really amazing, i wish a have a great garden to go too...i live in a beach place...but i hardly ever go there..and its only two blocks of my house...
about Rio de Janeiro, i born there, such a magical city :)
a kiss!!!
Dapple sunshine is always lovely :)
You look adorable, and I hope you win that contest!
Love the green screaming from the pictures, really beautiful!!
cute look!
great colors in your outfit! i love the skirt.
when i was little, i also searched for my own secret garden. i kept telling my parents i had found it, even though it wasn't true :)
really like the bracelet and watch combo
ooh, yellow shoes. i like them :)
ahhh, the bliss of a secret library!
love this combination of colors. I'd like a secret garden too, just bring the books along with me!
I've voted for you a couple of times. Good luck in the semi-finals of the Kaboodle contest. Liz
ooh I'm loving the watch! such a nice colour, it goes well with the whole outfit :)
I officially adore that watch!
I'm still dead set on having a secret garden when I finally grow up (when that will be I have no idea), but I think the garden might have to be on the roof of a building in NYC because that's currently where I want to live. Having a place of solace in such a busy city might actually be really nice though...
your pictures are so sunny and amazing!
Those pictures are so beautiful and you look adorable, as usual. Such a beautiful place. Your color scheme is perfect for the location. Yellow shoes are sweet.
I'm linking to you...hope u do the same. Let me know.
Love your outfit! the colors are so serene and beautiful!
Cute as usual. The photos are perfect with the natural setting.
Yes I used to love finding a little clearing all to myself and pretend that I was an adventurer and this was my only haven! I'd forgotten that feeling until just now!
your skirt is lovely.
Your pictures are always nice. Swap links?
I love the pop of color your yellow shoes add and ditto on the whole scret garden fantasy. I moved to where I currently reside like two years ago but near my old building there was a walled enclosure with two small doors that were kept locked. They looked like the type of doors that would lead into a secret garden type of place and I remember I used to walk by and try to peak through the key hole. I hardly think it was a garden, but it was nice to think that it was.
love these images, can see the secret garden reference.
and well done on making it to the semis. must say, i think your dress is the most interesting.
and I am amazed by how much your readership has increased in such a small amount of time! how on earth do you keep on top of comment! ha.

Beautiful colours.
How about a secret library in a tower with lots of windows? That has always been my dream :-)
That flower bracelet is sooo cute!
The old adage 'blue and green should never be seen' flies out of the window. I love the outfit, you look like a little woodland fairy, love it
the color palette is fantastic
I don't know whether you have a filter on your cam, or maybe it's the green trees and your clothes, but the effect is lovely. Green is definately a colour your rock well as a redhead (which I think you should definately keep as red rather than blonde! =) )
love the color of that watch!
I like the way you've combined all those tones together.
i also used to really like the secret garden...your outfit looks very nice, i notice how you like the colours yellow and blue as you use them alot in your outfits!
i love the idea of using the flowery necklace as a bracelet. weee~
The watch looks great on you.
