. . . yesterday, it was at the shops for a lacy, 60's inspired sheer white dress, and today, a sunny, sunny, mid-august day, and for just a little while longer, still summertime . . . and so, a few sun-drenched & summery things, while there's still time . . .

Completely intrigued by the combination of yellow & gray. Part calming and part energetic, it's always sophisticated with a certain elegance.
