Yesterday was my mother's birthday. She was showered with gifts, flowers and cake and we all went out to have a celebratory lunch with her. It was just lovely and we were joined by my sister and her fiance who had traveled up here for the occasion. I wore a new coral coloured dress that I picked up just last week, with my retro swing coat, and a vintage bag and pair of shoes. Though it was a rainy day, I felt very 1960's 'Miami Beach' in my outfit, and caught myself dreaming of palm tree studded scenery, blushing flamingos and warm, hazy mid-days with pink lemonade (something I just can't seem to get enough of lately). While the rest of the world says goodbye to their summer season and welcomes colder weather, here I am spending my days sitting by the pool with a good book, packing the winter blankets back into the closets and listening to the sound of chirping cicadas as the sun sets.

Thank you very much!
DeleteYou look great in your new dress.
ReplyDeleteNow I want some pink lemonade...yum!
Thanks, I can't help but drink it!
DeleteI love the dress! Do you have a new background on your blog?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mia! And yes, I do have a new background and colour scheme as well. I thought it was time for a change.
DeleteThat is an adorable dress! It sounds like you had a lovely day out with your mom. I haven't had pink lemonade in years and your lovely post made me start missing the warm summer days, it will be a while before I see them again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah! It was a lovely day, and my mother enjoyed herself. Embrace your Autumn season!
DeletePink looks so pretty one you and I love the new blog background, too! Happy Birthday to your Mum. xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vix!
Deleteadorable outfit. Love your jacket paired with the dress. Love the 60's vibes :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much! I should pull this little jacket out more.
DeleteAw! You look so fresh and pretty in your pink dress. Coral is one of my favorite colors and perfecr for spring. It sounds like you've had a nice day! Im really dreaming about thick cozy sweaters in earth tones.

Thank you, Abigail! It is a pretty colour isn't it? Though I find I've never really worn it much before. There is nothing like a nice cosy sweater on chilly days!
DeleteYou look so pretty! There's a massive eye-candy factor about flamingos and swimming pools! Love that picture with the poolside pink lemonade, I sense that Miami vibe in it... or even a Malibu Barbie groove :) x
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! And oh isn't there? And totally love Malibu Barbie!
DeleteYou look beautiful, love that dress!! It sounds like your mum had a great Birthday :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, and yes, she had a wonderful day.
DeleteYou look just lovely! What a perfect outfit for spring. I love the image you've painted, I've always admired that mid-century Miami vibe. I'm glad your mum had a wonderful birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Faye! I'm glad that you could picture the image I was trying to paint. I wasn't sure how well it would come across. And thank you!
DeleteThat's such a beautiful outfit! Coral is a beautiful color especially for spring and summer, and you've styled it perfectly with that jacket. The new background looks lovely, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! It is lovely, I don't know why I haven't really worn the colour much before now. And I'm glad that you like the new background.
DeleteHappy late birthday to your mom! You look absolutely gorgeous :)

Thank you very much for the kind wishes.
Deletei love all the pink going on here now! In your background, in the dress and the lovely pink lemonade. Every time i travel to Queensland I always get a different tropical feeling about it. Very Miami... actually ins't there a Miami in the Gold Coast? Hahah i guess you could actually go there... in a way
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you do, thanks! And yes, there is actually a Miami Beach on the Gold Coast, it's a way up north from me. There are also a few other beaches and places named after those gorgeous places in America around there too. I don't think of it too often as I've lived around the area all my life, but when I stop and 'smell the roses' I am very grateful to live in such a beautiful place.
DeleteHello, dear Lucy! I share your joy in the change of the seasons. For you the warm weather has arrived bringing with it good times like the ones you posted about. For me the change will bring welcome relief from the stifling heat and humidity here in the land of palm trees and flamingos, Florida.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in this outfit, dear friend. So happy to reconnect with you here and at my spot. Thank you and have a wonderful week, Lucy!
I can imagine the relief that the change in weather will bring you! And thank you very much, enjoy the rest of your week!
DeleteYour day sounds lovely, I hope your mum had a lovely birthday. I wish it was still summer right now, we had a great one in England this year and at the moment it's still pretty warm which is nice. I must say, I'm loving the new blog background and the pink in your outfit x
ReplyDeleteYes, she did have a lovely birthday. Thank you, Sarah. I'm glad you've still got some warm weather before it starts getting too cold. And I'm glad that you like the new background!
Deletelovely dress, lovely day, lovely you!
