I lugged these flowers home from the city but I now have 3 vases filled with fresh flowers which is lovely. Who knew flowers could be so heavy?!I picked up some new books on the weekend, one of which is Bruce Chatwin's 'Utz.' I'm trying to finish it for book club tomorrow night, I wasn't familiar with it until I had to read it but it's a lovely story. So here I am sitting in the sun blogging and finishing my book.
I've never read 'Dracula,' so that's next on the list.
And in case you are wondering, there may or may not be gin in my drink, and that may or may not be the Dior book in this week's Happy Friday give-away. Like the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books of my childhood, I'll let you decide on that one ;)

I love reading... so HAPPY reading!!! heehehehe...I also should catch up on some of the novels I've been buying but haven't yet got around to reading~~~
I used to walk into the city every saturday morning and pick up fresh flowers for my apartment and get fresh pastries from the local patisserie. *sigh* those were the days!
i love your shoes and those flowers are so sweet.

Those shoes are from Ebony M aren't they?
Hm... 'Utz' sounds interesting, I might read that next.
Have you read a book by Patrick Süskind called 'Perfume'? I think you would enjoy it!
Lady Melbourne I must ask - who takes all the beautiful photos you put up on your blog? Do you enlist in the support of friends and His Lordship, or do you use a tripod when you can?
I just finished reading The Alchemist - a few years behind the rest of the world, but better late than never!

HEY, i have a chair like that, that I just reuppolstered!
Lovely flowers - I bet they look amazing all over your house :) I've always wanted to read Dracula too :)
I'd like to think there is Gin in that glass ;)
Love your shoes. Flowers are beautiful too.
That's a very chic and simple casual outfit - and is that a Dior book I spy? I'm loving those penguin classics, picking one up before the trainride home has definitely become an addiction for me!
I loved those choose your own adventure books! I still have a couple stacked up in my bookshelf =)
Lady Melbourne-
I must firstly say that I ADORE your blog and frequently bookmark your posts for outfit inspiration :)
I have (just yesterday) finished Year 12 and as a fellow Melbourne girl, I found myself perusing the Course Guide for the University of Melbourne. I was instantly taken by the appearance of the covergirl of my guide- could it be that our own Lady Melbourne was a Melbourne student herself? Or perhaps more simply a model brought in for the photoshoot? Or just a random girl who bears a striking resemblance to our favourite local blogger? The mind boggles... :)

Much love,

You might have the coolest header/font in the entire blogosphere. I just adore it {almost as much as I adore those shoes!}
Cheers.
mmm. books. delicious books. I do like the new cheapie penguins.
You are going to love "Dracula".

MannequinMe- I have read Perfume, and we did it for book club last year as well. You are correct, the heels are from Ebony M.
Poppy Gets a Life- don't worry, I know there are books out there that are positive classics that I haven't got to either :)
I take all my own photos, I have a digital SLR camera and two tri-pods. You can read about it in my profile.
