Cherry-Flavored Neck and Collar

I wore this to go get lunch last Sunday, it was quite mild last weekend and I didn't even need a scarf. However the temperature has dropped significantly over the past few days. Wouldn't Winter be so much more pleasant if the sun was out and there were blue skies every day?

The post title is from one of my favourite songs, E-Bow the Letter by REM. The song features Patti Smith on vocals and was what first introduced me to her music. I was lucky enough to get to see her in a packed tent at Electric Picnic this year. Apparently the song was written about a letter Michael Stipe wrote for River Phoenix but never got to send. It's the most beautiful song. If you don't already know it please listen,

Fluorescent and Starry, Some of Them They Surprise

Today I had planned to take some outfit photos during the day but I didn't get a chance, so we took these in a lane near our apartment on the way back from the cinema (we went to see Mr. Nice).

I bought this polka dot dress on Ebay last year and altered it. It's not a great photo of it, I'll get a better one some other time!

I bought this Ruby Slippers scrabble tile pendant from Artyscapes on Etsy

So I dyed my hair tonight! I'll take some photos of it at the Vintage Fashion Fair in Dun Laoghaire tomorrow. It's not quite what I had in mind but I really like it. I already have another colour planned to try out once this one fades.

Is anyone watching the X Factor? Matt and Rebecca are my faves! Hope you're all having a great weekend so far!

This and Country Feedback are my favourite REM songs. Amazing Lyrics!

Love,

Em xxx
