Dottie for Polk-a-dots

August 1, 2012 by suzanne carillo

I hadn't thought of combining polk-a-dots with more polk-a-dots until today. Yep, I'm just wild and crazy like that.

Since one of the dots is substantially larger than the other and the dots are inverted on the shorts I can get away with it. At least I figure I can. Do you think I'm starting to look like someone from a Seurat or Lichtenstein canvas?

There is a bit of a retro vibe with the bow on the blouse and the wing tipped shoes that I think Mr. Lichenstein would have approved of.

Daytime Discoveries

July 31, 2012 by suzanne carillo

I fell in love with this little floral and lace skirt years ago while on a trip to NYC. That Anthropologie store at Rockefeller Plaza is one of my favorites. I always manage to find some treasure to take home with me.

We took these photos on one of what I like to call one of our "discovery days". Hazel and I have been taking little day trips around southern Ontario discovering unique picturesque towns and villages. These shots were taken just outside of Georgetown at a lovely old stone church situated beside a creek. While we were there people were floating down the creek in inner tubes. It sure looked like fun considering the crazy heat that day. We were both tempted to toss off our shoes and join them. Instead we found a quaint air conditioned cafe and sipped some refreshing homemade lemonade.
