I'm pretty sure that a plaid shirt and a hydrangea inspired headpiece were not meant as bedfellows but for some reason I think it works just perfectly. I just bought the headpiece and I love the fact that it looked so vintage and the colour is perfect. And then I just NEEDED to wear it right away. Do you ever get that? The perfect setting for such a headband is probably a tea party in an English garden (regular events really...) but the weekend called for drinks out for a friend's birthday and so that was the big debut of the headband.
WARNING: landscape tangent ahead... Did you know a lot of Hydrangeas have difficulties blossoming in Southern Ontario? Apparently it's too cold in the winter and the buds that contain next years flowers die back... They are the bane of my existence, I always feel like a landscape failure when they don't blossom (though the leaves are pretty by themselves too). This year, after plenty of research, I decided to mulch the bases and burlap the stalks of the stupid things... so much extra attention, I might as well read them bedtime stories too as I clearly tucked them in for the winter. Maybe next summer they will reward me with countless blossoms. If not, this headband will have to do...

this post cracked me up, and i love the headband (and the shirt, of course). your writing is sincerely terrific. maybe a career as a humor writer is in the cards...?
What a fun and unexpected combination! A bit of sexy lady lumberjack, perhaps? ;)
You totally can pull off badass flower enthusiast: that headband is even better on a spooky tennis court than it would be in a garden. The last two shots look oddly sexy; you know what I mean, I'm not being weird! I also love hearing about your landscaping. More, please!

you make that unlikely combination rock! and being a brown-thumbed lady myself, it is always a pleasure to hear from plant experts on their techniques... very interesting...
oops, forgot to mention... I love your eye makeup!
I love how you rock the tartan and the denim so well. 'Lumberjack', right? (I think I may be secretly Canadian. I know I have a not-so-secret Canadian fetish caused by LM Montgomery and Constable Benton Fraser RCMP.) And OF COURSE with a hydrangea! Why not! Here in northern New Zealand hydrangeas grow wild on the side of the road, so I have no tips to share on nurturing them . .
Yay, I love that headband!!
Pretty! Love the headpiece!
I love that headpiece -- you look like a rock star in those photos. The lighting in the last photos make them look dramatic and a little like movie stills - very cool! - JoAnn, Sidewalk Chalk
Love the juxtaposition! Yeah, that's right, I used a big word...
Looooove those jeans. They look amazing on you!
I love your jeans!
