I love roses so much! They are little miracles from nature. Many of the vintage brooches in my collection are roses. But they also have so many different meanings :)
“Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.” (Mark Overby)
“Life is a rose; beware of the thorns.” (unknown)
“Man is harder than iron, stronger than stone and more fragile than a rose.” (Turkish proverb)
“He who wants a rose must respect the thorn.” (Persian proverb)
Dress: Forever 21
Shoes: Xhilaration (from Target)
Hairband: Anthropologie
you are a beautiful rose :)

I agree with Margaret! Beautiful!
The fragance always remains in the hand that gives the rose~unknown
Here is a link when you have the time to
read up on the medicinal benifits of the
rose click Flassie
There will be another link where she has
written more about the rose.
God Bless You and Yours!!!

Perfect with the polka dotted belt. And I love your pose against the beautiful backdrop. Well, I think I just love everything in this post!!!

I've caught up on reading this blog... such a gorgeous collection of outfits... I don't need to read Vogue or any other fashion mag. You are a master of color and that is rare to see!
