What and Where
Sometimes, I like to pretend that I'm somewhere else and it's generally to places that are sunny, tropical and hot, not warm - HOT! Like tonight during downward dog at a sweaty Power Yoga class, I dream about lounging on the beach, sipping cold margaritas and digging my toes on the grainy, white sand while ceremoniously applying sunscreen.
Oh, they say I'm a dreamer... but I'm not the only one!
After what seems to be days of grey clouds (side note: you guys left me wonderful comments that I, if I may quote, "rock grey!" like in this post and that post. What a fine way to make a girl feel so good!), what better way to get out of the funk than to put on a cheery, floral dress and pile on the pearls!
Yesterday, I posted about something that I thought was so personal and intimate that after I hit publish post, I hesitated and thought, maybe I shouldn't have. I've always wanted to keep the tone of this blog very positive and uplifting and yesterday's post wasn't quite that.
But then again, if I said I was just so deliriously happy, that would be lying now, wouldn't it? Ah, woes - to post or not to post! One thing for sure is that you have all been generous with your love and support and for that, I cannot thank you enough.
Merci, merci beaucoup!
As for The Easiest Blog Project Ever, I know you've asked for a little more details and so here goes: It will be the comfiest and coziest post you've ever done! I know, it's that easy!

There is no better way to brighten your mood then dressing up. Okay well maybe shopping but dressing up is a second. You look smashing darling!
Cheers,

Yeah! Sipping margaritas, wearing beautiful floral dress, body massage by the beach, enjoying the sunset, dinner by the seafront, sipping cocktails under the moonlight, stargazing...its endless! It's only possible in the Philippines this summer :) see yah my bestie!
Digging your tropical look. And since I was born in the tropics, warm is just NOT warm enough for me. I like it HOT!
I always love the looks I get when I can winterize a summer outfit: there's always an initial look of shock, followed by a look of approval/amazement, followed by a wistful look of fond memories. Really, dressing like you today is a public service, helping everyone get through winter! (Especially since I hear Southern Ontario and the Prairies have switched weather patterns for a few days - I'm loving the just below freezing temperatures we've been having!)
How's your day going, Sweetheart? We're thinking about you.
loving the bright color!! makes me want spring to be here now!!:)
I like to pretend it's warm and sunny too...and it will be soon enough!

Oh, you gorgeous, gorgeous creature. You never cease to amaze me!
You could always come to Florida for some sun and margaritas. I'll definitely drink with you!
You are a super model. :) Let's go visit Mel! Wanna, wanna?!
It's so cool to see you in such a bright color. Love the coral tones -- it looks so great against your skin tone!
Hope you're having a much better Wednesday. Still thinking positive thoughts for you!

Gorgeous dress!
You rock everything you wear because you have this incredibly contagious empowered attitude that we definitely need to see more of in women. 2 months till SPRINGGGGGGGG!
I like how you are rocking that hat.
The earrings and dress are nice too.

AH! Dreaming of warm days already? Are you trapped in a snowstorm like me? That dress is so pretty and brings back memories, my mom had something like that from the eighties,it's really fun I love it! Thanks for your kind words on my blog and if you have time enter my giveaway I added another Urban Decay goody to the lot XOXO
You're a real tease about the blog project. Hoping it is easy as I am doing another 2 (or 3) at the same time and would like something simple. :-) Hope all went well for you today.
Lovely outfit, and I love your hat! x
Such a great dress color! I love that you wear it to cheer you up on gloomy days, great idea :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Love this warm breath of tropic breeze that I sense while looking at this coral-licious dress! So pretty - I was waxing on about the tropics today, too!
ML, you're hot and fierce. I'm so redundant with my repetitive comments. Tell me you don't get tired of my relentless adoration of how ON you are every time you pose. None of that shy little girl looking down and twirling poses ... love it, missy!
