White boys a-shirt: Simply Basic (Wal-Mart). Heather grey dress: Maple (Hong Kong). Necklaces: Tryst by Kerry, B*jeweled Vintage, and Urban Outfitters. Black ribbed knee socks: H&M. Flats: Zara.

My aunt bought me this dress while she was in Hong Kong and I was cleaning up after her eight (!) cats. That day I went to the Jays game and it was all-you-can-eat. The dress was perfect for hiding the stomach bulge after consuming all that junk food. My friend and I topped off the afternoon with super yummy mango gelato from Dolce. It's all I've been able to think about since.

Yum Yum Yum. Isn't the colour of the mango gelato perfect?

It is! I had the mango and the fragola and the two colours looked so pretty together.

Thank you, though there's a little program called Photoshop to dot away the blemishes ;) The nailpolish is navy blue -- Rehab by Lippman Collection. I only like it so-so though. It goes on very sheer and three coats still doesn't look opaque enough to me.

You're in a mango gelato-induced open-eye coma! But you look good!

eight cats??!! that must have been quite a handful

oh, it most certainly was. They totally abused me too by missing the litter box -- something they don't do when my aunt is the one who cleans up after them.
