    I know how to fishtail! I used to do them on my friends perfectly, but they are rather lumpy when I do them on myself, sadly.

    Lovely post.

    Would you believe I love the 'yellow & grey' combination? My friend got this new bedspread that I adore. The two colors together are just so modern and pretty.

    I love birds and flowers, or bird that look like they're cut out of paper. Birds make me happy :)

    Yes, I do notcie something different! Cool new look Olivia! I really like it! :) And yes, sadly the week is getting closer to the end, but the lovely thing is that it will always start again next week! :)

    @Charlotte: That is EXACTLY what I had in mind when I set up this shot! "Time for my cake and milk, for my milk and cake!" There's rarely cake in the house so I was psyched beyond words to have my cake and milk. It's chocolate with strawberry cream cheese frosting. :)

    @Shelley: Oof, is that sarcasm? I'm counting the days until summer vacation.

    @Anna Gray: I don't think it would ship very well. ;)

    @Amanda: It's like a braid but it has four strands instead of three.

    Okay, the new design is beautiful. It's so clean, simple, and fresh, yet so captivating.

    P.S. I'm not sure if you watch American Idol, but you look SO much like Haley Reinhart! (Which is a huge compliment because I think she is gorgeous.)

    Lovely post, as always!

    And now I want Cake. Bad.

    I love to fish tail, once me and my friends sat around and watched movies and did fish tails. :)

    I like the new design by the way, MUCH better than the old one.

    Oh, and I'm dying to see more of your own photography. It's so pretty, and there hasn't been much of it, just fashion posts. You're such a good photographer and I love seeing your work!

    Anything new? Well, only a pretty new blog layout! Love it.
    And it's refreshing to see just snippets of life in between the fashion.
    Fishtail plaits look beautiful. I'm attempting to learn.

    Olivia,

    Would it be okay if I didn't put the giveaway button on my Liquid Sunshine blog post? I don't have access to a computer that can copy and paste right now, so is a link okay?

    Love. Your. Blog {smile} .
