It's been raining a decent amount here in northern New Jersey, but last Tuesday it rained beautifully. I mean it was really coming down! I took this picture of my sunroof taking a liquid beating as I sat in my car to finish some homework. Rain makes me positively happy. About as happy as this song by the Cowsills.
"I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn't seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me
And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She could make me happy (happy, happy)
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere
I love the flower girl..."

"Suddenly the sun broke through..." so we took a stroll through my favorite Jersey town: Montclair.

Aren't these tulips gorgeous? I'm smitten with their color. Aside from Texas bluebonnets being my number one flower (half because they're truly gorgeous, half based on home-state bias), I don't think I could ever pick a favorite; there's so many with each redefining "beautiful". Do you have a favorite?
We found an eyeglass store in Montclair that was willing and able to put lenses in my vintage 50's cat eye frames. I'm really excited since I've had them sitting in my closet for almost a year now, waiting to be filled for showing off how awesome they are wear. I am not, however, excited about the cost. But when I get them back on Tuesday, I know dollar signs will be far from my mind. They're super bitchin'!
Happy Sunday, pretty birds!
Oh the pictures next to those beautiful tulips are so gorgeous!!

ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you :D That's a really sweet compliment. Smiling is my middle name.
DeleteHow do you always look so cute and adorable? :)
ReplyDeleteI try really, really hard ;)
DeleteI can't wait to see the glasses! My favorite flowers are orchids and lilies.
ReplyDeleteThe pics look great.
I pick them up today! Yay!!
DeleteOrchids and lilies huh? I'll have to tell Carl that. ;)
Thank you, my love ♥
Carl isn't in the hot seat anymore, remember? =)
DeleteDerp! Oh yeah!
DeleteThe rain picture is so pretty. I love the rain. It has been soooo hot here, I am really hoping the forecast is right and there are thunderstorms tonight :]
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty dress! I love tulips. They are one of my top favorite flowers for sure. I love that the pop up around my birthday and come in just about every color.
The glasses will be so worth it!
I love that rain picture, thanks! I didn't know it was hot in Chicago. I thought it was like uber cold almost year round.??
DeleteThank you, Allison! And I can't wait to get my frames today! :)
We just planted tulips in our front yard and I am so excited about it. I love how bold the color is :) I'm a huge fan of the rain…except for when I have to cancel photosessions because of it. That's always a stinker…like I had to for tonight :( Boo! You are adorable btw!
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds really pretty! What colors? Or wait, can you pick which color tulips you wanna plant or do they just pop up randomly? LOL That's probably the stupidest question I've ever asked. :S
DeleteThanks, Violet! :)
Such a pretty picture of the rain...looks so calming..I love rainy days..well I especially love shopping on rainy days lol...and cute cute cute outfit girl! You never fail! Can we get some photo bloopers..a ripped stocking..a hair out of place..something lol...your style is perfection..Love it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, everytime it rains now I think of you saying that those are the best shopping days! Only we always forget to go to the mall when it does. Boo.
DeleteThanks, love! I actually have a post I'm getting ready with all sorts of silly bloopers haha! Those are hilarious and I figured it would be a nice little change of things.
LOVE your bag! So cute! I love when we get to see your tattoos... and yes, those tulips are amazing! Mine have not bloomed yet but I hope they will soon. Did I mention I love your outfit? Cause I do!

DeleteYou're so lucky living where you do - there's all sorts of green and colorful flowery goodness there!
i think i'd like rain more if we didnt have it so much :( it rains all the time in the uk, i miss the sun!! You look gorgeous as always Roni, love how you remixed the outfit with different shoes and accessories!xx
ReplyDeleteThat's why I would LURVE to live in the UK! Always has been a dream of mine. Hopefully it can come true one day.
DeleteThanks, girl! xo
supercute song! i never mind the rain anyway. love the glasses! xx
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the song! It's such a feel-good classic :)
DeleteThank you!!
That song just makes me smile :) I love the rain as well (as long as I can stay in bed all day) but I miss the Southern storms. I swear the storms up here are babies compared to the whoppers we get in Texas.
ReplyDeleteSouthern storms are the best, I've always said that! There's something about the way the thunder rumbles in Texas...ah! It just doesn't rumble like that anywhere else. I miss that.
