fly away with me?

I love the sight of hot air balloons. When I lived in my old apartment, I had an excellent view of hot air balloons flying above Melbourne almost every morning at sunrise. It sure beats the view of solid walls that I see these days from this place.

I was inspired to "scribble" on my photo after seeing Lisa's Likes.

I got this top ages ago, but have never gotten around to wearing it in this chilly weather (it's a tank top). I discovered it one day in a shop I hadn't been to before, and I instantly fell in love with the print - and the fact that it was on sale.

top - Side Show Design; skirt - Melbourne Central (remember?); cardi - Target; necklace - made by me using an old charm.

Have a wonderful weekend!!

I love the sight of hot air balloons, too. Seeing them at sunrise must have been spectacular. Have you ever taken a ride in one? I've always wanted to.

Your top is adorable! As are your necklace and photo scribbles :)

Gosh that sounds like magic!! I remember one of the prettiest things about Rome when I was there was seeing the hot airballoon rise over the Borghesa Gardens every morning!

Gorgeous outfit and theme dear Anna! Your illustrations on the wall are amazing. I don't think I've ever seen a hot air balloon in person? Must've been great to see them regularly and for free!

Wouldn't it be amazing if your wall actually looked like that? It looks fantastic!

I don't think I've seen hot air balloons many times in my life as we definitely don't have them around here, but they surely are great. I'd be afraid to be in one though!

I used to see the hot air balloons regularly too when I lived in Hawthorn. Now I'm too far south of the city to see them : ( though I did catch a glimpse of one a few weeks back - such a nice surprise : ) I think of them as good luck omens - is that weird?

Rebecca said...

What an adorable top! I don't think I've ever seen a hot air balloon in real life, but I love how they look!
