Guest Blogger: Give Me Bows

Hi lovely Shades of Monet readers!
My name is Elyse and I write a little blog called Give Me Bows. I am so excited to do a guest post for the super-sweet-and-oh-so-stylish Marisa while she settles into her new home. I have been very fortunate to make (online) friends with Marisa over the past few months, and we definitely have a mutual obsession with vintage clothing, floral prints and dresses!






This is an outfit I wore to brunch on the weekend. We go to brunch every single Sunday at one of our local cafes to enjoy a lonnngggg breakfast with lots of coffee and magazines - it's so refreshing, and the perfect excuse to get dolled up! Although it can be really tempting to stay in my comfortably pajamas all weekend long, I really do find that I have a much better attitude towards the day, and I am way more productive, when I take the time each morning to put on an outfit I enjoy and feel comfortable in. 


Besides, life is too short and every day is precious, that is definitely a good enough excuse by itself to wear something you love! I don't think it should matter whether you have a special occasion or you are just lounging around the house. Wishing you all a lovely day x

Thank you so much sweet Elyse, for filling in the gap here for me on Shades of Monet while I continue to unpack my little heart out.  Please be sure to have a look around her oh so perfectly pretty blog, Give Me Bows...you are sure to swoon over her dreamy collection of dresses just like I do:)

Happy first of December darlings...I bid you a sweet night!
Love bunches,

    AH. You are SO ADORABLE. I love this look. It is so flirty and feminine and I LOVE IT. You are such a doll. Really. Whenever I come to your blog, I just want to shrink you and dress you up in little clothes.

    That sounds creepy.

    I should go...
