Secret garden





Went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens yesterday for the first time.   Talk about Alice in Wonderland?

Click below to see what I mean.  Absolutely bloody gorgeous  >>>




Lace romper: Urban Outfitters (this is similar). Sandals: Steve Madden. Panama: New Orleans hat shop. Cross necklace: W hotel boutique (Similar in silver here or gold here). Bag: NY street vendor (here's the other colour). Shades: Ray Ban. African bracelet: Gift from Africa. Finger nails: Mint Candy Apple by Essie


Why did Michael and me wait this long to visit???  The flowers.  The scenery.  The landscaping. Everything. I was (annoyingly) saying 'wow' every few seconds.

I wore a romper found on clearance at Urban Outfitters with lace up sandals and the panama seen before in this New Orleans post.

I think we'll be going back to see the rest of the garden.  We didn't even see it all but so glad to see what we did.
