The Yellow Dress

Hi Ladies!

It has been a long weekend for us -  Previously Victoria Day but now for us rebellious Quebecois it is called National Patriot's Day  -The holiday was instated by the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec in Council in 2003, according to the then Premier of Quebec Bernard Landry"to underline the importance of The struggle of Patriots between 1837-1838 for the national recognition of our people, for its political liberty and to obtain a democratic system of government.

Perfect time to wear this gorgeous yellow maxi I purchased a few ago
The necklace was purchased at a vintage shop called  La Boheme in the Mile End

This is the way i wanted it

Art Set is pretty amazing

It looks like you have been using oil or acrylic paint

For me i will use it a sketch pad- run my ideas, try concepts, ideas - and transpose them on real canvas

OOOh! Summer has arrived!! The citrus punch of the dress and your hair is delightful and I love the necklace.

You look totally glam.

Melanie said...

Bonjour you stunning goddess in brilliant yellow! This is one of my favourites outfits on you. (I keep saying that...) It's a pretty simple colour palette but you don't need more obviously. I would much rather celebrate National Patriot's Day than Queen Victoria Day. Gorgeous hair. I love your idea about the new blogger award, by the way. Let's brainstorm.

OMG! You look so gorgeous in dress, Ariane. Love your artwork too.:)

Forest City Fashionista said...

That is the perfect dress for a warm and sunny long weekend! The necklace looks great with the dress - a nice pop of red against the yellow.
I really liked your red hair, but you can wear blonde as well, and it's good to change things up once in a while!

pastcaring said...

Wow, your blonder hair and fabulous yellow frock are all about the sunshine! You look so great, love the sunglasses. You sound busy and happy - sunny, in fact! xxxx

Emily Joyce said...

You look so sun-shinny! Yellow is a good color for you, and you look good in the Maxi style dress! Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend :)

That lemony hue suits you. Very summery, too.
"Rebellious Quebecois"...I can relate in a way, as I am American Southerner. :)
Your art is very joyous.
Have a lovely weekend!
