An Ode to Orla
My heart you’ve captured once again
Oh how I wish we could be friends
These pieces are fun, delightful and sweet
You had me staring at each of them at the edge of my seat
Your eye for color, pattern and femininity
Influences my taste and inspires my creativity
Perfect attire for a date or a brunch or a stylish play day
Perfect attire for the evening, a wedding or a summer soiree
I bid thee adieu, but know I’ll be checking back soon
To be inspired by your creations that will, no doubt, make me swoon!
I’m not a writer by any means, but I just thought I’d change things up a bit and after all, it is a Monday. Definitely check out Orla Kiely’s latest fashionable endeavors here!

Haha, you crack me up. That ode is so good, and so true. Love this collection, but hate that it most likely doesn’t fit into my budget… curse you frugality!

Ok, there is not a thing on your board that I wouldn’t wear. In fact, I am desperate for dress in box #13. Wonderful, Vivian!

That poem pretty much sums up how I feel about Orla.
She gets it right every time. LOVE each piece!

So pretty and chic, I love this! To answer your question in my last post, I know enough Italian to get by…the basics. It improves all the time but I still have a long way to go to be fluent!

Thank you so much for the comment on my site! I am so very far from an H&M, so I am jealous that you are getting one! I am shocked that Texas didn’t have one yet. Anyway, I love so many of those cute dresses and tops… so glad they entered fashion land – it’s love!
