Mi Familia




Yesterday afternoon, I met my mama and my lovely cousin Melissa at Crepeville for a drink and a chat. We had a wonderful time.  

Ayer por la tarde, me encontré con mi madre y mi hermosa prima Melissa en Crepeville para tomar una copa y charlar. Tuvimos un tiempo maravilloso.

Not the most flattering photos of yours truly. But I really loved my "Grey Gardens" outfit. And my cousin looked tres guapa in her Parisienne striped top, leather jacket and amazing booties. Isn't she lovely? Mama Q, never shy of color was also decked out in her bold color combination of red/orange. Her hair isn't really that grey; it's residue from a Halloween costume she wore the night before. See, I got my love of costume from somebody. 

No las fotos más halagador de su servidor. Pero realmente me amaba a mi equipe "Grey Gardens".  Y mi primo parecía guapa Tres en su chaqueta de rayas Parisienne parte superior de cuero y botines increíbles. ¿Es bonita? Mamá Q, que nunca pierden de color fue cubierta también en su combinación de colores audaces de rojo / naranja. Su pelo no es tan gris, es residuo de un disfraz de Halloween que llevaba la noche anterior. Mira, yo tengo mi amor de traje de alguien.

I loved your cape and I was disappointed to learn that your momma's grey curls weren't entirely the real thing. I thought her hair looked lovely!

Ashley [Free Honey] said...

Ohhh Bella. I can't even tell you how much I love your cape. i hope you wear it often because it might actually be perfection in cloak form. Your cousin is adorable, too!

And I'm glad you shared these pics even though you didn't love how you look in them, because I love them.

xoxo, Ashley
