My mom has some delightful roses blooming by her house. They look, smell and feel divine – makes me want to become a Thumbelina and live in one! Until that happens, I can pretend…
Close-up of the socks
- Jacket: Lord & Taylor
- Dress: belted nightgown (really!)
- Purse: Forever 21
- Socks: BetseyJohnson
- Shoes: Nine West
- Hair bow: hand-made
- Lipstick: Centrifuchsia – also used as blush! Looks surprisingly natural!
Can’t wait for the rose-themed picnic this Saturday – I’m making pink cupcakes with rose frosting & rose-tingled lemonade! Gonna be epic. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
I still need Centrifuschia Lipstick!!!
And your mom’s roses are so sweet!!! perfectly tone of light pink !!!
Wow! Absolutely gorgeous !

I wish I had a friend who was as creative and stylish as you!!! Instead, I’ll be that friend haha! Is it too late to RSVP for your birthday event for Saturday? I just have to find you a present :)

I actually dabbed some Centrifuchsia on my cheeks – came out great, I’m going to continue doing this!

That’s such a great idea! In times of need I have dabbed it on my cheeks and even eyes…its come out great!
You look so ethereal-love the photos!
You’re so lovely Doe!!! The photos are awesome, too. I want to go to your mom’s garden, it’s like a paradise.
Your make-up looks really ncie here, not too overpowering!
I think the look would be prettier with either the socks or the jacket, but not both!

Yay, so happy someone digs it. ;)
Hi lovely Doe….
Hope all is well with you! xoxoxooxoxoxoxooxoxo la la la…
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY! I will not be able to make your party :( but i did have a gift.
Can you email me your address or a place where i can it it to. I’ll email you.
Hope it’s a good one. I’m sure it will be. Take tons of photos. I have an event to go to, where i have to present a painting :( so i can’t go, but i know i’ll make one for sure. Big Rose hug

Good luck with your painting, Jessie! We must get together some other time. xo
“Also used as blush.” That’s awesome. I need to try that sometime. :D

I loved how it looks on me, you should try it. xo
You look lovely! The bow is really cute in your hair.
I hope you have a great time at the picnic, I wish I could go.
i dont’ think i’ve told you this yet, but i LOVE you in short hair. i think it looks amazing. especially in that second photo.
another reason why i came back to visit? i brought 4 of your lipsticks to school to show a friend, and i left my make-up pouch on the table and just did my own thing. that night when i went back home and opened my pouch, someone had nicked, yes, stolen, two of my lime crime lipsticks!!
i’m so pissed!!

Thanks Gilda! I absolutely love having it short! And omg, I’m so sorry somebody stole your lipsticks. :(
So beautiful pictures, and so cute outfit! x
Beautiful outfit and I had no idea you were wearing a nightgown, that’s a great idea. I also love your hair bow, I have also seen some of your other hand-made accessories which are amazing. I must try making a hair accessory. :)
OMG! I love the layering of the different floral patterns! It just works. I love the fact that your dress is actually a nightgown!! I actually have a couple floral gowns that I’ve always wondered how they’d look as a dress…yay, now I might try it!!
And I must say, your socks and heels/sandals thing is really starting to grow on me! I think whether it works all depends on which ones you choose and the attitude you put behind it. I saw online the other day these plastic-y flip-flop-tube-sock-combo things, and they freaked me out a little, but your method is spot-on. :)
Love the look, the haircut makes your features look so delicate.
I saw the title of the post and had a scary Bon Jovi flashback. Oh dear. :D
Aw Doe you look so super gorgeous, yummi :D
Really reeeally pretty.
I’m now going to start trying to style my hair, btw..
I’ve been fearing to hair style, because everytime I tried when I was kid, it would just look uglier. You see, my hair is all volumy and curly – and I have the part of the volume.
Do you have any tips, when you started doing your hair?
Hi Dear!!!
Sometime ago I found your pictures on the internet and I got fascinated.
Now, I finally found your website and I just can’t stop visiting it!
I’m from Brasil and I know that here in Brasil there are many fans of you!!!
Congrats for your beautiful career and I hope one day I will be able to buy one of your lipsticks!!!!!!!!
kisses
Verônica

That’s so sweet of you to say, Veronica! Lime Crime loves Brasil, in fact we just set up a Twitter account especially for you!
Doe, your outfit photos are absolute AMAZING. The colours, the locations – perfection!
This might be a dumb question – except for mascara I’m a total make-up virgin – but is there anything on your eyelids? I’m asking because I really like this look – strong lips, but very subtle eyes – and I’m thinking about trying it out.
By the way, as a make-up virgin I’d love to read some ‘make up for beginners’ post written by you. Because, seriously, it’s incredibly easy to get lost in all the products. So many bases, fluids, pigments, gels, powders… omg, do I need all of this? lost!

Hi Aro,
I’m not wearing anything on my lids. Just mascara on lashes. xo
Straight out of Vogue magazine!
