Star of jasmine is one of my favorite flowers. Or maybe it's considered a plant? Or maybe even a vine? Regardless, it's beautiful and has such a fragrant smell. Star of jasmine covers the gate going into my parents house so it always makes homecomings that much sweeter. Whenever I see it somewhere else I immediately think of home. When Matthew and I found this patch the other day we had to take some photos and breathe it in.

Still no word on the apartment. The lady said she'd know by tomorrow so we're still keeping our fingers crossed, although we're not holding our breath. If we don't get this one I know we'll find the right one soon enough. I just can't wait to really unpack and get settled into "our" home. It will be such a nice relief!
Enjoy the rest of your afternoon!

That is my favorite smell! I love when spring rolls around and all the plants bloom. Yum!
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely little skirt that is! I just bought a royal purple skirt today at a sample sale. you might have to help me figure out what to wear with it.
ReplyDeleteyou're right about the apartment hunt. you'll find something and if you don't get this one, that means that there will just be something better around the corner.

Flowering jasmine has to be the most amazing scent on earth... I love it when you turn a random corner in a rather unremarkable place and you're hit with fragrance from a nearby bush. Amazing. And I love that outfit, every piece is quite different but all work so well together; I especially love the skirt!
ReplyDeleteMoving into "our" home was one of the most exciting things about being a newly wed! Hope you get into your place soon :) x
ReplyDeleteI love this last photo. It feels like it's from the 70's.
ReplyDeleteYou look so gorgeous, Mara! I love your skirt.
