I really want to add a sparkle covered or lame frock (or both!) to my wardrobe and this would have fit the bill sublimely. <br /><br />Thank you deeply for your immensely lovely compliment.

Even warmly dressed it was lovely to smell the sea air, walk on the sand and watch the brave surfers and scuba-divers in action. So I'm feeling surprisingly drawn to this under-the-sea theme!<br /><br />Also, I do love The Little Mermaid! I have memories of watching it as a child too. I haven't seen it in some years, but the songs are on my regular playlist! They are some of the best, in my opinion.

It's funny—so many people hate and castigate Disney, and surely the films have their issues, but so many girls, like yourself, have found something to aspire to in their films, and it's not always the snotty "princess" attitude, thank goodness. Though I wish there were more male characters for little boys, the movies do show that with persistence we can overcome a lot of obstacles while occasionally even giving us some character development (for instance, IIRC, Ariel tearfully and lovingly kissing her father goodbye from the ship's deck after he'd given her what she so desired; she realized he'd always deeply loved her and wished to protect her, even if that meant painfully restricting her). I think "Brave" is another look at the same theme, in a way.<br /><br />Also, to my mind, there's much to be said for the fantasy element; it can be an introduction to the world of the classical liberal arts, without which our world would be so cold. <br /><br />So many pretty finds, and a unique take on the nautical theme that seems to roll around every summer (as the granddaughter of a sailor, I do NOT mind this)—it's fanciful and sweet, reminding us of the bounty of the sea.<br /><br />Also: That octopus soap would also be a superb gift for any Detroit Red Wings fan. I may have to pick up a few bars to give to family for the start of the season this fall! That hardly fits in with the theme here, but I could not help thinking that. ;) Have a great weekend! I hope you find more birthday fun.

Where does the time go...) and vividly remember sitting in a group on the floor of my friends house for her Little Mermaid themed birthday party (we all dressed like mermaids to go) and singing to every song as we looked up to the TV watching the movie after we ate cake. <br /><br />I'm still a big TLM fan, even as an adult. There is a professional musical theatre company here in Winnipeg called Rainbow Stage and they are producing the Canadian premier of the Broadway version of The Little Mermaid in August!! EEEEEEE!!! I'm totally geeking out about it. <br />I've already bought my tickets. Many of my colleagues are in the show and I'm elated to see them perform in it. <br /><br />Glad to hear you had a wonderful birthday. :)<br />Lisa.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496217916948996526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-72964703840128506152014-07-11T07:14:20.530-07:002014-07-11T07:14:20.530-07:00I have always loved mermaids, was convinced I was ...I have always loved mermaids, was convinced I was one when I was a little girl, and perhaps really was one in a previous life. I love these mermaid-inspired pieces, particularly the lucite clip-ons. Along with mermaids, I've always been fascinated by marine life and films and books about underwater adventures. Always one for a theme, I definitely try to channel mermaids when I don my pearls, abalone shell earrings, and mother of pearl jewelry. It's such fun to adopt a persona and feel transported through fashion!<br /><br />Thanks too for sharing some of your journey and how you related to and sought refuge in The Little Mermaid. The best stories are the ones that allow us to do that. :-)<br /><br /><3 Liz<br />www.withwonderandwhimsy.comwithwonderandwhimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01485628552140369759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-531136031581978042014-07-11T07:02:37.173-07:002014-07-11T07:02:37.173-07:00I love everything thing about this post... except ...I love everything thing about this post... except for how very old you've made me feel! The Little Mermaid is 25, how can that be?! Like you, I vividly remember watching for the first time (and on a loop, thereafter), referring to forks and dinglehoppers, and singing the songs while swimming in the pool. <br /><br />Living by the sea always makes me want to add more ocean inspired pieces to my wardrobe, and now, thinking of Ariel, I'm wanting to grow my hair out, purchase that gorgeous hair comb and go lounge on the beach in high mermaid style!<br /><br />Though I refuse to believe you've turned the big 3-0, I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
