Caturday

DRESS: ℅ Hello Harriet HEADSCARF: ASOS SOCKS: American Apparel TOTE: ℅ Hello Harriet

Long time no see! As always when I disappear for periods of time, I've been buried under work/stress BUT I can finally blog again now that I've fought my way out of it! ;___; What better way to kick things off with a handmade pink cat dress?!

The dress in question being this darling number by Hello Harriet. I've been following Harriet for years now (!) and have always been in love with her drawings of the original grumpy cat. Harriet recently expanded her line of cat adorned pieces to include dresses. And she sent me one.

Made in a smock silhouette and covered in Harriet's signature kitties, this is without a doubt one of the cutest dresses in my wardrobe! The first smock dress I have owned, it has definitely converted me - it's just such an easy, playful shape! This dress is also really beautifully made and I can imagine it styled in so many ways - I think I'm going to wear it with a detachable collar next!

I paired it with a tote Harriet was generous enough to send me as well - it has a grouchy looking cat saying "no"…! Hearts in my eyes!

Lately I've been wearing my makeup a lil different! I've been trying to teach myself how to do eyeshadow ~looks, and I'm super into this dramatic purple eyeshadow inspired by 60s icon Catherine Deneuve. AND I finally taught myself how to apply false eyelashes and it is game changing. Anyhoo, sorry if this is boring but I'm super excited about it haha :'))

Super excited to be blogging again and I'll be back with more outfits soooon!! Love you guys <3

Witchy

DRESS: Pop Boutique at ASOS (similar) SOCKS: ℅ Sock It To Me HAIR CLIP: ℅ Hair Dessert
BAG: ℅ Sun Jellies SHOES: Forever 21 SUNGLASSES: Forever 21 (sold out, similar 1 & 2)

You might not know this, since I am always dressed in ensembles that call to mind Technicolor throw up, but I actually really love black clothing too!

This dress has a distinctly witchy, Wednesday Adams vibe, and though I feel like those type of dresses have been cropping up everywhere lately, the empire waist detailing really made it stand out to me. When I hear "empire waist" I usually think of renaissance era dresses with pillowing skirts (which are lovely for the time period but not exactly something I would personally wear…!), so the fact this dress has a subtle empire waist but still manages to have a fit and flare silhouette really intrigued me. I was extremely impressed with the fit and absolutely love the dress! It's currently sold out, but keep your eye on the product page - ASOS has a habit of relisting pieces people have returned…! (which is how I got mine!) *___*

I paired it with pops of pink in the form of my accessories: a darling heart clip by Hair Dessert being one of them! I am so obsessed with Aiyana's designs - they are so so cute and well crafted!

As for my socks, is this not one of the cutest prints you've ever seen?! Cats, in cameos! Adorable! Finally, my bag was sent to me by Sun Jellies - it is incredibly roomy and lightweight - I'm smitten!

PLAYSUIT: ASOS ROLLER SKATES: Moxi @ Urban Outfitters
RING: ℅ Tiny Hands Jewelry PURSE: ℅ SwayChic SOCKS: American Apparel
NECKLACE: ℅ Mod Dolly (old) SUNGLASSES: ASOS
Finally! A ridiculously belated outfit post, and one that just so happens to be my favorite thing to wear as of late! I stalked the product page for this darling ASOS playsuit for months as it was discounted from $80+ to $23 - score! It reminds me of those adorable little tap dancing outfits ladies in 1930s musicals wear, and it incorporates two of my favorite elements: the color pink and a sailor collar!

I wore it with my dream pair of pink roller skates by Moxi, a holographic gold seashell purse SwayChic was kind enough to send me, and this darling ice cream ring by Tiny Hands Jewelry!

Rolling around on pink roller skates at the local park caused quite the stir, not surprisingly…! Shockingly, though, people actually stopped to compliment my outfit (as opposed to the usual blank and incredulous stares I usually get…) which totally made my day!

Dunkin' Donuts

BIKINI: c/o Pretty Attitude SUNGLASSES: ASOS
FLIP-FLOPS: Dollar Bin DONUT POOL FLOAT: Amazon (biteless version)

If you try to talk about fall's impending arrival, I will probably run screaming out of the room - I'm not ready to say goodbye to the beautiful weather and extended daylight…!

This weekend I visited the public pool before it would be too late - blowing up this huge donut pool float along the way! I never really considered myself a person who would wear a bikini until I saw this one by Pretty Attitude! The cupcake print is too precious and I love the retro high waisted bottoms. I'm officially converted!

I hope you guys are enjoying what's left of summer! <3
