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!

BAG: c/o Jump From Paper BODY SUIT: c/o Missguided SKIRT: American Apparel
SOCKS: American Apparel NECKLACE: c/o Fatally Feminine Designs
ICE CREAM HAIR CLIP: c/o Hair Dessert SHOES: Forever 21

Too much mint? n__~ I just can't help dressing up in ice cream colors and this has been one of my very favorite combinations to wear lately! I finally bought one of American Apparel's corduroy circle skirts when they were having a 30% off sale and I'm obsessed - it matches perfectly with this beautiful body suit from Missguided! I really love the deep back and tropical print *__*

Accessories wise, I took the opportunity to show off some of the cutest pieces I own: one of which, being this darling cotton candy necklace by Fatally Feminine Designs! Even my sister, who doesn't usually like the kitschy pieces I am so fond of, is in love with this darling necklace - it looks exactly like cotton candy and so beautifully made! The shop owner, Aubree, is an absolute doll too <3

Meanwhile, without a doubt I can say Hair Dessert has the most adorable hair clips I have ever seen. I am all about food themed accessories (which I'm sure you have already guessed *cough*), so Hair Dessert's range of food themed hair pieces are nothing less then heaven! I'm wearing the ice cream clip and it's incredibly durable and professionally made as well as cute - eeek!

And finally, is this not one of the most clever bags you have ever seen? Jump From Paper specializes in purses that look like they literally jumped from an illustration into a real life, physical bag you can hold in your hands and o m g? My dreams of always looking like a cartoon character have totally been realized! It is such a clever idea and brilliantly executed, I'm completely in awe of it! Thank you again Jump From Paper!! <3

I've been wearing this outfit doing just about everything - including walking my dog! Isn't she precious? n___n For some reason I am very drawn to pointed toe shoes, and this pair from Forever 21 are absolutely perfect! I kind of want the black version now… D:

(thank you Becky for the post title name idea!) ♡♡♡
