Sartorial Saturday–For All the Marbles
The first thing that caught my eye in the Miss Candyfloss “Legendary Liz” collection was the beautiful and colorful marble print Dorothy-Pia dress (and jumpsuit in the same fabric). It’s so different from their usual prints that I knew it was a must-have item!
There are so many accessories that could go with this dress because of all of the colors in the print, but this time I went with a lot of purple, including a pillbox hat from Vixen by Micheline Pitt, beads and Duchess Bangles from Splendette, and a “Spiffy the Sausage Dog” brooch from Erstwilder.
I love how swirly the print is!
And the fabric of the dress is so light and flowy that’s it’s twirly, too!
The dress also features one of my favorite Miss Candyfloss design elements…a row of buttons all the way down the front:
The Dorothy-Pia is everything I hoped it would be!
I have just two more dresses to share from this lovely collection…stay tuned!

I thought this parking garage ramp I saw from the windows of the Metra in Chicago looked really cool.

Tasty Tuesday–Dining Down the Mother Road (At Home)–Part Two
We had two Route 66 dinners and desserts from The Route 66 Cookbook in the last week!
For the second dinner of our Route 66 Summer I made the Super Burger from the Western View Diner & Steakhouse in Albuquerque, NM. What really set the burger apart is the green chile sauce served on top! Also, this was the first time I made the hamburger patties myself instead of just buying frozen ones, and I’m pretty sure my family is never going to let me go back!
And is there a more classic Route 66 dessert than a malt? The recipe for the most chocolatey malt ever (and I’ve made chocolate malts pretty often in the past!) was from the Fair Oaks Pharmacy in South Pasadena…so delicious!
Our third dinner featured Goulash from the Streetcar Station Coffee Shop in Galena, KS. And when I say goulash, I mean the American kind, made with chili seasonings and macaroni. It was tasty, but confusing because we’re used to Hungarian goulash!
For dessert we had a classic Egg Cream like they serve at the Monarch Pharmacy and Soda Fountain in Baxter Spring, KS. Again, confusing, because there is neither egg nor cream in this chocolate soda, but again, super tasty!
We’re looking forward to more culinary travels down Route 66!
