Sartorial Saturday–Vibrant Floral

By now it’s probably pretty obvious that I have a favorite style of Miss Candyfloss dress…sleeveless, with a pleated bust and buttons all the way down the front. It’s a great, breezy style for summer, and easy to wear in cooler months with a sweater or jacket. I’m likely to buy this dress in just about any color/print (I think this makes eight in different variations in my wardrobe), but I was especially drawn to the Kahina-Violette because of the bold, vibrant colors of the floral print:

I had so many accessories that were just perfect for this dress, too…beads and Duchess Bangles from Splendette among them, plus an Erstwilder brooch that is doing its best to camouflage itself against the pattern of the dress, a pretty fascinator, and my original hoop earrings from Elizabeth Claire Taylor (which were all the more appropriate since the inspiration for this Miss Candyfloss collection was none other than Elizabeth Taylor!).

I will always love a bold floral print!

If you’ve seen this dress on the Miss Candyfloss website, you might be surprised to see a belt in the same print of the dress instead of the contrasting one pictured there…I’m not sure what happened, but Miss Candyfloss’s customer service was excellent as always, and they sent me the belt I was expecting to receive!

I’m so happy that I was able to find another dress in my favorite style!

I still have a few more pieces from the fabulous Legendary Liz collection to share…stay tuned!

M*A*S*H Quote of the Day–6/11/26

“If a man says he’s Christ, he might just become a better Christian. I mean, if I had a horse who was convinced he was Man O’ War, I don’t know that I’d want to set him straight, if you get my drift.” Colonel Sherman Potter, “Quo Vadis, Captain Chandler,” season four, episode nine

It’s been a fun week!

Tasty Tuesday–Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe

St. Louis has a really cool pop-up that’s going to be in town until June 28!

The Sonic the Hedgehog Speed Cafe opened in Chicago earlier this year, and I was really bummed because it was so close, but not close enough for us to get up there before it closed. You can imagine how excited we all were when they announced that they were going to be opening in Nudo House Delmar for a couple of months!

The interior design is really cool, especially the rings everywhere:

And the food was outstanding! I tried the “Buzz Bomber Brisket Sandwich,” which just debuted over the weekend. The brisket was fantastic, and let’s face, an eye-catching blue bun is a unique culinary experience!

The rest of the family tried a variety of things, including “Rogue’s Gold Heist Bites,” (gouda mac ‘n’ cheese balls), “Sonic the Hedgehog’s Classic Chili Dog,” and “E-123 Omega’s Red Hot Revenge,” (a St. Louis special of a Red Hot Riplets chicken sandwich). Everyone was very happy with their selections!

Turkey also tried the “Sonic Boom Lemonade”:

And we shared an order of “Chaorros” which came with a fudge miso dipping sauce:

This was a really cool experience…I’m so glad St. Louis got to play host to it! It still has a couple of weeks left, so there’s still time to visit, but you have to go fast before it’s gone!
