The Tassie-Aurea from Miss Candyfloss was originally introduced as an autumn dress, but I have restyled it for the warmer months!
I accessorized with a summer hat from Vixen by Micheline Pitt, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, a true vintage brooch from our local antique store, and a pair of gloves:
I love the trailing scarves no matter the season!
The fact that the dress is sleeveless is key to making this look work for summer even thought the colors are a bit more autumnal.
I feel like I should be going to a garden party in this outfit!
I love finding new ways to style my favorite pieces!
Did you know Daisy Duck is celebrating her 85th birthday this year? She is my absolute favorite Disney character, so I was super excited when the Disney Store online debuted this adorable dress inspired by my sassy gal!
It features puff sleeves and a full skirt with a built in crinoline, plus an embroidered faux collar and button. The pink and purple color palette is perfect for Daisy, and the bottom half of the skirt is covered with the flowers she is named for and also includes her unmistakable signature.
I accessorized with a pair of purple, daisy-covered 85th anniversary ears by BaubleBar from the Disney Store, an Erstwilder brooch, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, and a RockLove Jewelry Daisy Duck necklace.
I also have a sparkly, fuzzy, Daisy Duck Loungefly mini backpack…I’ve wished for something like this for a while, and this is exactly what I had in mind!
I attaached a signature bag charm from BaubleBar, too:
This is the perfect look to celebrate my favorite duck!
This classic dress has a lovely Sabrina neckline, and is made of a very soft and comfortable fabric.
I accessorized primarily with black, which I think looks great with the red and white stripes of the dress. I wore a black boater hat and gloves, an Erstwilder brooch, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, plus a Rocklove Jewelry necklace that features a black chain and a red crystal:
The back of the dress features a somewhat unusual and beautiful v-neckline:
One of my favorite details of the dress is that the stripes on the bodice are horizontal, but the skirt has vertical stripes…it’s such an interesting pattern, and really breaks up the look!
This is a great look for the warmer months!
I’m already looking forward to the autumn/winter collection…I can’t wait to see what it holds!
Today I’m taking a look at the perfect summer party dress, the Nalini-Pia from Miss Candyfloss!
The Tassie-Aurea dress is the same style, but in more autumnal colors (stay tuned for a look at how I styled it for warmer days, though!), and I love how flowy and elegant it is, so I was super excited to add another one to my wardrobe!
The colors are absolutely beautiful…it makes me feel like an Easter egg in the very best way!
I accessorized with a pink fascinator, a pastel stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, and my fanciest brooch.
The bodice of the dress is embroidered with zig-zags in a rainbow of colors, and they’re so exact, they almost look like perfectly laid-out sequins, but without the annoying scratchy discomfort that accompanies that embellishment:
It’s the perfect look for summer!
The voluminous and twirly skirt is four layers, two of which are filmy tulle, all in shades of pink!
This is by far one of the most elegant dresses in my wardrobe!
I’m already looking forward to wearing this for Easter!
Happy 626 Day!!! Tonight’s recipes come from Lilo and Stitch: The Official Cookbook. The main course was one of my favorite recipes in the book…Kiki’s Special Saimin Noodles, which has an amazing broth infused with lots of ginger! Our drink was Hapa Kine Strawberry and Basil Cooler Companions. In addition to the strawberries and basil that give the recipe its name, there was also lemon juice, honey, and lots of ginger syrup…one of the best drinks I’ve ever made! For dessert, I made the Guava Celebration Cake, which is a strawberry cake with a whipped cream cheese frosting, and a guava filling and topping.
The best celebrations include fashion of some sort, and today I wore my Disney Store Lilo and Stich dress with a Hula Lula Tiki Girl brooch from Miss Fluff for Lipstick and Chrome plus a Rocklove Jewelry “Tell Your Tale” Stitch Aloha enhancer and a stack of tropical Splendette Duchess bangles. I’ve also been carrying my sparkly Stitch Loungefly bag all week!
Today I’m taking a look at one of my very favorite styles for summer…a romper with an overskirt, in a fun Finding Nemo tiki print from Her Universe!
I love a skirt over a romper, (or even shorts under a skirt or dress), but I don’t have very many of that style in my wardrobe. When I saw this set on the Her Universe website, I fell in love. The colors are absolutely beautiful, and the tiki print is so fun for summer! I did have trouble getting the fit right…I ordered a 2X, which is my normal Her Universe size, and it was so tight, I couldn’t even zip it. I returned that in favor of a 3X, which was laughably huge. Since I did get it on sale, I decided to see how much tailoring the romper would cost (I moved the button on the skirt myself), and when I found out it was about the same as the money I had saved on the set in the first place, I decided it was well worth it. I had it back just in time to wear for my birthday last weekend, too!
I love how high-quality the fabric is…it has a great amount of structure and really holds its shape!
I went with bright and bold accessories, including a pair of blue hair flowers, a Hula Lula Tiki Girl brooch from Lipstick and Chrome by Miss Fluff, a Meteor Jewelry Starlite necklace, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles.
It’s such a gorgeous look with the accompanying skirt!
But the romper is also stunning on its own!
I really love this particular style, because unlike many vintage-inspired rompers, it isn’t excessively short, and I also like that it has straps that cross and hook in the back instead of having a halter tie (although it does make it a little more challenging to put on and take off!).
It’s the perfect tropical look for summer!
Her Universe had a similar set in a different print last summer that I have wished I had gotten…now I’m just hoping that I might have a set like this to look forward to every year, because I would happily add more of them to my wardrobe!
Summer time is tiki time! I’m really loving all the tiki-themed prints Her Universe has right now, including this adorable retro Minnie Mouse tiki dress!
It’s such a fun print for summer!
I added predominantly red accessories, including Splendette beads and Duchess Bangles, an Erstwilder brooch, and my Disney Store Minnie Mouse hoop earrings:
I love the grey collar and belt on the dress:
In addition to the traditional tiki motifs, the print also has palm trees and Minnie Mouse doing the hula…very tropical!
I love that I can accessorize with a completely different color palette in the future, because anything will go with this beautiful dress!
There’s also a coordinating Mickey Mouse button-down shirt, which has a similar print in grey, plus some pops of color with bold red flowers…it’s perfect for a matching look!
I liked my first silk-blend dress from Miss Candyfloss, I decided to add another one to my wardrobe! The Lacey-Azure is a gorgeous piece with bold stripes in various shades of blue-green.
I have so many Splendette Duchess bangles that go beautifully with the color palette!
I also wore an Erstwilder brooch and Meteor Jewelry Co. Starlite necklace, plus a fascinator, gloves, and statement ring:
The light and breezy fabric is perfect for warm summer days!
I accessorized with a bold yellow hair flower and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles. The embroidered Naboo crest means I didn’t even need a brooch for once!
It’s such a bright and cheerful look!
For this styling, I added a peasant top just a few shades lighter than the dimensional flowers on the cardigan and skirt:
I also wore a pair of ankle boots that are a little redder than I would have liked, but still go nicely with the floral details on the outfit:
You may have realized by now that this style, which has a lovely pleated bustline and row of buttons all the way down the front, is my very favorite Miss Candyfloss style…it is so easy to wear!
I accessorized with a flower crown from Rare Dirndl, an Erstwilder brooch, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles:
This dress is exceptionally lightweight (to the point it is a bit sheer, necessitating either a petticoat, or, for summer, a pair of short underneath, with the skirt of the dress unbuttoned from the waist).
It does run a bit big…I almost wish I had sized down for a firmer fit.
The dress has a lovely twirl!
I love the beautiful floral print and soft colors…I’m looking forward to wearing it all summer long!
