Celebrating 626!

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!

Happy Stitch Day!

Sartorial Saturday–Tiki Time

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!
