There’s no denying I’m a complete sucker for tulle. For me, it’s one of the most feminine and lovely fabric there is. As cliche as it sounds, it definitely has major princess vibes as well. Continuing with the floral theme this week, this midi dress has a demure floral crochet design on the chest, a high neck, and a flounced tulle skirt. This dress is truly the belle of the ball! The size runs true to size. I’m in a UK 6, the equivalent of a US 2.

Today’s floral feature is one that I do not typically wear, but fell in love with at first sight. I normally veer towards fit and flare styles, but this bodycon fit with the midi skirt and peplum hem stood out with its gorgeous vibrant floral pattern and self ties at the shoulders. Talk about swooning! The fit is true to size.

This week is all about floral prints that remind me of the loveliest spring day. It’s a print I wear year round and cannot get enough of. Florals always bring a smile to my face and joy to my heart. I hope you enjoy the next few days of this beautiful print as much as I do!

Today’s dress boasts a floral bouquet on top of a white background with a pink ribbon around the waist. The sleeves have a darling pleated detail that stand out and give the dress a unique touch. With a fitted bodice and box pleated midi skirt, this dress is perfect for just about any occasion be it a wedding, bridal shower, cocktail party, or simply a day out. The dress runs true to size. Using the UK measurement, I ended up being a size 6, equivalent to a US 2.

Good morning and happy Friday, friends! There’s something about a crisp white dress that just feels like spring and summer. This elegant number from Chicwish has a pointed collar, flare cuffs, and a darling floral crochet pattern throughout. There is a soft nude lining underneath and the fit is true to size.

Did anyone catch the series finale of The Big Bang Theory last night? It was one of my moms favorite shows and my dad watches it every night in reruns and when a new episode would air. It’s the longest running multi camera sitcom ever. I thought they did a wonderful and heartfelt job with the finale. The elevator works again!! 

Cheers to the weekend!

The Dreamiest Dress

Tiered Pink Dress c/o || Vintage Beaded Bag (Similar) || Velvet Pearl Headband || Similar Pearl Sandals || Jackie Kennedy Pearl Earrings || Pink & Blue Co. Bracelet c/o || Circle Hexagon Ring c/o ||  

This dress is one of the dreamiest dresses I’ve ever seen. A beautiful blush color with bountiful ruffles set in a tiered placement, this dress from Chicwish is the epitome of spring romance. I couldn’t help but thinking of The Great Gatsby while wearing this or heading to a whimsical spring or summer soirée. The skirt of this dress is also lovely for a good twirl! My sweet girl was also picking so many flowers for me during this shoot. I couldn’t help but to take a photo of all them in my bag. She’s such a doll!

Antique Print Dress // Pearl Clips

in ,

Antique Print Dress (Also Here)|| Purple Mules (Similar) || Circle Bag (Similar) || Pearl Hair Clips (Ten Pieces) || Flower Earrings || Circle Hexagon Ring c/o || Pink & Blue Co Bracelet c/o || 

Good morning, friends! What more can I say than I’m absolutely head over heels in love with this dress. The light pink color along with the charming novelty print made up of birdcages, pinned butterflies, and postage stamps adds to the pin-up perfection. The shirt dress with a darted bodice, belt, notched collar, and darling cap sleeves all lend to the flare of the 1950s. Did I mention it has pockets too?! Simply swooning. The fit is true to size. How cute are these pearl clips!! Pearl clips are a huge trend right now, really any hair accessory, and with good reason. They have a vintage sophistication, add some charm, and the practicality of keeping your hair out of your face. I’m all about that. The set I have comes with ten pieces (two of each style) for under $13. They’re perfect for various hair styles (pinning hair back on one side, pinning back both sides, using a clip to pin a chignon…the list goes on), matching with you mini me, or using double clips on one side. Ava was so excited to wear one of the clips so we would match! I love these photos with her and I as well. She really is the sweetest! She always kisses me whenever we take photos together and I was able to capture some of those moments above.

Happy Tuesday, friends!  What a gorgeous day yesterday was! I cannot wait to share some of the photos Ava and I took. After she got out of school, we spent the entire day outside basking in the sunshine at one of our favorite parks. We took a walk, played in the sand, made some new friends, and had a picnic. 

One of my favorite parts about spring are the blossom trees. Soaking in their beauty for as long as I can brings me so much joy. This top from Chicwish has a gorgeous floral pattern, v-neck design with ruffle and crochet trimmings, and elastic cuffs. It is a bit sheer, but I found wearing a nude bra underneath was fine. No need to wear an extra tank top. This whole outfit gives me dreamy vibes from the 1940s, which are absolutely swoon worthy!

Good morning and happy Monday! Mothers Day is this Sunday and what more perfect way to celebrate than matching with your Minnie Me! Ava and I saw these tops and thought they were the cutest thing. Disney always has the best outfits for family matching fun. These tops would also be adorable with some matching skirts. We went to one of our favorite flower parks to take these photos before meeting with some of my friends to take our kids to dinner and the movies. We all saw Ugly Dolls, which the kids loved! There’s some pretty cute songs and a great theme of everyone is beautiful inside and out.

Happy weekend, friends! Ava and I went to go see Avengers End Game yesterday and man, what an amazing way to end the series! Both of us loved the movie that clocks in at just over three hours. I laughed, I cried, I was on the edge of my seat, and I wholeheartedly enjoyed the entire journey I’ve been on with these characters over the past eleven years. What a journey it’s been too. The entire theater clapped at the end, which I always love. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but definitely go see it, especially all of the fans.

 This yellow tea dress was a dream to shoot under the weeping cherry blossom tree. With a bowtie at the neck, ruffles, and a floral print, this dress fit right in with romantic charm the trees have. Ava particularly enjoyed playing under them! We both wanted to wear yellow florals too. This is the cutest little number to throw on for a day out or even for a date night.

What is it about a bow that simply makes my heart go aflutter? It’s one of those little details that makes a big impact and adds a feminine touch with a hint of whimsy. This darling pink gingham top with bows along the cuffs combines the best of both worlds with its fun spring/summertime print and of course, the beautiful bows. Not only does the top have bows, but my sandals and hat also have bows too! While putting this look together, I envisioned a spring time walk in the park or a picnic under a blossoming tree.

Tied With A Bow Wrap Skirt

in ,

Spring has finally sprung in Pennsylvania! The past two weeks have provided some magical days and evenings with the flowering trees blooming, the weather turning a tad warmer, and the fresh scent of spring in the air. I find the pretty blossoms to be the absolute best backgrounds and wish they would last longer than they usually do. Every time we see a blossom tree, Ava points it out with such excitement. She was such a darling during this photo shoot too. She kept bringing flowers over to me with the biggest smile on her face. She melts my heart! This wrap skirt was the perfect compliment to our afternoon out in the sun. With the temperatures rising, I wanted a look that reminded me of sunshine and blue skies. Of course, blue and yellow also have a nautical vibe to them, which I adore and its one of my favorite color combos! The skirt also has the most adorable ruffles along the hemline and fits true to size. Along with a day out in the spring, I can also imagine wearing this on a beach vacation!

Good morning, friends! Every time I see a tweed dress, I instantly think of Jackie Kennedy. She wore quite a bit of tweed throughout her life, typically a jacket and skirt set, and always looked beyond stylish in them. There’s no denying her grace, beauty, and charm, which always have and still continue to inspire me to this day. This tweed dress from a Chicwish conjures up retro vibes and soft romantic notions with it’s blush hue, mid-length sleeves, and a sheer self-tie bowknot. Even the sleeves have sheer ruffles along with cuffs. A charming frock that will add elegance to your spring wardrobe!

Good morning, everyone! We recently had a gorgeous day with temperatures reaching 72 degrees, which was quite literally a heat wave. It brought everyone out to the parks, lakes, sidewalks, stores, and farms. Basically, if you could be outside then you were on that day. After getting some work done, Ava and I headed out for a walk and then a little picnic by our favorite lake. It was not only relaxing, but incredibly refreshing and invigorating.

We dressed in items that also had the same refreshing feeling with chic comfort in mind. My blush dress has beautiful flutter sleeves with buttons down the front and a tie to cinch at the waist. Also, and most importantly, pockets! I swoon every time a dress has pockets. Ava’s dress reminds me so much of spring with it’s pretty pastel stripes. I love these dresses for her since they’re easy and comfortable. She can run around and play easily while still feeling “dressed up.” Her jelly sandals are also a spring and summer staple for her. This year she picked out a rose gold shade. Last year, she got a hot pink version that she literally wore the entire summer and into fall. She loved them that much lol!

A very happy Tuesday to you and welcome to April! It feels so good to finally say hello to April. There are so many wonderful things to look forward to including the warmer weather, flowers blooming, and of course the Easter season. Ava is particularly excited for the bunny to be arriving soon. It’s still a bit cool up my way with some warm days mixed up, but seeing the sun shine is what really makes me smile. It’s an instant mood booster and so refreshing to see after the long gloomy winter days. We’re slowly getting there!

This polka dot dress, with pockets!, is also quite the instant mood booster in my opinion. Polka dots not only remind me of the fabulous retro days, but they're incredibly fun and flirty! Along with the pockets, this dress also features a tie around the waist and a darling collar at the neck. It has a nice weight to it as well. I wore this outfit to church on Sunday where Ava and I were greeters. It was so much fun to welcome everyone in for the service.

Good morning and happy Tuesday! I recently came across a jewelry company, J.Bubs, and fell in love with all of their pieces. Their jewelry has a modern glam feel to it with affordable prices and on trend pieces. Their dainty items, 3 of which I’m wearing above, are my favorite. The hexagon ring is 14k gold plated and is perfect for layering or wearing alone. The leopard kite earrings have a faux fur feel (very soft to touch) and look incredibly chic. The rose coin necklace is 18k gold plated and oh so lovely to wear. Coin necklaces are all the rage right now and with good reason. I chose the “rose” coin since it reminds me of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, one of my favorite Disney movies. Use the code amanda25 for 25% off of your J.Bubs order. The code is good for 48 hours!

Happy Friday, friends! White tweed, big gold buttons, and a knee length cut make this coat from Sail To Sable elegant in every single way. It’s been my go-to this season for the transition into warmer spring weather. I’m completely over winter and also strongly hoping we do not get any more snow storms. Fingers crossed! I’ve been starting to store away my winter outterwear and looking for a coat for the cooler spring days. This tweed one has a fresh feel with a light lining to keep me warm until we hit those 70 degree days. It also features a stand up collar and a fit and flare silhouette. I paired the coat with a fun gingham dress and yellow wedge espadrilles.

There’s nothing dreamier to me than a gorgeous sunset with soft beautiful light filtering through. Add some floral blooms and you have one enchanting evening.

It was a wonderful evening filled with good food, good company, and an ensemble that has so much springtime charm.
