Oh my goodness, I love this dress and styling so much. I love that the pattern has a patchwork “quilt” effect, and the red lipstick is heavenly.
My favorite part about this kitchen is the floral thermos collection. Divine.
I am throughly enjoying Project Runway Season 8! Mondo Guerra is representing for Denver big time, and I also love April Johnston, and the ultra-cute Valerie Mayen (pictured above). Valerie has an Etsy shop called Yellow Cake, and it gives me a tiny sense of pride knowing that she is coming from the Etsy community, and rocking it on such a huge platform. I would love if these 3 designers were the “final 3”, but we all know that there has to be at least one designer that everyone else hates: Gretchen. Get used to her, because I have a feeling she’s here to stay. Is anyone else watching this season? Who are your favs?
I had slightly let go of Tavi this summer, because let’s face it, it’s no ego-boost that a 14 year old has more blogging talent in her little (and I mean little) finger, than you have in your whole body. But, Stormie Dae reminded me of her hilarity, and I have once again succumbed to her infinite charm. Her post about her I-Pod was…great. I loved every line.
No floral post (or any other post really) would be complete without a mention of the beautiful Elsie. She is my major blog crush right now. Can you even fathom the volume of my screams when I saw that she mentioned our cute plaid Thermos set on her blog last week? *Blush* Oh, and the Thermos set sold a couple days after her post so, yeah. Thanks Elsie!
The skirt and shoes look great together – I don’t know if I would have paired them, but wow. And I adore the fedora. It’s an adorable fancy fedora. That’s got a nice ring to it doesn’t it? I don’t own one, but I think buying one is way overdue. My husband Tristan doesn’t care for the fedora look, but I think he just needs to be persuaded. I found a really cute one at the drool-worthy Beacon’s Closet in Brooklyn this past May, and I almost bought it. Now I am regretting leaving it there. Stormie Dae, why didn’t you force me to purchase it?
Well, I am off to update our Shop (yes!) with lots of cuteness, and have some tea. Keep an eye out for a cute fedora for me.

Floral is delicious..and I believe I did tell you to buy the fedora anyway – It’s not my fault that you don’t listen to my amazing advice:)
