Chic for Cheap: A Classy Birthday Look

Hello lovelies.  As you're reading this I'm probably on my way to take our dog into the vet for her appointment.  Thank you all (each and every one of you) for taking the time to leave such warm and caring thoughts for us.  It truly means the world to me!  I'll let you know when I have an update on her condition from the vet.  xox

Erin from Lucky Designs will soon be throwing a birthday party for her daughter's first birthday and asked for a few ideas to go along with her theme of navy, yellow, and white daisies.

This one was kind of tricky for me.  At one point I actually had 4 different boards started with incomplete looks on them... but in the end I went with this outfit because of the dress.  I think that it has a great silhouette that is flattering for many different figure types, and the dark color means that when little ones grab on with frosting-covered fingers, stains will not show (very important, right).

• Wool Blend Felt Headband - Facinator from Shoozie Shoes (so cute I just had to include it)
• Floral Twist-neck Dress at Gap
• Winter Flower Hair Clips in blue and ivory by Thread & Petal
• Dahlia in the Garden Ring by eRosasJewelry
• Valonia Pumps in navy at Target (Okay, these might not be the most practical for a child's birthday, but you'll look amazing at least)

Congratulations on your daughter's big milestone Erin.  I hope the party is filled with all kinds of memory making fun for both young and old alike. xox Ez

My Little Creature of Comfort

Hello lovelies.  Today I wanted to ask you for a favor.  If you have a moment, please consider sending special "get well "thoughts out for our sweet dog Stella who has become suddenly ill with symptoms that threaten her right eye and possibly her life.  Tomorrow she must go into the vet under anesthesia for further diagnosis.  My heart is aching because she is such a dear part of our lives and the though of losing her or of her experiencing any pain just breaks me apart. 
Thanks in advance for your warm thoughts.  They mean so much to us! xox Ez

Color Crush: Rainbow Brights

Hello again lovelies!  I hope each one of you had an amazing weekend.  Mine was spent mostly offline (practically unheard of for me), snapping photos of the blossoms blooming in my town, and hanging out with my family.  Saturday and Sunday's weather was gorgeous, but sadly the clouds are rolling back in again and rain is in the forecast.  Today's picks are the just color infusion I need to keep me bright and cheery for the rest of my week.

I'm so happy you're here today.  Thanks for stopping by.  xox Ez
