Currently Loving

I'm still on a gingham kick and have fallen in love with this Jcrew green dress. I really want to make something similar but am having trouble finding the pattern. I ordered this striped ASOS maxi dress last week and I really hope it fits! I love the colors! I'm tempted to buy this Kate Spade swimsuit. I think it's last years style, but I love the striped high waist bottoms!

Off the Shoulder Top

I made this top a couple weeks ago and wore it for my birthday. It was fairly simple to make. I used McCalls 7163 pattern for the peasant top. I cut the XS size because I didn't want it to be too blousy. I initially wanted to make this a long tunic, but it just didn't look that great on. I decided to shorten it and added elastic to the bottom. I also didn't follow the directions for the top elastic. The pattern calls for 2 pieces of elastic, instead I used one wider piece. I am pretty happy with how it turned out!  

 

 

This is what I wore out for my birthday that evening.

Clutch is from ASOS, Jeans from Gap and Shoes are Steve Madden.

Birthday/Easter Weekend

We had a great weekend celebrating my birthday on Saturday and Easter on Sunday.

 We started the day with our favorite donut spot, the Great American Donut Company. They have a little kids table with crayons that Roman really likes.

I got my hair cut and colored at Ado. It's a little dark, but feels good!

 Saturday afternoon we headed out for drinks. I wore the top I just made.

We hit up Black Acre in our neighborhood.

And then Bluebeard, our favorite, for dinner. It was so nice to sit outside.

 

We had an awesome dinner! Look how happy Dan is!

 

We had an amazing dessert, as you can see how happy I am! :)

 

On Sunday we celebrated Easter and setup Roman's first Easter Egg hunt. He didn't really understand except for opening the eggs for the treats inside.

It's been kind of fun shopping for spring clothes now that Roman is a toddler. I have a thing for bright colored pants and shorts. I can't wait to dress him up this spring and summer!

Friday Favorites

It's been an off week for me and I'm happy it's Friday! We have had some spring teaser days in the 70's, and I love it! I'm definitely ready for the warm weather and I love the longer days. I'm going on a girls trip in April to the beach and have already started thinking about what to pack. Some of my current favorites above.
