 I've decided it's best for my life as a work at home mother to just have one massive updates per week instead of several a day.  I'm afraid it may bring less views to the shop, but switching to one massive update a week allows me more time to be a mother and wife at home.  Also, it allows me to curate some beautiful themed color palettes each week. This week has many pink and cream hues, which is very sweet for the warmer weather and works into the autumn for those of you in the southern hemisphere.

All of these items can be found in my shop and everything is actually 20% off for the month of July, so enjoy!

The shop is definitely looking sunnier with all the citrus colors and light dresses.  I adore the spring and summer seasons because I love wearing dresses.  I'm a lazy dresser and dressing for winter and autumn takes too much effort for me with all the layers and heavy items.  I like slipping on a dress with some sandals and heading out.  It's much easier since I have to get two little ones ready in the morning.  I would love to slip on the meadow rendezvous dress, pictured above, but it's a bit too long for me, so off to the shop it goes.

Anyhow, since it's sunny SoCal weather here, expect the shop to reflect the same.  Occasionally, I will be adding some warmer pieces for the folks in the southern hemisphere, so be on the look out!

A few items were added to the shop last week, but I couldn't find the time to blog to share with you all the new additions.  I haven't modeled anything for the last couple of months, but the Edwardian dress stretches to 23" at the most, which looked awful on my one dress form.  So, I literally sucked in my gut, held my breath, and tried it on.  I have no idea how I got that dress to fit, but once I was in it, I realized how beautiful this piece was.  I didn't want to take it off, but I had to because I thought I would faint from sucking my stomach in for so long.  So, it was painful to put on and take off! But, so worth it to be able to wear for that time.

All these, except for the cream embroidered cardigan, which has been sold, are in the shop now!
