Little lady

Glory is slowly making her way into a few of things I made for her before she was born. Here is the navy liberty print dress, originally posted here. Don't you love her spikey blonde hair?

I'm in the process of making her a striped spring number that I can't wait to share. So stay tuned..

And yes, I'm sporting my favorite..the Bellis with a black blazer.

Lovely Lola

Several of the dresses in my bridal collections can be made in knee, tea, and full lengths. I like giving people the flexibility and it's always fun to see a dress in a different light. Here is the oh-so popular Lola in full length... And you can see her twirling at tea-length, here.

Orla Kiely A/W 2013

I loved Orla Kiely's most recent fashion presentation -- models dressed like 1960's secretaries, busy at work while casually strolling down the fictional runway. If you follow their instragram, there is a post of what the models were pretending to type ("wheres my don draper at").

What a difference a year makes...

I distinctly remember Valentine's Day last year -- I was battling through pregnancy sickness and attempted to put myself together for a lunch date with the hub. Right after ordering my sandwich, I ran out of the restaraunt and dry-heaved in the parking lot. Romantic. Not sure why, but he captured this photo of me that evening.

Fast forward one year later, we went back to that same restaraunt today to enjoy a sandwich with our daugther. Excuse Dexter's awesome hairdo , he was groomed today and his ears are out of control.

Hello there.

I'm aching for spring and I stumbled across this Seychelles number that will be perfect for the season. Love that tiny pop of color.

And while we're lusting for things...this swimsuit, YES. Hide those post-baby stretchmarks in style! And besides it's tulle on a swimsuit and the color is called ancient fig, what more could you ask for.

5 months

This little nugget is 5 month old -- get out, right?! When she was first born I felt time moved so slowly and then all of a sudden we stepped on the baby train and have been going full force ever since! I'm so proud of her chubby cheeks and spikey blonde hair. I don't want to miss a single moment which is why I'm constantly sewing a seam and running back to see what she's up to. Not the best for productivity, but it's worth it.

She has become so curious about the world around her and has been gobbling down her pureed foods. She definitely needs her sleep, up to 12 hours a night with three naps during the day. Although I cringe when I write that, I don't want to jinx anything! I'm looking forward to warmer temperatures so we can sit outside and watch the chickens. Come on spring!

Lauren Moffatt Fall 2013

Can't get enough of these looks from Lauren Moffatt - RTW Fall 2013. Look at those patterened trousers! Love these pieces because they could easily transition to other seasons. Not to mention, the presentation styling is as awesomely quirky as usual.
