Buttercup

Hello there darlings,

April has proven itself to be one busy little beaver of a month for me.  I came off the weekend of a bridal shower that I helped plan for one of my very good friends and the little British tea party theme that we had really went off like a big hit....not to toot my own horn, but I think I can safely say that my Nutella truffles did too :-).  So much that I was asked to make them again for another one of my friend's baby showers this weekend.  Perhaps I shall make a business of this...The Truffle Queen?  Oh, just kidding.

Anyhow, I recently came home to a package from eShakti and was it ever a ray of sunshine on that rainy day.  This little Adelaide Dress - what can I say about it?  It was the double scalloped collar and buttercup yellow that really drew me in.  (I'm feeling a song coming on...Build Me Up Buttercup, anyone?)  Just like the previous dress I received from them - I was completely pleased with the quality and fit which is saying a lot considering that I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and dresses can really be a hit or miss for me at this stage in the game.  I had the measurements on this little beauty customized for my baby belly, giving me much more room to grow so I can continue to wear it through my pregnancy.  I figured once I'm back to my post baby body, I can just have it sized down because truly this is a dress I will want to wear for seasons to come.  

So that is that.  The weather has been slightly warmer and very windy but nonetheless, the little fam and I are taking every opportunity we can to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.  I just can't wait for spring weather to be in full force here on my side of the mountain.

Hope your week is full of sunshine too!

Love Bunches,

  4. This colour is absolutely amazing on you!! And the scalloped collar is so wonderfully sweet, such a great look!! You always add the best pops of colour to your looks, like these shoes and the headband. I have no doubt that your tasty truffle creations were a hit, they sound delicious!

  5. What a DARLING dress! Oh my, that collar is just so full of swoon I can't take it. What a perfect color on you too. I love that you styled it with darker colors so the yellow really shone through-like a ray of sunshine indeed! Nutella truffles sound amazing-no wonder they were such a big hit! Sounds like you'll be busy for a while with that gig :) Have a lovely day, Pretty Lady!

  10. Oh it is lovely, and during pregency it must be very nice to know you have at least one thing that is truly pretty and truly fitting to wear on the days life gets you down (though, you have lots of pretty items you've worn during your pregnancy and I'm sure will continue to do so).

    This is so cheerful and so you.
