Vanity Fair

emily and fin

I admittedly have a soft spot for numerous types of novelty prints, but there's just something about a beauty-themed print. This perfume bottle print from Emily and Fin is one of my new favorite acquisitions. Emily and Fin consistently carries some of the best novelty prints around, and their newest collection is no exception.

The full fall line hasn't arrived yet, but this "Vanity Fair" print dress is available in two different styles. The Abigail style I'm wearing is a great fit-and-flare with a scoop back (a detail I love!), pleats and pockets. Unlike the other Emily and Fin cotton dresses I own, the shell of this dress is polyester crepe, which gives it a more formal feel (it is, however, lined in cotton like the rest of their dresses). It's a fantastic take on an LBD, and would be great for work events, interviews or a night out on the town. (Plus, it gave me an excuse to wear this cute little novelty bag that's been sitting in my closet forever!)

Clown

pinup girl clothing harlequin dress

I feel like I'm finding a bit of a stride in my new life, even though a lot of things are still up in the air. Maybe I'm just learning how to juggle them better now. And speaking of juggling... I'm finally wearing my harlequin Jenny dress! This was actually the first harlequin colorway I purchased, but I never ended up styling it here on the blog. I felt it was high time to showcase this adorable dress. I honestly don't have a ton of commentary about it, but I find that I wear the patterned Jenny dresses a bit more often than the solid color ones, and I've gotten quite a bit of use out of this one (even though I wouldn't exactly classify it as one of my favorite dresses of all time). Is that strange? I sometimes wear my less-favored dresses more often than my favorite ones... I think because I tend to save my more special dresses. I apparently practice dress favoritism. Oops.

I had an absolutely delightful weekend. I spent time relaxing, catching up on blogging, snuggling and eating some delicious food. Although I'm not currently at a point where I love what I'm doing for work, it helps that I really enjoy coming back to my little house every day. I can't wait to show you all how it looks once it's done!

I am so SO glad this week is nearly over. I'm really looking forward to sleeping in, catching up on blogging and having a girls' day with my mom this weekend. And I even managed to get a Friday Favorites post in this week! Here are a few things I'm obsessing over...

These kitty cat lip balms are so sweet!

Purple Plaid

vintage plaid dress

Finding a cute vintage dress in my size is always a treat. I love a good plaid, especially in a colorway like this, and any vintage dress with oversized pockets and a matching belt automatically has me swooning. I usually like my skirts to be a little fuller, but I think this will be a great summertime go-to. This dress also provided the perfect backdrop for this adorable sparkly heart brooch from Match Accessories – which I've been wanting to show off forever, but I never had the right dress for it. Is it weird I feel sort of accomplished when I finally put together the perfect apparel pairing?

In other news, I'm slowly getting settled into my new routine and surroundings. So is Pumpkin, though I feel incredibly guilty leaving her alone all day while I'm at work. She's used to being around people most of the time (since both my parents and I were working from home), and I know it can't be easy for her to adjust to all of these changes. It's not easy for me either, but I'm sure it's more confusing for a little kitty cat. I know things will sort themselves out in good time... but patience is not a virtue I often possess, truth be told. Just another thing I need to work on...

Friday Favorites #137

Happy Friday! Man, am I glad it's nearly the weekend! I'll be spending my time putting some quasi-finishing touches on my apartment (and getting my kitty cat acclimated to her new surroundings!), and hopefully catching up on sleep. Without further ado, here are some fun + pretty things I've been loving lately...

These subtle Disney-themed dresses are adorable! (If you look closely, the prints are of Marie from the Aristocats and assorted princesses, respectively.)

Finally, I think Thought Catalog is so click-bait-y... but I have to admit (with a slight twinge of embarrassment) that this piece really resonated with me.

Have a wonderful weekend!
