We all scream for ice cream

Outfit Details:
Ice cream sandwich dress: I'm Your Present
Dessert Dash Flat in Cocoa: ModCloth
Spoon ring: Mom's
White vinyl belt: eBay




I wore this dress in one of my very first outfit posts on here (prepare yourself for blurry photos!), but haven't featured it since.  Yesterday's Friday Favorites post made me have a hankering for ice cream, which brought me back to this dress.  Since summer is drawing to a close (cue weeping), I thought I should hurry up and wear it again, before it gets too cold!  This is one of three dresses I have from I'm Your Present (you can check out my other posts featuring Kelly's dresses here and here), and I absolutely love this fabric!  I finally found some brown flats (after looking for MONTHS for ones I liked), and I thought they'd go well with this fun little dress.  I love any shoe with an ankle strap!





My thought process was that eating ice cream requires a spoon.  Hence, spoon ring.





I'm very excited because a new store that carries all sorts of retro-inspired brands (like Hell Bunny, one of my favorites!) has opened up here in Rochester, and I'm going there after work to have a look-see!  Other than that, I really don't have too many exciting things going on this weekend, other than a brunch on Labor Day (brunch actually is pretty exciting though -- it's my favorite of all meals).

Have a sweet Saturday!

This is the song that doesn't end (+ giveaway winners!)

Outfit Details:
Lambchop Party Dress: I'm Your Present
Lavender hair bow: Clip-a-Bow Boutique
Lavender jelly flats: Pinup Girl Clothing
Rocking horse ring: Hello Holiday
White belt: eBay





This dress is my latest purchase from I'm Your Present (a shop I ADORE).  I love both my Miss Piggy dress and ice cream sandwich dress from I'm Your Present, and I gasped out loud when I saw that Kelly had a Lambchop dress for sale!  I've loved Sherri Lewis since I was little, and I have a huge interest in puppetry (and am fascinated by ventriloquism).  So obviously, I couldn't pass this dress up!





By the by... these are probably the most uncomfortable jelly shoes ever invented.  Although they are advertised as being very flexible, I've found them to be the exact opposite; they're incredibly stiff and hurt my feet pretty much immediately after putting them on.  It's definitely not the same jelly plastic that Juju uses in their footwear.  I would have sent them back if Pinup Girl offered free returns, but it basically wasn't worth it.  They look cute in photos, but I could never wear them for any length of time.





My nod to Charlie Horse






Oh, and announcing the winners of the Dupenny retro tote bag giveaway...

Congratulations to Kerri and Brooke!  Your prize will be sent out to you this week!  :)  Thanks so much to everyone to entered my first giveaway!

Have a great Monday!

It's time to put on makeup / It's time to dress up right

Outfit Details:
Miss Piggy Party Dress: I'm Your Present
Care to Dance? Wedge in Petal: ModCloth (also available directly through BAIT)
Lavender belt: ASOS
Lilac Hair Bow: Clip a Bow Boutique


I ask you, could there be a more perfect dress for me than a novelty print that involves puppets (ESPECIALLY the Muppets)?  I've been long-obsessed with this dress.  I'm a big fan of Kelly over at I'm Your Present, and she originally had this dress as a one-of-a-kind dress that was far too small for me.  Luckily, she started listing custom order dresses with the same charming fabric!  Her pieces are so wonderfully nostalgic and fantasy-driven!  They also include the cutest things with their orders -- little unicorn rings, stickers, candies.  Just really sweet and adorable. 




Miss Piggy is the ultimate glamour drama queen.  She is silly and girly and I love her.
