Finally, My Very Own Lena Hoschek!

 Bathing Suit, Lena Hoschek

Skirt, Part of the Gamine Playsuit from Q's Daydream Handmade

Shoes, Jeffrey Campbell

As some of you may know Lena Hoschek is my all time favorite designer. I've been drooling over her collections for years! Especially her pretty pieces that just happen to have Elvis' face on them, hehe. So, when Jonny bought me this Lena Hoschek bathing suit I was over the moon. I knew when I ordered it that I was going to have to wear it under a skirt, so I don't just get to wear it to the pool. I was thrilled to find it goes perfectly with the skirt from Q's Daydream Handmade Gamine Playsuit! I think I'll also have to make a skirt in the color of Elvis' hair. I plan on wearing this baby everywhere! In fact I might never take it off. ;o)

Also, I have some very happy news! Jonny and I have been living in a tiny apartment ever since moving to Nashville... but a few days ago we rented our very own house. We move in June 1st, yay! It's a darling little 1940's house with a huge fenced in backyard for Loretta to play in. I can't wait to move in and share with y'all some pictures. :D

I hope you all have had a glorious weekend! xo

Instagram, My Day to Day Life In Pictures

Hello lovelies! I thought I'd share with you some pictures from my instagram. I've been so busy I haven't had much time to take real blog photos, but I have been snapping away on my phone. I love when other bloggers show their instagram photos, so I thought I'd do it too! If you'd like you can follow me daily here. I hope you enjoy this little peak into my phone ;o)

Oh, and yes, I finally got myself a Lena Hoschek Elvis bathing suit!! It was a gift from Jonny for launching Q's Daydream Handmade. He's an amazing hubby! Btw, I'm never taking it off, hehe.

I hope you all are well!

Inspiration Friday, Pinterest

All photos and their sources can be found here

Hello lovelies! I must apologize for being such a bad blogger this week. I've been sewing away like a busy little bee. I did find in a moment to start a Pinterest. So if you want to see a mish mash of things that I like you can follow me here.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Talk to you soon! :)

Inspiration Friday, Summer Underwear by Nina Leen 1949

Aren't these photos by Nina Leen just gorgeous!? I think they capture just what I adore about spring and summer. If I could spend every day doing what these ladies are doing in these pictures, I'd be perfectly happy.

Have a wonderful weekend! xo

Friends & Picnics

On Emma, Q's Daydream Picnic Playsuit

On Me, Lolita inspired dress, Made by Me

Last Saturday Jonny and I met Emma and her hubby Tyler for a picnic at the park. It couldn't have been a more perfect day to do so! Emma and I chatted away while the boys did the same. Tyler and Emma are such a wonderful couple. Love them! :o) Emma just happened to be wearing the Q's Daydream Picnic Playsuit. Not planned, I swear, lol! Doesn't she look adorable!? The dress I'm wearing is one I whipped up inspired by a dress in the 1997 film Lolita. That movie is seriously the BEST Spring, Summer inspiration film ever. Anywho...

Thank you all SOOO much for the sweet comments about Q's Daydream Handmade! They really mean a lot to me. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! xo
