Summer Lanterns

Love Ur Look London China Lantern Dress

Who's excited about summer?  I can't say I am (I basically live in the desert and I burn quite easily) but I do love a few things: Bianca is out of school so we can spend more time together, being able to enjoy my backyard at night without extra layers, and sun dresses!  I recently received this lantern dress from Love Ur Look London and I am so impressed.  It's so well made, the fabric is beautiful, and it's light enough to wear on even the hottest of days.  Covered and comfortable?  Yes please!

Love Ur Look Clothing is a sustainable small business that produces all their products ethically in India.  They are proud to provide their employees fair wages and a humane and safe working environment.  They also donate to Tolfa, an animal sanctuary that is near their factory.  Basically, they are committed to bringing beautiful clothing and giving back to the community and I couldn't love that more.

I'm wearing the China Lantern dress, which is a lovely 50's shirtwaist dress style.  It features cap sleeves, a statement collar, functional buttons down the bodice, fully lined skirt with front pockets, and a side zippered closure.  It also comes with a matching fabric self tie belt, which really completes the look of the dress.  I love this style so much and the fabric is just so *perfect*.  The colors are amazing and are great for summer!  I'm wearing a size small and I feel like it was the right choice.  This dress is available in sizes S-6XL and is priced under $100.  I feel like this won't be my last dress from Love Ur Look!

Deer Arrow

If you're a brooch lover like me, you probably already know about Deer Arrow.  This super popular Australian brand was started by two sisters and still remains a homemade brand.  Everything is made in Australia in small quantities, so you truly have a special piece of jewelry.  Deer Arrow just released a new collection (literally right this minute) and I feel so honored to show you some of them!  Check out my newest additions below:

Top- Trashy Diva
Pants- old (similar)

Frankie is seriously such a cute little fox!  I love her sweet little face and her floral arrangement on her ear.  I feel like she's going to get lots of wear this summer, she matches with pretty much everything!


Raven the Witch

Top- Retrolicious
Dress- Retrolicious (sold out)

As a lover of all things spooky, Raven is right up my alley!  I love her dark eyes, her bright hair, and her all too fashionable hat.  She definitely has that Halloween feel but can easily be worn all year around.


Opal the Unicorn Girl

Oh man, Opal is such a beauty!  Bianca already claimed her for her own brooch collection but I don't think I can let her go!  I love her majestic hair and (of course) her unicorn horn.  I feel like she might be the most popular of this new collection!


Wild Ruby

Ruby has certainly won over my heart!  This mushroom capped beauty is so bright and vibrant, I feel like she adds so much to any outfit.  Especially this mushroom shirt I already had in my closet, am I right?


You can shop these brooches (and more!) right now on the Deer Arrow site.  If your favorites are already sold out, there will be a second release in seven hours, at 7pm AEST (aka 2am PST).  Which ones are your favorites?  Let me know in the comments below!

Sesame Street

Can I just say how excited I am about this Erstwilder launch?  I feel like they've had the best collaborations this year and this Sesame Street collection is probably my new favorite!  Consisting of thirteen pieces (and one gift with purchase item, but we'll get to that later), this range has one statement necklace, three sets of earrings, and nine brooches.  Check out my favorites from this range below!

Cookie Monster
Sesame Street

Erstwilder Cookie Monster Brooch
Brooch- c/o Erstwilder
Top- J. Crew
Lipstick- c/o Besame Cosmetics in Chocolate Rose

I love this double brooch set!  You really can't have a Cookie Monster without a cookie so I'm glad these come together.  Cookie Monster also happens to be Bianca's favorite Sesame Street character, so I have a feeling this one won't be mine for long!


Yip Yip Earrings
Sesame Street

Erstwilder Yip Yip Earrings
Earrings- c/o Erstwilder
Top- vintage
Lipstick- c/o Besame Cosmetics in Chocolate Rose

Cookie Monster might be Bianca's favorite, but the Martians have always been mine!  I actually squealed when I saw them and I'm so happy Erstwilder included them in their range!  These are actually my very first set of Erstwilder earrings.  They're super light and don't irritate my sensitive ears.  I feel like these Yip Yips are going to add the perfect touch to all of my outfits this summer!


Oscar the Grouch
Sesame Street

Erstwilder Oscar the Grouch Brooch
Brooch- c/o Erstwilder
Top- Unique Vintage
Lipstick- c/o Besame Cosmetics in Chocolate Rose

Who doesn't love Oscar?  He's such a great character and an even better brooch!  I love the marbled resin of his home (aka the trash can) and he's a great size.  You can see him from afar but he's not annoyingly large.


Sesame Street Sign

Erstwilder Sesame Street Sign Broch

Well, you can't actually purchase this brooch but you will get one with three of your Sesame Street purchases on Erstwiler's website!  I adore this classic street sign and I think it's the perfect piece to "double brooch" with your other Sesame Street pieces.  The offer will only apply until supplies last (and if I'm correct, I don't think this collection will stick around for long).  Make sure you hop on over to the Erstwilder site to see the rest of the collection and shop your favorites now!
