Coco

 

Holy hot summer, it's been awhile sine we've dressed up and gone outside! Everyday is 100+ degrees here so we mostly keep cool at home or find fun things to do indoors. As you probably already know, we're huge fans of Ivy City Co. and their summer collection was full of gorgeous mommy and me dresses. These Coco babydoll pieces are made from a light cotton so it makes these hot days just a little more bearable.

The Coco dress has a babydoll bodice and features puff sleeves, a square neckline, a full skirt with bottom ruffle and hidden side pockets, tulle underskirt and a back zippered closure. Seriously, this dress is so full! I'm wearing a size small but I feel like I could have sized down to an XS. Bianca is wearing a size 9/10, which is a little big on her but will be wearable for years to come! The Coco dress is available in sizes XXS-5X and has both a kids and baby option so you can match with your little one.

I'm really excited because Bianca and I are headed to New York City next week! Bianca has never been so we're making a quick trip to see Josh Groban play Sweeney Todd on Broadway. My heart is so full thinking about how much fun she's going to have! Lots of food, shopping, a trip to Central Park and museum hopping are in order!

Dark Forest

 

It's the beginning of July which basically means it's spooky season! The patriotic decor has been removed from stores to make room for Halloween stuff aka my year round decor. I don't know about you but I've been hoping for some extra serotonin this year and Halloween getting closer is basically the best it's going to get! La Femme En Noir has their very own Cottage Witch collection and this Dark Forest dress was at the top of my list. Stretchy, sexy and perfectly spooky, it's the piece that's light enough to wear in summer but easily a top contender for the hopefully many Halloween-themed events I'll attend in the fall.

Dress- La Femme En Noir

Shoes- c/o T.U.K. Footwear

Hat- The Beheaded

Bag- c/o Unique Vintage

The Dark Forest dress is made from a stretchy knit fabric that features a plunging v-neckline, lightly padded shoulders with an elastic cuff sleeve, gathered skirt with deep side pockets and a back zippered closure. The print boasts everything a cottage witch desires: frogs, flowers, brooms, bats, goats and cauldrons. I wear almost everything from La Femme in a size small and I'm comfortably wearing a small in this dress. While the fabric is stretchy, I would not recommend sizing down due to the woven fabric. If it stretches too much the print could distort! You can't tell from these photos but it was 101 degrees outside and I felt just fine in this dress!

The Dark Forest dress is available in sizes XS-4X and is also available in a solid black. You can shop this dress and the rest of the Cottage Witch collection HERE!
