Hemlock

Ovate Hemlock Dress in Black Southern California Belle
 
Hot ghoul summer is here! I'm usually a fan of sleeves but they're almost impossible to wear right now. I've officially reached the time where I'm looking for all the sleeveless options. I had been eyeing this Hemlock dress from Ovate for well over a year and I finally gave in this spring. This piece is light, fits like a dream and is perfect for all my summerween plans!

Ovate is a small, woman-owned business that takes pride in their small quantities and their commitment to preventing waste. They create beautiful, timeless pieces that are meant to be worn for a lifetime. The Hemlock dress is made from a cotton/linen blend and features an open neckline, v-shaped waistline, gathered skirt, raw hem and back zippered closure. Since Ovate operates in Canada, I wanted to make sure I got the right size. I waffled between a small and a medium but ultimately went with the medium so I could wear long sleeved shirts underneath during the cooler months. I could have worn the small but I like having the extra room for layers. This dress is so beautiful and easy to wear, I wish I had it in all the colors they offer! If I had to be picky, I would say that this dress needs some pockets and I wish they offered more sizes but I'm overall very happy with the Hemlock dress. You can shop this dress in many different colors and fabric options in sizes XS-XL.

I'm super excited to show off these new accessories from Lipstick and Chrome! I live for cute lucite purses and this Art Deco inspired marbled bag is perfect for fancy and/or spooky functions in my future. I also look forward to their collaboration with Johanna Parker every year and these Bloomin' Luna pieces are *everything*. I know it's still summer but these cuties really get me excited about the most wonderful time of the year! Expect to see a lot more spooky outfits here, I'm officially working on all things Halloween from now until October 31st!

Rowan

Ivy City Co Rowan Dress Southern California Belle
 
It's summer break, y'all! Bianca is home for the summer which means we have lots of fun adventures planned. One of the first things we did is take a nature hike at one of our favorite parks. We may have been a little overdressed in our new Ivy City Co dresses but they were comfortable and perfect for the weather.

The Rowan dress is a new style and features a smocked bodice with functional buttons down the front, puff sleeves and a tiered skirt with hidden side pockets. This dress is super stretchy so I took my smaller size XS and it's a great fit. Bianca went with a 9-10 and it fits her with a little room to grow. I'm overall happy with this dress and I'm glad Bianca and I have yet another outfit that we can twin in!

You can find the Rowan in sizes XXS-5X for adults and 12months-13/14 in kids. If you're new to Ivy City Co and you've never ordered from them before, make sure to use the code 15OFFSCB to get a discount on your order!
