Lovely Things: EASTER!

Easter is upon us! Easter is probably my favorite holiday. I'm not sure why but it has always been a big deal in our family. Which is odd because we're not even that religious. Easter is that holiday that finally gets you all together, out of the house and the essence of spring is everywhere! I just adore it! PLUS pretty pastels, bunnies, eggs, flowers and yummy treats. How could you not love that? Anyways with the first day of April and Easter approaching here are some of my favorite easter-ish interweb finding!

I just adore wee lil'buns! (Source)

Song and Doodle #45

Today's song is a lovely summery song by Jesse Harris! I first heard the song Secret Sun on some TV show. I've loved it ever since! All of his stuff is really nice. Fits into the singer song writer category that sits oh so close to my heart! I'm clinging to this guys tunes to feel a bit more summery! Spring in Utah is always bitter sweet, beautiful sunny days only to be followed by cold thunder storms! Luckily for me I've got good tunes to chase away the grey clouds! Anyways, I hope this little tune brightens your day! Let me know what you think, do you love it or hate it?

"We were once the only ones, Who knew of the secret sun

Shining down where no one goes, In a place that no one knows"

List of Thoughts as of Late! (+Links)

1- I'm quite obsessed with the app Faded. It just too much fun messing with photos. Also kind of a time waster, but hey at least now I've got a really neat photo of shu-tzi!
2- I backed Green Pea Cookies on kickstarter a while ago and I'm so excited to try them!
3-We tried a new restaurant this past weekend called Asian Potato. A week later we're still talking about how quirky and yummy it was.
4- I've been having trouble sleeping lately. Which means I'm bound for a lazy weekend!
5- I've been using THIS makeup as of late and I'm really loving the way it makes my face feel. I can't wait to try THIS one next!
6- I saw this cactus pillow DIY that I really wanna try out! It looks easy enough.
7- The weather lately has been perfectly spring! A hint of chilly with a bit of sun shine!
8- I've been craving lasagna lately! I want to make 5 of them and eat THEM ALL!!
9- Sometimes I worry that my life is too boring but then I remember that in the end its my life and I can make it what I want. Everyones lives are different. I need to stop comparing myself to others!
10-I can't believe easter is almost here! Craziness.

Lovely Things: Spring Dresses!

I'm on the epic quest for a new Easter dress! I've admittedly been putting on a few pounds the last few months. SO I figured its time to measure myself and buy a new spring dress to make me feel better! (yeah, yeah I'll get around to exercising eventually.) I actually haven't ever take my measurements before. I'm not sure if it is out of fear or just because I didn't know how. BUT regardless of what the numbers are its good information to know! SO I looked it up and found THIS! I'm quite excited to get a dress that fits well and doesn't take 4 hours of being at the mall trying on clothes that are too small or too big! I'm hoping this works out. Here are a few of my favorites that I've found on Etsy!

This is probably one of my all time favorite dresses BUT its way out of my price range AND isn't very springy! ZEPHIandtheDEVIL

I adore this mint dress with its little cap sleeves! Fleet Collections

 

As far as floral dresses go this one takes the cake! PLUS I love that you can customize it! Luminia

 I think I love this dress mostly because it looks comfy like I could wear it for weeks! LorettaScarves

 I love the length of this dress! I bet its really fun to twirl around in! Jackie and Johnny 50

Now this is probably on the bottom on my list. BUT it oozes spring and reminds me of my grandmas old prom dress. So I just had to include it! SilkWormVintage
