BLUE DREAMSICLE







photos by sara walk

Here's a happy story for your Tuesday morning. Embroidered dresses are flooding the internet like crazy, right? Well, I'm completely obsessed with every one of them. I can't get enough. So a few months ago I pinned this image of a gorgeous embroidered blue dress, and since I couldn't find a dress source, I decided to just make one. There was basically zero chance that I ever would find a fabric similar to it, but I'm a crazy optimist. So, you know...I held out hope. And then, not two weeks later, I walked into Old Navy and this blue embroidered beauty was hanging on the rack -- the dress gods were clearly on my side. It was a little short for me, so I sized up three sizes to make it knee length, and then used this tutorial to resize the sleeves and shoulders to fit. And now my embroidered dress dreams have come true. 

Sadly this dress is out of stock at Old Navy, but I've rounded up a couple of my favorite sort of similar embroidered dresses below! Click the images below to shop them!

IT'S IN THE DETAILS (AND A GIVEAWAY!)

I'm currently obsessed with beautiful details in my clothing right now, so I've totally fallen for the embroidery trend that is huge for summer.  I think embroidery, simple or intricate, adds such a perfect "handmade" touch to any lightweight dress or top, and this gorgeous floral embroidered top from Trend Addictions is no exception. It makes a simple, slouchy tee so special and feminine, and it's one of my new favorites.  (I also just ordered this embroidered one from J.Crew Factory, snagged a dress similar to this one from Forever 21, and I'm also trying to figure out how to DIY at least one without spending a million hours...I can't get enough!)

Today I've teamed up with Trend Addictions for a fantastic $75 gift card giveaway to their shop! It's a gorgeous little Anthropologie-esque shop with items for your home, baby, and of course, yourself! I'm totally in love with these wooden bowls and plates, and think these stackable wooden animals are the cutest thing ever.
