Crushing On

Minnie Mouse is one of Disney's most beloved characters, and one of the most fashionable--check out Lauren Conrad's new line of Minnie-inspired clothing for proof! For me, it's her signature polka dots that has me fashion inspired. Specifically, I am loving the raised polka dot pattern, called Dotted Swiss. It has such a vintage feel to it, I can't get enough of it. It looks absolutely classic on wedding dresses and cakes alike, but I am liking it on a casual summer blouse, paired with ripped denim. It's soft and sweet, without coming across as too school-girl. Shop my favourite Dotted Swiss looks below, and get inspired on my Pinterest page here.

Father's Day Gift Guide

Sunday, June 21st--this year's official date for celebrating all things Dad. But, what do you buy the man who genuinely wishes that you won't spend a dime on him (is it just my Dad who loves hearing his gift was bought at 50% off...)? I might be biased, but I think my Dad is the best. It takes a certain kind of patience and kind heart to parent three girls so effortlessly. So, ignoring his requests for nothing, I have gathered some unique (and economical) items I think the Dads out there will appreciate. From disgusting black liquorice that only Dad's seem to like (thanks to Julia for this great idea), to cards and of course beer, there is something here for each kooky Dad out there!
