Classic Meets Boho With Denim & Tassels

Vintage embroidery, soft cotton denim, a tassel party and perfectly placed pockets makes this Caite & Kyla dress a wonderful closet addtion. I chose to lean into the boho vibes for today's post by adding a fringe kimono, but I could see this dress styled with a white jacket and flats for a more classic feel. Or how about sneakers and a ball cap like Jill at Doused in Pink sported last week with her Caite & Kyla dress?  I look forward to uncovering the fabulous versatility of this striped beauty, but until then...

How are you? As pockets of the country begin to open up are you venturing out or staying in? My oldest is back to work this week, running the drive through at Starbucks so we took our dog for a "puppaccino". Only employees are allowed in the cafe so our firstborn met us out front with Dolly's cup of whipped cream. Ethan gets a kick out of her frantically lapping up her treat while spraying the rest of us with flecks of cream.

I also enjoyed breakfast seated outside my new favorite cafe. Savoring the sunshine and the breeze, I ate my avocado toast slowly. Located in a small town, the cafe vibe was calm and peaceful. I'll be returning there soon!

The Tilda Dress by Caite & Kyla

Hello and welcome May! Does this month look different for you than last month? Not too much has changed over here. Wait. That isn't true. I'm changing. Some of what I valued before seems trivial now. I'm rediscovering the joys of the granola lifestyle with basic health principles such as: more greens, less processed foods, less sugar, no substitutes, vegetable oil, dyes and the list goes on.

In addition, I'm soaking up the sun whenever I can. I walk the dog, sit out in the back, and ride my bike through the neighborhood looking for photo spots. What must the neighbors think of this crazy family of six...

• My two older boys have the craziest head of curly hair going on. No eyes to be seen!
• My eldest takes out his long board and has the dog pull him down the road at full dog speed. It really is a sight to see!
• My twins ride willy-nilly on their scooters, bare foot without a care.
• My hubby, the most normal, makes frequent visits to the pond to fish. 

And to leave no question in their minds in regards to our weirdness, today my youngest road down the street on his scooter while I trekked along on my bicycle heavy laden with shoes, hats and other accessories. Once we found the perfect spot I began to set up the outdoor studio. Meanwhile some neighbors worked in their yard while others walked their dog.

"Hi. Just snapping some photos for the blog. Again. Twirling in my dress for effect, you know?" 

"Oh, no. You go on ahead. We still have a few more photos to take. Cute dog by the way."

And so on my friends. And so on... Life is short. Let's get our pictures and enjoy our dresses - or whatever clothes you're sporting this week!

Today's spotlight is on another lovely piece sent from Caite & Kyla. It's feminine, flowy, and features a one of a kind floral print. I love the tiered style along with the embroidery details across the front. I'm sharing ways I might wear this dress for mother's day. Let me know you favorite in the comments below!

Friday Favorites: Goodbye April

Goodbye April. You were interesting to say the least. I won't share half of what April entailed for me because Friday favorites are meant to be light and fun. And since I have a good dose of sunshine to share that's what I'll focus on - for now. Wink Wink. I'm excited so let's dive right in!
