| okay, this is totally who I want to be! |

| I am inspired by this dress! The ugly tires are a nice touch! lol. |
In the summer, my kate spade purchases seem to get fewer as Texas leaves little room for clothing in it's extreme heat. The silk that most of these dresses are made of gets hard and crunchy when it drys after being sweaty. This can really be a problem when it is 100 degrees outside and even more in the car. I try to stick with loose cotton dresses all summer so I will probably be making some like these but in thin cotton. Lucky all of you who live in cooler climates! I may be able to pick up one or two of these at the end of the season to wear in the fall/winter. Check out the really cute lookbook here!
Live Colorfully!

What I wore: DIY kate spade Jillian dress
I went to vote today so I wore red white and blue. This dress is my feeble attempt at the kate spade Jillian dress. I ruined one of my Jillians by spilling bleach on it so I cut it up to see how to make the little waist detail. I am so glad that I did because I would never have figured it out otherwise. One dress bites the dust but paves the way for many many more to be made!!!
Now that I know how to do it, I am planning several more dresses. I have seen this style on many vintage dresses and even have a dress pattern that has this waist treatment. Here are some of the adaptations i pinned on Pinterest of the Jillian style...they were actually first, I guess the Jillian is an adaptation of them!

New Charm Skirt on my Etsy shop
I have been a little lax on posting outfits because I have been designing another skirt for my Sandee Royalty Etsy shop . It is a much needed design because it is less expensive and really comfortable! So far I have released it in 7 novelty fabrics for summer. Robots,cherries,butterflies,cupcakes and more!
This is the little description from my shop:
The Charm Skirt was designed to be collected just like charms on a charm bracelet! Each skirt is made from a fun and whimsical novelty print chosen to brighten your day when you put it on. The Charm skirt is also designed for comfort. Finally, you can be cute and comfy too! The simple waistband is a large band of elastic that can stretch to fit snugly at the waist or lower on the hips depending on preference. The full skirt is unlined 100% cotton fabric, giving it a lower price point of $40 and making it much lighter and cooler for summer days. It can also be special ordered with a light grey satin lining for an additional $7 for those who prefer not to wear a slip. It is still beautifully made with finished seams and a deep hem.
The Charm Skirt is a really great skirt for those in the middle loosing weight or the first months for expectant mothers and perfect for after the baby too! Every closet needs some Charm!
I hope you enjoy being the first to see it and find a few skirts that you would like to wear. It was only listed for an hour when I had my first order! How fun!
Remember that in may I am giving everyone free shipping with the code CHARMING2012 at checkout.
Have a super holiday! I am heading out to the outlet mall to check out the kate spade outlet Memorial Day sale...

Selling my new villabella avenue Quinn
I finally came to the decision to sell my new villabella Quinn bag! I have had it in the closet for about three weeks and haven't used it so I was going to return it to the store but I can't find the receipt! I thought I would make it available to my readers first before listing it on eBay. It is a creamy white with a navy bow and polka dot lining. The retail price is $345 but I know I got it on sale. I can't remember how much but I am going to list it for $200 if the buyer will pay 12.00 for shipping. I think that is less than what I paid but I will raise the price when I sell it on eBay because of their fees. I can ship it out as soon as I receive payment. If you are interested please email me at sandeeroyalty@yahoo.com.
Have a happy day!!!
