Iced Tea and Cupcakes







Ordering from ASOS was quite a failure. I am a size 2/4 but I went off of the measurements ASOS provided which put me at a size 6. And when my clothes came the other day, they were quite big on me as the measurements ASOS provided were not correct at all. The size 6 coat I bought was a regular size 6 coat you'd find pretty much anywhere in the U.S. The coat size I want seems to be out of stock on their site so I think I would be quite upset if it truly is out of stock. Some items ASOS have out of stock comes back in stock so I hope the size I want is not out. It's just such a beautiful spring jacket.

So, to relax myself after the disappointing order, I made these delicious cupcakes. The frosting was way too sweet, but I loved decorating it. And the Thai iced tea with it was lovely. If you haven't tried Thai iced tea yet, it is really good. It's a orange-brown mixture of brewed Thai tea and milk cream that is just oh-so-yummy.

The Smell Spring in the Air










Yesterday was so beautiful out! I was fine wearing just my cardigan and knit leggings. So I hope this means that Spring will soon be here to stay. Blossoms have not sprung up yet, but I have hope. I think you can tell you happy I am about the warm weather with the cheesiness of my photos, but I can't help myself. A little sunshine and warmth brightens up my day.

And I guess you know by now that I love polka-dots. There's just something retro and vintage about polka-dots that it never gets old for me. It gives an outfit a classic vintage look without even trying. The print of this dress is quite darling, but I am not a huge fan of the material. The dress itself tends to ride up my waist when I move and the fabric can get quite static. But it's light and airy so it's perfect for summer walks and outings.

A Week of Relaxation





Hello all! After being MIA due to a hectic week of essays and midterms, I can finally rest for Spring Break. I plan to attempt to sew which will probably be a total failure, but I'm okay with that. I have to start somewhere. I also bought the cutest little girls' sewing book, Carefree Clothes for Girls, the other day. It has the most adorable outfits ever and the pictures are styled so beautiful as well. That gorgeous sewing book should help motivate me to learn how to sew.

The weatherman has projected 50s for Thursday and Friday so I cannot wait!!!! Hopefully, I can get some gorgeous pictures outside again.
