It's beginning to feel a lot like summer

Summer for me means shorts, cute spaghetti strap tops, sandals, strawhats, sunglasses & sundresses.

My first project this spring was to make a sundress. I officially finished the final touches on it today and was so excited I just had to share some photos with you.







I can't wait to wear this somewhere special with some fun strappy white sandals...or maybe my friend Samantha will let me borrow her Jessica Simpson brand orange gladiator sandals? Hint, hint.

I am also looking forward to pairing this dress with my beautiful frog cocktail ring I bought from Lucid New York. The orange stone is the same color as the embroidery on the sundress. Stunning!

The design of this dress was inspired by one of my favorite actresses, Diane Lane, and her character "Francis" from the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun."

Ladybugs, lots & lots of ladybugs!!!
