This dress was all about the detail of the studded shoulders. I liked the colorful python print, but didn't like the cowl neckline. In the end, those studded epaulets got me!
I bought this dress last summer and I'm still loving the color and the print. Buying clearance at the end of the season does have the risk of not liking it in the future so I'm really trying to be more selective in my buys. It's hard when I find good deals though!
It's my birthday and we're celebrating! Stella & Dot Stylist, Deanne Kasim is treating you to a gift! She is generously offering a $20 Stella & Dot gift card in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Deanne already donates her Stella & Dot proceeds to the Westie Rescue of Mid-Atlantic so this month, your Breast Cancer Boutique purchase will support both Westies Rescue doggies and the Noreen Fraser Foundation. Deanne provided the following Peony tech wallet to feature today. Unfortunately, this pink Breast Cancer Boutique version has since sold out, but you can still order the snakeprint or orange tech wallets.
One of my favorite things about Stella & Dot is the cute packaging! You can see how the tech wallet was already gift boxed in the orange and pink floral print box in the top picture, perfect for gift giving! Even the little instruction cards look cute! The tech wallet fits my Iphone3 and most cell phones should also fit in that middle pocket, according to Deanne. It's a nice compact size for quick trips to the store, with space for credit cards and cash. I love how it zips all the way around so you don't have to worry about losing anything. Stop by the Breast Cancer Boutique to see all the limited-edition products. Deanne is also having a Mystery Hostess Online Trunk Show, where the winner of the gift card and anyone else who orders through the show might earn even more free stuff! Contact Deanne for more details. Giveaway details:

We took pictures at Treasure Island on our wedding day so it's always nice to return there. It was an especially pretty day with the perfect weather. We spent time checking out Treasure Island flea where we picked up some fun jewelry and good eats from the food trucks. I love trying something new or not, just to get a variety from the different trucks.
Add in a little shopping at Bay St and I'm a happy camper.
Started with the bag and chose the shorts to match. I initially had another belt on, but changed to this madras fabric belt because of the darker colors.
I wore this outfit to the zoo once and mr. shopfreak kept asking me
questions as if I were a zoo employee. I love theme dressing, it's all about the perfect outfit for that specific occasion. It's what makes fashion fun!
