Shopping Cart Sunday v.2

This weekend I'm all about dresses! I have two fabulous weddings approaching in early September (one is my brother's!!) back in my home province of Ontario.  I imagine it will still be quite warm so have been scouring & searching for the perfect dresses.
One dress was purchased a few months ago from Torrid. An adorable strapless floral dress that I will pair with a cute bolero.  I'm going to make you all wait for that one though!

In the mean time I've been trying to decide (& save money for) on the perfect to wear to my brother's outdoor/barn wedding.  We are all considering this 'event' to be the party of the year, so I obviously need a dress to match the occasion! Knowing how fun & wonderful this wedding will be I know that it is the perfect excuse to make my first eShakti order, especially since they have now opened their shipping up to Canadian orders!

If you aren't familiar with eShakti here are a few things you should know;

• almost all their design are customizable (sleeves, length, bust, height, neckline...)
• sizes run from xs to 3x!
• they charge Canadians the same for shipping as US residents, which includes free shipping on orders over $100 right now!!

Just reading their 'mission' makes me happy to have found this great site!
So shown in this blog are a few of the dresses I've (currently) narrowed down my selection to for the wedding.

Here you can see one style in two different colours that I like.  
I'm particularly fond of this one;

I think this style could be flattering & I would probably get several wearings out of it;

I adore this one & all of it's pretty detail but wonder if it will flatter my shape or be a bit too fancy;

And finally there is this style in two different shades of blue;

So that is it for this week's Shopping Cart - now all that is left to do is choose the perfect one for the wedding of the year!! Would love to hear your opinions!

The Fabulous Maxi?



Items from Yours Clothing



I don't like maxi dresses.
I don't think maxi dresses are a good idea for my body type.

But then I stumble onto something... I peruse Yours Clothing, (even though I'm without work or cash flow at the moment) & all of a sudden spot the above two dresses. I tried to pass them right by.. I really did! To no avail obviously.

Sometimes us girls, we just see something & know it is right... know it's the right cut/fit/colour even if it contradicts all previously uttered statements.
Just in the last month;
Me: I hate maxi dresses. I think they would look awful on me..
Me: A maxi dress on me is just a fancy mu mu...

Six summers ago I got married in what I thought/think is the most beautiful dress in the world. Check it out;

Dad & I. Dress custom made by Peach Berserk

Obviously I don't hate ALL maxi dresses!

So now that I finally found not 1 but 2 that I think would be perfect... I just have to wish for the dress fairy to bring them to me.. right?


*since writing this last night & tweeting how much I love their maxi dresses... http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/ announced a sale this morning on maxi's!! That's almost a dress fairy, isn't it???
