Cut out dress giveaway! – CLOSED

By

Happy Friday everyone! I’m running my first blog giveaway today. I just realized recently that I’ve never had a giveaway on my blog and I should. I really appreciate all of you for reading, commenting and supporting this small diary of mine, and wanted to give something back.

So, I’m giving away this cut out dress! I made this to wear to my friend’s wedding last April, and it’s only been worn once. It’s made out of poly satin in gray, and perfect for weddings, cocktail parties..etc. I really like this dress, but I am not am not sure with the baby soon to arrive when the next opportunity will be for me to wear something dressy.  No reason to have this sitting in the closet waiting on death row.

Here are the measurements  Length 34″, Bust 32″, Waist 25″.
I know the size limitations makes it a bit hard, but I hope this dress will find a nice new home:)

I snapped these photos after I came back from running some errands today. Thank God for the easily accessible self-timer and remote! I lost my remote a while ago, but happened to find it under the couch while I was cleaning. I’m happy that I didn’t rush and buy a new one :p

While I was running some errands, I could not resist the temptation to stop at Mister Donuts. I don’t know if you have Mister Donuts in your country, but it’s awesome. I like Crispy Creame and Dunkin Donuts, but they cannot even compare to Mister Donuts.   Mister Donuts’ donuts are not too sweet and have a terrific soft chewy texture.  Some of them are really fun, they come in the shape of bears or lions  And most come have a whipped cream filling and are covered in chocolate. As I said, I picked one up today and was chowing down while browsing through a shoe store. Then….. I saw myself in the mirror.  I really looked pregnant! Round face, big belly and a donuts in hand. It was quite comical.

I had a doctor’s check up earlier this week, and the baby is doing well. She is estimated to weight 2200 grams now. Since she got big, she cannot fit in one screen for the ultra-sound, and her picture has to be divided in two.

We received some gifts for the baby from our excited family:
My mom made this cute pouch with strawberry zipper charm. I think it would be perfect to carry some small items, like pacifiers?

 From my mother-in-law: some head clips and head bands in different pastel colors. I love little baby girl’s head bands, especially on bald head babies. I wonder if my baby will be born with a lot of black hair like other Asian babies, or be bald..

 More clothes…

 I finally put up the castle decal on  the wall. The nursery still does not look all that exciting.  Hopefully Andy and I can get some more decorating done.

Finally here is a short “behind the scenes” clip from our maternity photo shoot. We had the photos taken at 31 weeks, and are waiting for the finished products – I really can’t wait to see them myself and show you here!

Inspiration: Sretsis/Autumn Winter 2011

While I was busy preparing for Spring clothes for my shop, isn’t it crazy to see some designers are already ready for Autumn Winter 2011?! I can never think that far ahead! 
For some reasons, this Sretsis Autumn/Winter collection strikes me as more of “Spring” collection, perhaps because of the light weight fabrics and pinks. I love the 70s inspired feel to this collection, especially the top left one!
