Bright Lilly Pulitzer Summer Date Night Outfit

Last weekend Russ and I went out to dinner at Malo for our anniversary! This next weekend will be our 12th anniversary! It has been so hot here in Iowa, and it totally feels like summer. This outfit was perfect for a summer-like date night!

Stitch Fix #7

Happy Wednesday! It's time for another Stitch Fix review! For my latest fix I requested summer pieces that could be worn with a bra, specifically rompers because I love a good romper and it's a one and done outfit!

This post contains referral links which means if you purchase though my link I will get Stitch Fix credit. 

If you aren't familiar with Stitch Fix, you pay a $20 styling fee, then a stylist selects five items based on your style profile and any notes you leave with requests for things you'd like.  

Here's what was in my box: 

In this fix I requested rompers that could be worn with a bra. This one was spot on, but I already have a SUPER similar romper in gray and black, so keeping this one didn't make sense. Had it been a different color, it would have been a keeper!

This romper was cute, but with the halter, It can't be worn with a normal bra. I don't love halters. The fabric on this one was so comfy and had it been a normal sleeveless top, It would have been a keeper. 

This jumpsuit was so cute, but it was a little tight in the torso. I felt like it would not be comfortable. It also wasn't very easy to get in and out of because it didn't have a lot of stretch. If it would have been a little longer in the torso, I probably would have kept it. I love the dark background with floral. 

When I first peeked at my box, I didn't think this would be the keeper, but it was. I love the pattern mix, it pairs well with these red shorts, and I could see myself wearing it with jean or jean shorts, too!

I was happy that my stylist stuck with my request for thick straps. This top was super cute, but I wasn't a huge fan of the ruffle going below the arm.  The price was great, but I thought the other top was more up my alley for summer. 

All in all, it was a pretty good fix. Have you tried Stitch Fix yet? If you want to try Stitch Fix for free, use this link to get your first styling fee waived!

Two Layer Monster Truck Birthday Cake Tutorial

I'm not a Pinterest Mom by any means, more of an Amazon Prime Mom, but I do love to make the cakes for my boys' birthdays. Sometimes it's cupcakes and sometimes its a full out cake. For Calvin's birthday last week, I went to Pinterest to get some inspiration for a monster truck cake, and then I put my own spin on it. 

I took a Wilton Cake Decorating Class at my local Michael's Store back in 2011 and the things I've learned have come in handy so many times.

Today I wanted to walk you though how I made Calvin's cake! I realize the lighting isn't fabulous, but there's only so much you can do when your'e working on a cake at 9:00 at night.

I went to the SeneGence Seminar in Tulsa, OK last weekend. It was so wonderful to learn some new things and be surrounded by ladies who are also in the business. I also got to meet our founder and the president of the company which was cool, too!
