What a crazy busy week!

So what have I been up to this last week? Well...passing my immigration interview (!), packing up most of the house, weeding through what to keep or not, finding an officiant, and a ceremony location, all the general joy that comes with moving, and also attending a wonderful wedding for my friend Allysun.

Allysun and Reid were married last Saturday and it was definitely up there a a contender for one of the nicest weddings I have been to. The weather was perfect, there was so much love in the air, and everyone had a wonderful time. I even was able to convince Tim to dance with me for a good amount of time (I was shocked and thrilled, he is not a dancing type).

I wish I had remembered to bring my camera with me, but Tim's phone did a pretty decent job.

 Mmm lemon cake, with lemon icing/drizzle. The homemade cherry tarts off the right were to die for too.

Who doesn't love a giant balloon at a wedding?

Photo booth op!

Something Similar: Anthropologie Galah Dress vs Hayden Harnett Plume Wrap Dress

I was catching up on blogs this morning, and over at J'aime shopping, I saw a review of a dress that caught my attention. For one, a feather printed frock, and also, because Anthropologie's Galah Dress eerily reminded me of Hayden Harnett's Plume wrap dress.



While the Galah dress has an extra seem on the arms, the overall silhouette and print are definitely similar. I have the Plume wrap dress, and comparing how J'aime shopping looks in the Galah dress to myself in the Plume dress, the fit of the dress is the same. 

I find that a wrap dress is a great piece and works for many different situations, so here are a few feather printed ones that have struck my fancy. Not affiliated to any of the following.

 Love the colours of this one. It would be fabulous in the fall with boots/booties, tights, and a chunky knit cardigan.

BHLDN: What a perfect dress for a courthouse wedding

I think I am in love with another wedding dress...oh dear.

BHLDN Origami Pleated Dress by Hitherto

Is it wrong to have two dresses? We are having two "ceremonies"...
