Another day, another cat dress

Remember that time I really wanted that cat dress? ( the answer is actually all the time.) I just wanted to share the newest addition into the darcy lynn allan wardrobe.

I finally splurged and bought this dress by the talented Leah Goren. It's cream. It's black. It's covered in cat faces. Need I say more.

Oh and that adorable little neck thing? That is my first (  cause I'm obviously buying a second) lady tie by Flapper Girl.  It was a delightful day.

The Girl with the Cupcake for a Heart

Newest illustration.

Once upon a time there was a girl with a normal heart. But then one day she bought one of those cupcake kits at the grocery store on sale. It was 30% off.

As she was leaving someone said " oh my lan, where did you get that kit?" She pointed to aisle 4 where the kits were stacked. The woman responded with a "bless your heart."

That was the moment it turned into a cupcake. Because she was holding the kit so close to her chest.

Melamine me...

Remember that time I told you about my little 50's dinnerware obsession? No? You can recap on my last purchase here.

Now onto my newest melamine find. I walked into this little vintage furniture boutique on queen west a few weeks ago and my eyes were immediately drawn to these speckled, pastel beauties.

Not only did I manage to find SEVEN amazing melamine pieces BUT they were also in my colors...ANNND ONLY $10 FOR THE ENTIRE SET. Upon cleaning them later that night I found a small sticker that read "set of 7 $32.50." Looks like my $10 purchase was supposed to be a little bit steeper. One person's absent mindedness is another person's treasure trove of thick plastic dinnerware.


On another note: I am in love with this three toned shift dress from Romwe. It's a cotton candy dream!

White, Blue and Pink Collared

Ahhhh I finally finished one of my on going illustration projects...I think. I really wanted to complete this as I'll be using it in my revamp of my website in the coming weeks. In between work, comissions (ps working on branding a little marshmallow business at the moment... basically so excited to start this), running ( I have a few half marathons coming up and I'm looking to get under 1:43 before the year is up), keeping social as to not make my friends think I am a hermit, and trying to wash my hair at least twice a week...personal time is really difficult to come by.

You don't even want to see how much laundry I have to do. Although I am very up on the vacumming and housework. A clean house makes a happy house! But oh my, the laundry....

Without further ado, I present--- White, Blue and Pink Collared. The classes of fashion.
