Disney Dress: Easter

I apologize, I fell off the blog posting boat while working on my outfits for the Walt Disney World Marathon Weeked. But since I am currently out of fabric from all the outfits I made for that trip and also my upcoming trip to Disney for the Princess Half Marathon, I figured I should start posting some of my outfits again.  I decided to share the Easter dress I made for myself first since I will not be wearing this dress at Disney.  The fabric I used was cotton lyrca from BCD fabrics from her surprise Easter retail. I think this fabric is absolutely adorable. I will add the link to the website  here  and the link to the Facebook page  here . Unfortunately there was very limited retail of this fabric so I do not think there is any left.  For the dress itself, I mashed together the Wiggle Dress and Sweetheart Dress from Patterns for Pirates.  The top is the off the should top from the Wiggle Dress. I will link the Wiggle Dress pattern  here   I love the off the shoulder top, there is ela

Ordering from Lush UK

Okay, so I know forever ago I posted about an order that I placed on the lush UK website. But I really just want to make this blog post about what it is like to order from the lush UK website, because I feel I had gone in a little blind when I did.

The only reason I wanted to order from the lush UK website in the first place was because they had the Easter stuff way before the North American website did, but I never realized how much cheaper it can actually be to order from their UK site either.

Anyway lets get started with the facts.

One thing that is different on the UK website is that you can buy the fresh face masks, but this is something I do not recommend because with how long shipping can be your mask may not get to you within three weeks, and with it not being refrigerated that whole time it just seems like a bit of a waste.

Another random fact is that for the UK website you need to add a message saying what samples you would like to get in your package, but my experience with samples has been that because when I order the weight of my order is that close to being bumped up to the next size that I have never gotten the samples I asked for, but they are normally very generous with their samples.

When you are looking at lush goodies on the UK website the cost for each item is in pounds, so the first thing you want to do is have a currency converter page open so you can easily figure out how much the item cost in dollars. It is also a good idea to have the NA website page open as well so you can see how much you are saving and if it is worth it, some things have a difference of $10 others just $0.03.

Another thing to watch for is the exchange rate, it changes almost every hour, so how much something costs in the morning could be very different then what it costs at night. 

Because the UK website has been known for getting hacked I strongly strongly recommend paying with paypal, and as soon as you check out you are taken to the paypal website where they tell you what the exchange rate is at that time and how much you owe. 

So once you place your order you get an email from lush saying they have received your order, and then about two days or so you will get an email saying that your order has been shipped. Now the lush UK site using the royal mail shipping service, and does not provide a tracking number, and they say that your order will be delivered within 10 working days.

If that is not the case you can email lush and say you would like to have your order reissued, and they will ship out your order again, but what happens if you get both orders then is that you can ship the one back to them, or keep the extra and just pay half price for the second package. Its really up to you.

I hope this blog post has helped to clear up any questions you may have about ordering on the lush UK website

Disney Outfit #4 - Minnie Mouse Shorts

I do not think I mentioned it before but part of my upcoming trip to Disney will be a 4 night Disney Cruise so for my fourth outfit, I created this super comfy shirt and shorts to wear while we are on the ship.  The fabric for the shorts is a woven fabric from Joann Fabric. The fabric used for the shirt is a knit fabric from Joann Fabric.  The pattern I used for the shirt is the Sweet Tee from Patterns for Pirates, which can be found  here .  I love this shirt pattern. It has dolman style sleeves that are bands so you do not have to hem them. I think I finally mastered added a neckband to shirts now too.  The pattern I used for the shorts was the Linen Loungers from Patterns for Pirates, which can be found  here .   These shorts are so super comfy. I am definitely going to use this pattern to make more shorts for the cruise. Even though they are made with woven fabric, they fit really well, do not feel constricting in anyway and they even have an elastic waistband for added co

Disney Outfit #3 - Disney Snacks

For my third outfit for my upcoming trip to Disney, I created this amazing sweetheart dress to match the Minnie Mouse ears my mom got for me! The Disney Snacks fabric used for this sweetheart dress is knit fabric from Christys Cute Designs .  The pattern I used for the dress was the Sweetheart dress from Patterns for Pirates, which can be found  here .  For this dress I did the tank top option with the mini skirt. I also used fold over elastic for the neckline. The ears are sequin Minnie Mouse pair that my mom got for me for our second Princess Half Marathon. I do have to admit, I may have quite a few outfits matching these ears.  Can someone take me to Disney for a Dole Whip right now please? This fabric makes me hungry!  For my next outfit, I will be creating a pair of shorts out of this adorable Minnie Mouse Fabric!
