Modlily Purchases for Summer

This is not a sponsored post but I mentioned on the blog awhile back that I had put in a large order for summer things with a new to me company called Modlily.  A few people asked me about them since they had never heard of the company either. I didn't want to share what I ordered until the items had come in and I had a chance to try them on, wear them a bit, see what the material/fit was like.

I kept nearly everything I ordered; only returning a few items (most of those being white dresses or pants and because they weren't lined they were totally see through!).  These aren't high end items; I'd equate them to like Target or Walmart type purchases but overall I am pleased with what I got compared to the prices I paid and returns were fairly easy too. 

I didn't really need another bathing suit but that is what drew me to their site.  I have been trying for years to find a comfortable 2 piece suit that is NOT a halter neck and has ample support and coverage on top.  I ordered 3 bathing suits and ended up keeping all 3!!  I love them and am actually excited about wearing bathing suits this year. 

I really liked that while the bathing suit is sold/priced as a set I can order one size for the top and another for the bottoms if needed.  I sized up on all my suits and ordered tops and bottoms in larges.

suit 2

suit 3 

I debated about taking photos of me in them...but it hasn't been warm enough to even think of wearing a bathing suit yet this year. 

I've already shared this sunflower dress I wore to the botanical gardens and while the same dress is no longer available they do have one with yellow sunflowers that looks like it's probably the exact same style. 


I have been wearing these black, wide-leg, smocked waisted pants at least once a week. They are so comfy!



I kept this dress to use as a bathing suit cover up





I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of these earrings


My favorite of all is this pretty rainbow hued, off the shoulder dress that I plan to wear on our next date night! 


Some things I did notice about the site-- not everything comes in a wide array of sizes.  I found that most items I ordered I used my regular sizing and they seemed to fit.

    I've not heard of Modlily but I've had a look and I can see me using them in the future.
    What great buys, I love that sunflower dress. I am gutted the same colour one is no longer available. I would have bought myself one.

      Keep checking! I find that often items cycle through again.

    I am so impressed with Modlilly's bathing suits and my favorite cover up is from them too. It's always nice to find a new brand with good stuff. You made some great choices Joanne!

    That navy and polka dot swimsuit is so cute! How fun to have three new suits for the summer. Cute clothes-I love to find new to me stores that sell items that I like at a price I like.

      Funny enough that I do buy a couple each summer... and yet I rarely wear them!

    I feel like the site is the same as Rotita, and they do have such a wonderful selection and prices. I always hate to spend a lot on swimwear because they wear out easy with the chlorine and such.
    Love all the suits and that date dress is the best.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
