I am pretty sure that is one look modern day Arielle would wear on a casual day to wander around her city or meet up with her father Triton to discuss some ocean news.

First of all this was a very hot day and I was sweating no matter what I did. I have realized the sweat stains under my boob and I tried to remove it with AI but it didn´t get the pattern right so I left it this way. It is life and it is what it is. The dress is still beautiful and perfect for Summer.
It is an H&M dress (still my number one stop and shop for everything) and one of my favorites I got this year. You could easily go without a bra. I removed mine along the way.

Coastal themed airy Blue and White Nursery….
….
(
Our baby is a little over one and a half years now and I finally come around to post the nursery because I wanted to change it for her toddler years and realized that I have never shared it in the first place – so here we are!!!
The room has this gorgeous deep blue wall for a long time before we even planned for her (was used as my husbands former home office) and I didn´t want to paint it again so I decided to go with it no matter the gender and I have to admit that I love the outcome of it very much. Blue is a very calming colors and decor and details matter so much that it doesn´t always has to be blush or pink to make it girly.
The Theme
I had two themes in my mind: a Ralph Lauren inspired nursery with touches of brown leather, teddy bears and blue gingham for a boy and a white and blue airy coastal theme with ocean creatures and shell details.
The second theme won and I really couldn´t start decoration although I have not finished it before she came (took me about 2 months more).
The Decor
When I am redoing a room it is always follow the same procedure. I have a theme and colors I want to incorporate and then I am looking for a carpet, curtains, pillows. These are the big main things I get first. Obviously after the furniture. Then I am getting fully into decoration. Storage bins that will match color and the aesthetic, decor that will match the theme. I want everyone to see the common thread of the room, even if no one cares but I. That should be enough am I right.
A lot of decor is sourced via Etsy, amazon and Temu. I can get customized pieces on etsy and most of the things on amazon and if amazon doesn´t have it, Temu it is. There isn´t a thing I have to compromise this wayy.
Furniture
Most of the furniture is from Ikea. I just reused the bed and the armchair from the big girls bedroom as well as the little white shelf. The rest is in this gorgeous oak shade and was a new found.

Never in my life would I have thought I´d buy this kind of dress again. It is very short and by following you might have recognized that I am definitely a lover of everything midi and maxi length. But to my own surprise I have loved it much more than I thought.
The accessories make the look here. My Poléne is my most worn bag this Summer. White canvas just matches so many many looks and the strappy sandals are really cool. The flats balance out the shortness of the dress and make it a much better day time look. I´d say adding a pair of sky high wedges and a big golden statement necklace definitely changes the whole outfit into an evening look.
