For the past few weeks life has been extra busy. With the upcoming dress collection, blogging, prepping a new e-course and designing a little blog makeover (smiles!) I've been feeling a little crazy. This weekend I'm planning to do nothing but shoe shop, catch up on e-mails and sleep in…… What do you look forward to when you're super busy?
Outfit Details: Dress c/o Lace Affair, Glasses/Red Velvet, Belt/Vintage, Shoes c/o ModCloth, Lipstick/Always Apricot by L'oreal.

you look so pretty, elsie! can’t wait to see what you’re working on. when i’m super busy, i look forward to staying in and watching silly TV. haha.
Should I buy that dress NOW or wait until pay day…hmmm…now I think.
I <3 your e-courses. Whatever they may be. Happy weekend!
Watching Gilmore Girls and taking baths! There are no baths on tour.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress! how cute those giant glasses are..hee
Ohhh this outfit is so pretty and fresh, you look lovely! I wish I looked this put together when I am super busy haha. I think your weekend sounds lovely, I love a good long brunch with a magazine and my journal when I have had a super hectic week x
I love how you dedicated a weekend to shoe shop! i always look forward to sleeping in and eating out 🙂
You look stunning. Wow!
This is such a pretty outfit! It’s vibrant and makes me so happy! Hooray for Friday being tomorrow! Hmmm…When I’m super busy I guess I just focus on enjoying the ride! I like keeping busy because even as tempting as staying in my PJ’s all day watched reality show marathons and downing sweets I know I’ll get bored! I’m a person who really thrives on productivity. I like projects, list making, and adventures with friends. Sometimes it does get exhausting…and when that happens I look forward to quiet. I look forward to getting up early, making breakfast, and sitting at the computer. I look forward to having some ‘me time’ designing and creating.

What a beautiful dress! Hmmm I feel like I have been on an endless holiday this year (and am actually quite over it). But when I am really busy I always look forward to a hot shower at the end of the day, my morning Chai tea (followed y a coffee) and that delicious feeling when you first fall into bed at night!
When I’m feeling busy, I wish for nothing more than a couple of hours of lying on the couch with a blanket (it’s winter down here in NZ right now), a magazine and my kitty curled up next to me! That’s my only plan for the weekend! 🙂
P.s. Love those shoes!
Can’t wait to see your new dress collection! I’m sure it’ll be breathtaking! 😉
When I’m overwhelmed with work and stuff, I look forawrd to meeting my best friend at a pub so we can have drinks and just talk :).
Have a colorful week and best luck accomplishing all your goals!
Miki.
Love the outfit and love the blog! I’m a new reader and so happy I found your site 🙂
Let’s see…when I’m super busy all I really want to do is relax on the couch with my fiance and watch silly t.v. shows or a movie I haven’t seen…oh, and eat ice cream too 🙂
i love everything about this outfit! and when i’m busy (like right now), i look forward to an afternoon/evening at home of sewing and movie watching. bliss…
LOVE LOVE LOVE the entire piece.
Beautiful lipstick, what brand/color is it? Also, I love a girl who can rock the lenses! Way to represent, sister!!!
You are stunningly gorgeous!
Beautiful dress Elsie. I always look forward to watching movies, listen to music, and shopping when I’m busy!

You look SO pretty. I love your style! xo
he he – I feel ya!! this summer has been crazy, no? I always look forward to some thrift shopping, painting my nails, and sleeping in when I’m busy. A new book always helps, too! 🙂
Yay, new e-course! Any hints? When I am crazy busy I like to get chores done – managing my own personal chaos makes me feel a little more in control. I also like getting a good latte with my hubby.
sleep! i look forward to sleep. it is my best friend. also, spending some sweet quality time with my four year old.
i can’t wait to see everything you are working on! i look forward to just taking it easy and spending quality time with the ones i love!

ps: so pumped on the blog-makover and the new dress line!
Such a cute, cute dress!
I look forward to the super wonderful (and cheap!) massages next to my dad’s house. It’s a father-daughter, de-stressing, bonding time.
P.S. I LOOOVE your lipstick!
that first picture is fierce! you look like you’re ready to rumble but in a good way :)i hope you have a great relaxed, “you time” weekend. i don’t think i’m ever as busy as you but when i feel super busy i look forward to sleeping in and cuddling with my kitties.
You have been busy! I hope you have a little bit of time for relaxing in between all those exciting projects
When I’m busy I look forward to: drinking lots of tea, lazing around the house, reading a big pile of magazines, and having time to catch up on blog feeds 🙂
I love your look and I am SO looking forward to your new dress collection! (Please add some A-liners for curvy/hippy people like me.)
I look forward to catching up on blogs and youtube videos from those I subscribe to. I never knew summers could be THIS busy. 🙂
I love this outfit! It’s so so pretty!
i look forward to vacation! we’re going on a road trip to the east coast next month & it’s all i can think about! it’ll be an awesome reward for all the work i’m putting in right now!!
Hope you find some time to slow town and enjoy! Usually when I’m busy I go try a dessert I’ve been wanting to learn to make!
BEAUTIFUL!
Tea, Doctor Who, and a little knitting. Maybe some writing if I’m feeling super inspired. Love your outfit. Absolutely darling. 😀
This dress is so beautiful! Love it!
When I’m super busy I look forward to watch a great film and eat a lot of sweets!
Kisses from Hong Kong,
Nicole
So cute!!! You have an amazing sense of style. I love polka dots <3 Wish I could wear red 🙁 but being red-headed, it doesn't work out so well...
That dress Is really cute, I’d wear that all the time!
I have a day of now, after a very busy time. I’m looking forward to being around the house, cleaning and making it cozy (actually not so much the doing, but mostly the result of it). After that I’m looking forward to draw, sew and knit.
I hope my plans will work out. Sometimes they don’t b/c I’m too tired after a week at my day job. Tomorrow’s another day though!
Have a great weekend!
Cuuuute dress! Oh! And when I’m busy I look forward to snuggling on the couch with my Lovey and watching whatever we ordered on Netflix…Ahh! That’s the life!
OH! If you’d be so kind to check out this sequined hair tutorial and tell me what you think…Maybe you’ll like it…Maybe you won’t…

I noticed it, you’re so busy all the time, but doing funny stuff =) When I’m busy, like I’ve been in the past months without a break, I look forward to see my boyfriend, we see eachother once a week and for me it’s never enough.
This is such an adorable dress Elsie!

I love having a bath 🙂 Problem is that we don’t have one yet! There’s one on our renovation plans though.
I just started following your blog and love it, you’re a stunner and I love your style, can’t wait to see what little make overs you’ve come up with! x
oh man I’m the same, such a busy last couple of weeks but in that good I’ve finally got my self together and done loads of stuff for my shop kinda way which feels great. This weekend I’m taking it down a notch by making mac and cheese, reading my book, and generally not doing very much at all. Maybe drinking a bottle of wine with my best friend?
Hope yours is relaxing!

I cannot wait for the weekend to start. The idea of sleeping in just makes me happy all over. I could use some shoe shopping too. Have fun!!
Lovely dress and you look so cute in those glasses!

Your outfit is amazing, but the whole picture of beauty of you is the outstanding feature here! You deserve some downtime – how about a nice quite dinner with the mister and listening to some soft music afterwards, maybe a little dancing. You work way too hard! But, we all appreciate you so much – u rock!
the dress is oh-so gorgeous. it’s also very flattering on you. sighh, you own the cutest dresses 😛
Hell yeah! I love your blog. Sweet and normal. and the word ‘mess’ appeals to me 🙂
I am following you from now on!
Happy weekend – I will be getting ready or my vintage style european tour!

Just so pretty and I love the glasses & fringe (bangs!) combination!
love love that dress and the glasses! Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend. When I’m stressed I like to do a little craft for fun.
i look forward to hours and hours of uninterrupted, air-conditioned sewing. 🙂 and some wine too!

I love that dress on you. It is the perfect length.
I absolutely love those shoes! I’ve found that I need to do a preemptive strike against stress days. I know the next month is going to get crazy, so tonight the boyfriend is sent out with his buddies, and I get the house alone for some bad tv and junk food. That way when I’m stressed out, I can remember that I’ve already had some down-time.
Oh my God you are SO adorable Elsie! I love everything about your style!
When I get really busy, I always look forward to sitting down on the couch with a big glass of icy cold water and a pretty magazine. I love the refreshing power of lovely images.
cute dress!!

I usually like an evening of reading or baking all by myself with my thoughts or This American Life in my headphones. Have a great weekend!

so so so cute.
i LOVE m waking up with my love, making breakfast together and taking the dogs out to the park or the beach! I love Sunday brunch with my family!
So excited for the new dress line!
Love Lizzy
That dress is adorable! And when I’m super busy, I definitely look forward to snuggle time on the couch in front of ridiculous television shows. Lame, perhaps, but I am okay with that.
hellooo els! i just wanted to stop in and comment since it’s been quite a while and i miss you! i had this insanely awesome dream the other night that emma & her boyfriend got married and the entire blog world was there and it was the prettiest wedding ever. oh and i met the love of my life there. oh and emma’s fiancee was jeremy’s brother. oh and i’m pretty sure there was a bounce house. it was really sad to wake up.
hope all is well, congratulations, you’ve never looked happier! 😀
Absolutely stunning, as ever.
I look forward to thrifting, coffee and fashion magazines 🙂
Being busy suits you well! You look like a very happy lady!
Wow, it was a hectic week for you. Enjoy the weekend & rest a lot! My relaxed weekends consist of: sleep, eat, sleep, meet friends,sleep…and I forgot, sleep hahaha
Sooooooo cute! Polka dots are simply the best! Love it!!

Your dress is super cute!
I look forward to doing whatever I want!
The clock is NOT my boss and I love that most of all! Enjoy your downtime!!!
Always,
Diane
You look so pretty! And I’m in love with your shoes. I can’t wait to see all the new things that are going to pop up this season 🙂
Every dress you’ve worn lately it seems is c/o. This is extremely disappointed, I began following because I loved how you put your thrifted/vintage clothes together. Not sure how much longer I will follow if you continue being a walking billboard. Maybe try to be yourself again?
riding my bike is always my escape. i’m crushing hardcore on this dress, super adorable. xoxo.
v cute in a geek chic kind of way.

marriage looks GOOD on you, girl! so pretty 🙂
and when i’m super busy during school, i look forward to date days with my boo where we drive around and make up the day as it comes along. no plans, no limits, just us and the truck. so relaxing and refueling.
Dress is beautiful.
I love this! Looks great and still very wearable!
