Lots of things going on at Chez Lemondrop, new dresses I am trying to add to the shop (which has been slow to be updated lately, alas)…
Yesterday was a relaxing day in the backyard with the dogs, so it was a great day to wear my new Christy Robinson necklace. It’s not just cute, it has a message I believe in. All of the furry Lemondrops are rescue animals, so my necklace announces how important rescue is to me. Christy agreed to offer one Lemondrop Vintage reader a necklace, so head over to the giveaway if this message strikes a cord with you, and to see all of her other lovelies!
To enter, tell us what environmental or animal welfare idea you’d like to wear!

Before I became a reader of style blogs (I said style, not fashion) I would never have worn two busy prints at once, or shoes that might look at home on Rue Paul’s Drag Race. But seeing other people take chances on something fun for the sake of fun makes me a bit braver. So… cue the silk 1980’s dress with a fun pleated skirt and my 1960’s purse with yet another print. At least my background is somewhat color coordinated. I wouldn’t have wanted to make this any busier for ya. Hope your day is patterned in a fun way and not a quiet one.
When did you start creating your unique clay creations and other lovelies?
I have always enjoyed crafting, but didn’t get into polymer clay until I was about 12 or 13. I first started making a bunch of dollhouse-type food, then decided to get into more jewelry. Now I offer a wide variety of items made from both polymer clay and resin cabochon flowers.

The ultimate uniform during disco years, jumpsuits popped up everywhere in the 1970s, from dance floors to TV (they were a regular guest star on the sassy show Charlie’s Angels).
After falling out of fashion favor sometime in the 80s, the jumpsuit recently came back with a bang, and has been seen on catwalks and red carpets everywhere over the past 12 months.
But why do we love them so much? Well, first and foremost, a jumpsuit is the ultimate bridge between looking dressed up and feeling dressed down.
Seriously, put a jumpsuit on and you’ll get noticed, which feels pretty good in itself, yet you also feel so comfortable and relaxed that you may find yourself looking down to make sure you haven’t left the house wearing your PJs.
A jumpsuit also requires a lot less thought when getting ready in the mornings. Where we usually have to make sure the top half goes with the bottom half, a jumpsuit is the top half and bottom half, so you can get up in the morning and *ahem* jump into it without having to play mix and match for an hour.
This of course affords us a lot more time to spend on what we’re going to accessorize it with – handbag, jewellery – not to mention precious extra minutes to spend on our hair.
Jumpsuits are available all over the net, as every major fashion store now stocks a wide range. There are creations from all the top fashion brands, including Superdry, Oasis, DKNY, Vicky Martin and Drama Queen, so it’s easy to find the jumpiest of jumpsuits (by that I mean the ones that seem to throw themselves off the page in your direction, urging you to buy them!) Will you be jumpsuiting this season?
