My Recipe For Fun
Ingredients:
1. Red hat
2. Crazy blue oversized sunglasses
3. Gum ball machine
4. Wild colourful dress
Method:
Abandon all insecurities and act like you’re all that and a bags of chips.
(Old Dutch Salt & Vinegar ripple chips, my all time favourite.)
Laugh it up and put on a show for your screaming fans slightly annoyed pug.
You may ask, “Why a gum ball machine Suzanne?”
In which case I may reply, “Why not a gum ball machine?”
Not to point out the obvious but duh…the colour goes well with my hat.
This is my newest accessory.
You just wait. Pretty soon you’ll see all the famous people and style bloggers carrying around their own gum ball machines pretending like it was their idea.
Let me tell you, it is exhausting always being ahead of the crowd.
When the newly crowned Kendall Jenner ‘Fashion Icon of the Decade’ ( I kid you not) starts casually taking Instagram selfies in front of her vintage gum ball machine you will know that B**** stole my look.
Just sayin’.
Want to hear a family secret? My gum ball machine isn’t filled with gum at all…those are Reese’s Pieces Peanuts which my nieces recently informed me are apparently quite stale. I borrowed this machine from my husband’s office. Since he moved to Hong Kong he isn’t home enough to eat all the candy in his office before it goes stale.
Personally I’m not a huge candy lover. Just give me straight up 70% dark chocolate or nothing.
Diva’s are like that. They know what they want and when they want it.
Well that is what the biggest diva in our house told me.
Fun For Sale
This dress happens to be another high quality David Meister and is currently for sale in my Etsy shop.
I figure I can’t keep all the fun for myself. I need to spread it around.
Till next time lovelies!
What is your recipe for fun?
Linking up with the lovely Patti over at Visible Monday and the wonderful Judith for Hat Attack.
“Abandon all insecurities” – Best fashion and life advice ever. And that sweet dress and hat are faboo on you. I LOL’d re: the slightly annoyed pug. My cats line up one by one to exit the bedroom when I start singing. These four-leggers just don’t appreciate great fashion and great music. xox

Ha ha! Our furry babies don’t have much taste ; P
So freakin’ adorable obvi <3
I assume you’re talking about the diva pug. ; P
I’m buyin’ what you’re selling! You go, girl!
Love this post. Your entire attitude is so wonderful. And a doggy, too!
Well. I am certainly a huge fan! This dress looks amazing, especially with the hat. Give that other little Diva a hug from me too. Have a great week Suzanne xx

My idea of a good time on a holiday Monday – sitting at my computer in my underwear catching up on blog posts, eating oatmeal with fresh strawberries. Do I know how to have a good time? You Betcha!
I think a gumball machine is an excellent accessory. You’ll have to design a chic carry case for it. I am soooo SICK of hearing about the Jenners and the Kardashians. Fashion icon of the decade??? Give me a break. I would vote for Zoe over her. I love the phrase “All that and a bag of chips”.
I bow down to your Queendom for the very best ways to spend a holiday : P
Zoë does know how to rock her furry pants. Unlike the majority of the Kardashians that forget to put on pants most days.
“All that and a BAG OF CHIPS”?!!! Best phrase ever. Hahaha. You are smashing. Nobody can resist your charms here, or Zoe’s. You embody fun in this outfit with the essential gumball machine.
The machine would be empty if it were in my house. Or the flap opening would be padlocked shut. Or it would be wired to give me a tiny electric shock every time I touch it. Hahaha.
Did I mention the machine requires money? That might slow you down a bit. Either that or you’d be scouring your house for spare change.
Ha ha what a fun story! I’ll bet they gonna design gum ball machine bags now! Wait for that! And fashion icon of the decade? I think we look at the Jenner s a bit different here in the Netherlands.
Honestly I couldn’t believe it. At least pick someone that has some actual “history”. Not a child.
Loved the gumball and I love candies, so I would have them, but peanuts are great, too 🙂 I have one small gumball, yours is much more fun! I loved the post and the dress, shoes and hat – so beautiful, all! You always look sunning and I love the messages – just to be ourselves! And the biggest diva Zoe is sooo cute! Hope you are fine and that you have a great week, dear Suzanne! Hugs and bisous!

Abandon all insecurities is brilliant advice. Step away from all that negativity and the “what will people think?” mentally and sod the lot of ’em!
That dress is fabulous on you and the blue sunnies rock.
I want a gumball machine and a Zoe in my house.
Salt and Vinegar crisps are my favourite, too! xxx
That’s a fabulous dress and you look wonderful in it! I love the recipe for fun and I just need to track down a gumball machine somewhere – I’ve always wanted one of those….
Fashion icon of the decade? I was hoping you were joking.
Love everything about this, the colorful print dress, yellow pumps, red hat and those fab blue sunnies. Even the Reese’s Peanuts and the flowers on your wall match your outfit. Now that’s a pulled together look!
I’m sure we’ll be seeing gumball machine copycats any day now.
Best advice ever: ‘abandon all insecurities’ and best accessorizing ever: ‘add a gumball machine’. Mwhaha, you’re brilliant!
You look gorgeous in your dress and I love your hat, love your smile and love that diva attitude!, fun factor is underrated in fashion!
besos
Wow, that dress is such a corker! It just screams fun! And I do have a very similar – and empty – gumball machine. What a lovely post! xxx
Suzanne,
I love love love this dress! The hat is perfect and the styling vibe- well you are on top of your game. The gum ball machine, what a fun touch of colorful whimsy! Yes, it may just become the fall seasons’ s equilvalent of the floating flamingo raft!
Xo, Elle

Super fun photos and outfit! The bright colours and pattern of that dress is just lovely 🙂
The shape of your hat is wonderful. The gumball machine and the flowers and butterfly background are just the right accessories! (I’ll definitely watch for the gumball machine trend)! Thanks for sharing your fun style with Hat Attack!
