Summer Kid's Style

This is always one of my favorite kinds of posts, especially now that I know I am expecting a little girl in the next few weeks.  I always loved all the little boy's clothes, but I am obsessed with baby girl clothes!  There are just so many options to choose from.  You can go the cute and pretty little princess route, the sophisticate toddler route, or even dab into some shabby chic style so popular these days!

Here is a bunch of options I have scoured around to find for both the boys and girls as my inspiration.

I have been super into vintage style baby clothes and I fell in love when I saw this one from ZoesBoutique2013 on Etsy

or how about this sun hat by SewCuteQuilts

As always, I could always enjoy some cute Mini Boden attire:

Who could forget Gap.  The styles this summer are so bright and retro.  Loving all of them.

Can't forget the boys!

I always love the Crew Cuts Tees.  They are so creative.  This little Jedi one is adorable.

 Are stripes ever not in? This ones from Mini Boden

Here are some summer classics from Gap. Brights are great, even for the lads.

The Time Has Come

I know at one time I had a lot of faithful followers.  At one point after my second son was born, I couldn't keep up.  We all know the fatigue of the early months.  I tried hard to update the blog as much as possible and eventually life got in the way.  A few months have past since my last post and more sanity has come to my side!  My wonderful baby boy is approaching toddler hood and finally I feel like I am in control!  I couldn't be happier with my two little men and the craziness of it all.

In the last few months I have started up a wonderful online baby boutique!  I fell in love with the retail process, mainly because of my love for children's products and tiny babies of course!  My store is dedicated to handcrafted items created by other moms just like us looking for ways to explore their passions and share it with the world.  So, right now my time is dedicated to making the most of my store!  Luckily, I get to start another blog dedicated to the store.  But I wanted to share my new store with all of you and update you all on where I have been and where I am going.  I hope you will all stop by the new store and share the word!

Hottest Tot/Baby Summer Style

If you know me you know how much I love shopping for my children.  My love for clothing was put to the wayside for the love of my children.  Although I would never pass up a shopping spree on my own behalf, I much prefer shopping for my two sons.  Although I have already done my older son's summer clothes shopping I scoured the internet for the most stylish finds for your children this summer.

Everyone is having great sales right now so hurry on over and scoop up these great finds!  I would love to see pictures of your little men and little ladies in their finest summer attire once the time comes!  Without further ado...

I feel like everytime I post sales I post about children's gear.  Which is definitely because of the topics on my blog, but today I wanted to introduce you to some great sales going on for us moms!  Haute Look is having some major sales for the month of July with some insane savings!  This site is a must check out.  They have some great summer wear sales going on right now.  Here are a few to check out:

Scalloped Floppy hat 50% off

Everyone knows what a pain it is trying to keep shoes on your little girl or boy, especially when they are so tiny.  I remember getting a cute box of Trumpette Baby socks at my baby shower for my son.  They looked just like sneakers, but instead, they were well made socks that looked just as adorable as little baby shoes.

I've been in love ever since, and although my son has outgrown his, I found a great sale at Gilt where you can get some of the new designs for a steal.  They have the cutest little Minnie Mouse socks that look exactly like the shoes that Minnie wears for 13 bucks!  There is also "chick" baby socks that are placed in an egg container to give as a gift...would be too cute for Easter. 

If you are interested here's the link.

Wish List Wednesday

I'd love this dress...but I'd also like to be able to look better in it!  I have three weddings in the next six months and am hoping I can lose some weight!

Spring Finds

As promised, here are some spring picks for the mommies.

I was very suprised with some of the new looks that are out, or for that matter, the old looks.

My favorite place to shop, no matter the time of the year, as my husband knows all too well, is Banana Republic and the Gap. It could be because I opened a credit card there about 5 years ago...or just because I love the style.

I have to say, though, I couldn't find anything that I was all too impressed with at these stores.

So I scoured the web and found some nice finds. It looks like the utility look is huge this season, but I will leave you to that, you can pretty much look at any site and find some great green or khaki colored jackets and pants out there.

First off: If you have a wedding coming up, or any other special occasion and feel like being a little sexy I found this great dress from Kohls that was designed by Lauren Conrad, from The Hills. It is on sale for 29.99.

If you want to be a little more conservative, there is this dress from Nordstroms, BCBG for a little over 200.

This jacket from Nordstrom is by Michael Kors. It's great for late winter, early spring. Price tag is 128.

This is one thing that I did like from Gap, but it is rather expense at 44.50.

Nice Blouse from Ann Taylor Loft for 36.50, and a cute scoop neck from Banana Republic for 26.50

This is a great bargain find from Kohl's Vera Bradley Collection. It is 23.99 and great for the office, or a day out.

And please send me any other cute pieces you see around!
