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.

My New Fascination: H & M Kids

I don't know what it was that kept me away from checking out this store recently.  Before they got a kids section I was a little hesitant of their women's clothing because sometimes to me, cheap prices = cheap clothes.  I have to say though I have been presently surprised.  I have still steered away from the women's clothing because I feel the clothes are a little too snug fitting...but this does inspire me to get more toned.  The kid's clothes....too die for.  You can't beat the prices and some of the designs are so original.  So although N hasn't outgrown his summer clothes from last year, L could use a few outfits that aren't hand me downs.  So, out shopping I went.  Here are some of the finds on my trip.

 This top reminds me of a top I saw at Mini Boden for 24.99.  This one here, 6.95!

Spring In the Air

Where did the winter go?  I remember late October coming and thinking I sure don't want winter.  We had the most amazing summer and the thought of snow, and staying indoors just wasn't sitting well with me.  To be honest, I can't tell you where the winter went...and I am sure happy about that.  I walked outside today, our daffodils are blooming, it was moist and beautiful out...and it is time for spring!  My favorite part about spring is the new flowers blooming, the crisp smell of the air, getting outside more, and of course getting ready to clothes shop for the boys!  I am so excited.  Stay tuned int he next few weeks for any sales that I can track down.  I don't like to buy anything for the boys that is not on sale.  There are always such great sales, why not wait for the perfect chance??  Here are some of the cutest things that i plan on picking up for the boys:
Children's Place: They are having a 25 percent off sale now...These shorts you can snatch up for about 9 dollars.

Visions of Stripes in My Head

I have always had a keen liking for stripes, but this year has seen a leap in the stripe trend.  It seems like it started this past spring and summer with clothing and has now moved onto home decor.  A mixture of pure sailor stripes, to bold stripes, and even to zig zag stripes (chevron).  Well, needless to say, I am quite obsessed.  If you know me, you have probably seen me with one of my many striped shirts.  I just love it.  Two of my favorite stores, Jcrew and Gap have their fair share of gap pieces...even for the little ones.  Here are some of my favorite stripe pieces.  You can never have enough!

 West Elm has some great pieces worth looking into.  I could literally spend all of our money at that store!

Here's a mood board that I put together that was inspired by the striped rug.
