Friday, March 26

Liberty of London (for Target), Baby Gap and vintagey hat from the local street market has been combined today to create a boho chic spring look. Leaving the house, I was pretty dang proud of myself. Until Riley was trying on her new shoes (Lelli Kelly's and SKR's) and the child next to Riley asked her mother if Riley was Amish.


.......Awesome. Nothing against Amish people, but long dresses, buns and bonnets are just not my thing. Needless to say, I was a little annoyed that this tween girl didn't understand my vision for this outfit. Minutes later, I realized she was a kid and while attempting to devalue her opinion in my head, I took the hat off of Riley and left the public eye. I usually ignore any comments about wardrobe as I live in Iowa and don't take much offense to what anyone says here anyway (No offense, for those who live near me and ARE fashion savvy, I still love you ;)).....but I don't want to have Riley get weird looks from other children. So enjoy my failed attempt, you will not see this hat again my friends.

Thursday, March 25 OOD & Contest News!

First of all, thank you to Riley's fabulous nanny who aids me in the capturing of pictures for this blog on Tuesdays and Thursdays. :)

Today she wore the Naartjie layered asymmetrical dress with an Old Navy tutu underneath for added layers. I think it's a fun little combo, and it incorporated the tutu in a new way- which has become a challenge since it seems to be all Riley wants to wear lately. The matching bows were made by the lovely Sara last year for another Naartjie set, and imagine that...they still work perfectly for this years Naartjie!

Contest news! Joanna is the only contender so far-- the contest will end WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31ST! Look back at the previous entry for all the specifics and keep posting! :)

CONTEST REVEAL!

Outfit of the day, yesterday Monday the 12th:

This set was pieced together by a few different brands and designers. The LBD (little black dress) is from Eden's Bouquet, a small time designer with the ability to create heirloom clothing out of brand new materials. Though this dress is a little thinner than I had hoped, the design and sentiment of the ensemble gets an A+. Paired with a petticoat dress underneath from Von Maur ($18) and Target leggings ($5.99) and shoes ($12.99) this set is sure to bring back the memories of being a child in the 1920's, or at least imagining what that would have been like.

Now for the good stuff ;)

Wednesday, June 3rd

First of all....CONGRATULATIONS to AquaSocks--the winner of my first successful blog contest! I'm sending a pair of Baby Gap Batik Chic ballet flats her way! Thanks to all who participated! :)

Riley picked out her own outfit today, for the most part anyway. I have said before that it is a successful outfit day if the tutu stays in the closet, well by that standard today was unsuccesful as she wanted it immediately. Her diaper showed because of how short the tutu is, so I cut some Gymboree tights and made them footless. Since she was in a tempremental mood, I saw the Little Monster Baby Gap tank fitting for today. She is wearing a plain white toddler bow from Pink Hippo as well.

Tuesday, June 2nd

FINALLY ALL CAUGHT UP! WOOHOO!

Today Riley wore a favorite from Janie & Jack's Island Summer line. The shrug seems to run a little big, thankfully--maybe one outfit will last us all summer!

Can you tell her piggies are growing? The minute we step outside the humidity curls them up and shrinks them but I am happy to report her hair is coming in!

Free Gap Batik Chic size 7 flats to whomever can identify Mommy's purse in the background (the brand) ;) Seriously! It's a contest! WOOHOO!

An outfit and a Contest

Today's outfit is a little mix of everything good. Bowband made by me, t-shirt from Target, dress is the Matilda Jane Lil Apple knot, tights are Mini Boden and the boots are the good old beat up Target boots we love so much. I have a "bad habit" of mixing MJ with anything. And everything. I love Matilda Jane you could say. Which is something you wouldn't have heard me say a year ago--but alas, I am now a fan. Or obsessee. I just think it fits Riley's personality so well.

Anyway, on to the important junk. Now that I have my ten requirement--it's time for the contest! I tried to think of something really cool, but I think you'll have to stick it out with me to get to that point--they will get cooler in the future, I promise. ;) But at this time I'm offering up my Gap Give & Get online one time use coupon code to the third comment poster. :) If everyone has one, I'll send out a Gymbo code/in store coupon. Good luck and thanks for subscribing! :)

Do you like free stuff?

I know I do! And as a bribe to read my blog and comment, I will start some fun giveaways when I have 10 subscribers.

I know, I'm begging for attention and affection, I call myself out on it.

Some new changes to the blog will be:
*Giveaways when the numbers are right ;)
*Product reviews, feel free to email me if you'd like me to review your toddler/baby/girly product. :)
*Better photography. I solemnly swear to only use my Nikon to provide the daily pictures.

No pic today since it's a Sunday and she was at the grandparents, but you can look forward to what Daddy comes up with for her to wear tomorrow! :) Thanks for reading!
