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.

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!

Snapped this without looking at the camera settings! I was in a hurry to get her off to the grandparents for a weekend free from two year old monster-ness! She is wearing a knit dress from Daisy Days or something from Gymboree with the matching flower clip. Tried something new with her hair today, what do you think?

Today we went out to Saylorville again, it seems to be a once a week activity in the summer now that we live so close, and Riley sported a pretty new knit dress from Baby Gap with a tank underneath because of how low it dips, no baby cleav here thanks. The flower clip is a beautiful creation by Jessica at Little Beauty Boutique on etsy, I feel like we wear something from there daily! Riley is such a water baby, if only I didn't have student loans--we could buy a boat and float down the river for weeks!

Ten days later and we're already repeating this favorite from Naartjie! I don't think Riley will fit into the pants for long, they're already becoming bermudas but I just love the frilly cuteness so much that I want to utilize them as much as possible before they retire to the bins.

And if anyone happens to spot these Naartjie ruffle pants in a size 2, 3 or 4--I'm your gal ;)

Despite the fact that it is slightly stained, I adore the Matilda Jane lacey tank Riley is wearing in this picture. When I opened up my MJ box many months ago, I was admittedly a little disappointed in it but the minute Riley wore it I thought it was perfect. Simple and comfy but at the same time frilly and girly. Definitely a keeper. Today I paired it with Gap chambray jeans, Target shoes and a LBB headband.

Riley's Birthday Party Ensemble

Her memorial day party was a success in this gorgeous Princess dress from Isobella & Chloe. It retailed for $190 and I picked it up for $48 a couple days before her party! For a steal like that, it knocked the other outfit option out of the park. The beautiful flower clip is from Little Beauty Boutique and I absolutely adore it. It completed the ensemble so perfectly, I HIGHLY reccomend LBB to anyone who is in the market for some gorgeous flowerbands or bows! She is wearing a bracelet from eyebead gemstone assembled by me, and a necklace with her R initial on it from an etsy shop. Overall, I adore this outfit and am searching for a dressy event to show this baby off again! I can't believe my princess is two!
