Baby Z's Style: Ready For Rain...

 The forecast is calling for some pre-spring showers in our neck of the woods. No better time than this to pull out the new wellies in a super fun springy color. Baby Z loves her Hunter wellies but sure doesn't love looking at the camera anymore. If I am lucky enough to catch a fleeting glimpse of her face their will surely be no smile in sight. We will just call it photography art. Hair in face, hand by ear, wandering gaze "photography art". =)

White Knit Military Jacket is from Pumpkin Patch last year.

Nautical striped T-Shirt is from H&M;currently in stores.

Red Leggings are from Childrens Place.

I purchased Baby Z's Hunter boots directly from Hunter so I could choose from a more wide selection of colors.

Trendy Tot Tuesday: Park Time!

I can't believe its already Tuesday again! The good thing is that means its time for Trendy Tot Tuesday again though! Im having a lot of fun seeing everyones blogs and am so glad I found out about this via Table For Three.

This past week the sun started bringing some warmth with it and it was amazing! We didn't have to bundle up too much for our daily park visits. I know anyone who is reading this and lives in a truly cold area is probably laughing at me since where I live in California it doesn't really get too cold. 

Baby Z's top and knickers are from Janie & Jack. They were purchased on sale as with EVERYTHING I purchase from Janie & Jack. Never pay full price as all their items go on sale. 

Ribbed knit tights are from Baby Gap. I love the color of them. I am always on the lookout for unique colored baby tights that are under $20!

Nude flats are from Baby Gap and I am adoring them! They are a fairly recent purchase and so worth it as I have a hard time finding simple shoes that are easy to pair with any outfit. These answer that problem! They are easily the best pair of shoes I have purchased for her.

Another blue sky, sunny day with Baby Z "guarding" her playground.

Top and pants are from H&M.

Shoes are from Baby Gap. These shoes will be making many appearances on this blog!

Hope you are all having a lovely day no matter where you are!

XoXo, Lily & Baby Z

HopScotch...

Remember the days before computer games, Xbox games, Playstation games etc?? Kids were excited to buy Jacks, Sidewalk Chalk, Jumping ropes and the such? I want baby Z to be excited about those things. Sometimes simple is simply just better.

Turquoise scarf by H&M (last season).
Beautiful scenery by Stinson Beach, California.

The Duck Pond...

 Took Baby Z to the local duck pond/park today. Perfect way to spend a sunny February 1st.

 When it comes to photographing a 20 month old, its best to just let them do their thing. If they wander around, capture it. If they sit on a bench, if they run like crazy or even if they eat the bread you were supposed to be feeding the ducks...just capture it. Capturing the natural moments are some of my favorite photos to take.
Baby Z's top, pants and vest are all from H&M. Shoes are from Baby Gap.

No duck pond post would be complete with a picture dedicated solely to our web footed and bread hungry friends.

XoXo!

Sprinkling of Spring Photos...

So, the title of this blog post is a bit deceptive. This really isn't a sprinkling of spring photos but a sprinkling of wishing it was spring, photos. One can pretend though right?

Its not that Baby Z or I really mind the winter. We actually enjoy the crisp air and the mysteriousness of what weather each winter day has in store for us. Don't forget that with winter comes hot cocoa, sledding in snow or dancing with cold raindrops if you dare.

However, one can still wait in earnest for the breezy sunny days that spring brings. 

Cardigan, Blouse & Jeans all by H&M.

Rainboots (their is that waiting for spring detail) were purchased from Costco.

The Simple Things...

In 2013 I want to take some time out of each day to notice and appreciate the little things in life...such as discovering the unique beauty of leaves. Our little ones do it. =)

Turquoise scarf was purchased from Zara last year. It is no longer available but they are having their amazing semi annual sale and have similar ones such as this one.

Light grey blazer was purchased a few months back from H&M. Unfortunately you cannot shop off of H&M online if you live here in the states. 

Leggings are Circo brand found at Target. And they are on major clearance right now.

Grey sueded fringe booties are from Zara and currently on sale.
