Spring Simplicity...

Quick, simple and spring ready...this look was a winner for Little Z but not so much potty training mommy. Rompers are too dang adorable but too dang hard at this stage.
Romper by H&M
Floral Headpiece by H&M
Gold Sparkle Jelly Flats by Old Navy.

Simple, affordable and perfect for spring.

Girl Wearing Blue...

When Baby Z was born errr before she was even born my hand automatically grabbed every pink baby item in sight. Pink sleepers, socks, hats, onsies and yes even a pink bouncy chair. 

While I still enjoy a splash of pink here and there, I must say that I have shucked it to the side in favor of other colors. I love blue on little girls now. Any shade and all shades. Embrace the blue for your little girl...you just may never look at pink the same way again. 

Floral dress is from an Etsy Boutique called Baby Beenos. She makes such adorable items! 

White capri leggings are from H&M. For plain colored leggings you must purchase from H&M! Super cheap and great quality.

Blue Sandals (that I can't stop obsessing over) are from Zara Baby. I dont believe they are selling these ones anymore but trust me, your bound to find at least 5 more pairs of shoes that you will be drooling over.

Have a happy day!

OOTD: Floral on Floral

Todays OOTD consisted of a little floral on floral action. A small floral print on a loose light fabric always looks sweet on a little girl. Looks pretty good on us mommies too! hehe. Z's top is from H&M and her ponte knit pants are from Zara Baby. 

The floral flats with patent pink bows are from Happy Soda.

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 Linkup

For todays Trendy Tot Linkup I wanted to post a few of my favorite pictures from this past month. I love the above pic of Baby Z holding on to her pet bunny. Dress is from Baby Gap last season and hat is from Janie & Jack.

I love the shorts with tights look! Add in a scarf and its unbearably adorable! Scarf and shorts and H&M. Shirt and boots are Zara. Tights are Circo from Target. Gorgeous scenery is Stinson Beach.

This photo is from a valentines photo shoot I did with Baby Z. Red knit beret is from Zara. Dress is from Etsy boutique The Jaded Boutique. Red lace bottom leggings are from The Childrens Place and Black Patent Bow mary janes are from Janie & Jack.

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.

Tiny Fashion: Little Yellow Jacket

Splurge!!

This luxurious yellow wool coat is one I had been drooling over since Janie and Jack released it about a month ago as part of their Classic Garden collection. However, Baby Z's size sold out unusually quickly given its almost $80 price tag. Its currently on sale though so check it out if you adore it as much as I do!

Steal!!

This yellow trench by Carters was a lucky find! Its not the same fabric or cut as the Janie and Jack twill coat but its just as equally cute! It also comes with a much more friendly price tag of $40 but is currently on sale for $26. You can bet I picked up this sunny yellow number as soon as my eyes spotted it!

Crewcuts Cute Dresses...

I recently discovered Crewcuts...and the adorable ladylike dresses they make for the little girls in your life. It was a 'ah' moment for sure. I may just have to test out Crewcuts and order a few pieces to see what their quality is like. If they are anything like their mother J. Crew, I am sure I will not be disappointed.

All pieces discovered here.

P.S. Sorry for the recent onslaught of annoyingly small photos. Blogger has suddenly decided I cannot post large pictures. This issue is being worked on and I hope to have it solved very soon!

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.

Baby Z's Closet...Pearls & Popcorn

Dress by one of my favorite baby brands Pearls & Popcorn. 

Tights by Baby Gap and adorable baby boots by Mi & Ro scored off of Gilt.

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.

Insta Haul: Janie & Jack

I cannot resist a sale at Janie & Jack. This store is a weakness of mine. I took advantage of their recent Friends and Family sale this past weekend. Here is a sneak peak of some of the adorable items I picked up for Baby Z. 

1. A mint floral peplum blouse. This will look so sweet with a pair of leggings and in the cooler weather (if we ever get any here) I can easily throw a cardigan or jacket over it.

2. A thick brown corduroy knicker pant, that will be awesome with some cream colored tights underneath since they are cropped. You cant see in this pic but they have some embroidered rose detailing at the cuffs.

3. A sweet lavender sweater top. Its light weight but heavy with cuteness.

4. A white pair of tights with little black polka dots.

I might do a Janie & Jack haul sometime this week.

BEDA Day 5: Baby OOTD Sweet & Silver

I am a sucker for Toms on little ones chubby feet. Baby Z is sporting a sparkly silver pair we picked up the other day. We already own it in a smaller size in sparkly black and LOVE them so much! They fit her feet well, she can walk in them easily and most importantly they are just too dang cute. Every where we go people always stop us and ohhhh and awwwe over her Toms.

She is wearing a floral swing top from Janie and Jack scored on clearance and some light blue leggings from a United Colors of Benetton that we stopped at while in France earlier in the year.

Sweet gumballs, sparkly Toms and baby clothes on clearance. Ah the little things in life. =)

OOTD Baby Style : Picnic In the Park

Baby Z attended her first picnic last Sunday. It was a wonderfully sunny day with just the right amount of light breeze and cool shade thrown in. Baby Z decided to rock some baggy white capris which are currently at Target, a neon hot pink t-shirt also currently at target and some Robeez soft soled shoes. 

Exploring the grass was so much fun and made mommy realize how silly she was for dressing her in white pants of all things for a grassy picnic. Surprisingly enough no grass stains were found on her pants but that watermelon juice....thats another story.

I look forward to more sunny picnics and days out this coming spring and summer. Oh and Baby Z is proudly showcasing her teething necklace that we ordered off of Amazon a while back. Not sure if it actually works or not but it sure does look cute.

Happy spring days and picnics to you!

OOTD Baby Style: Dresses with Pants...

 Today was one of those days where I just couldn't keep my eyes open. Baby Z isn't the greatest of sleepers so some days when I have to get up to go to work I feel like I am getting up to go to war instead. In other random news, I thought I would do an OOTD (Outfit of the Day) baby style. Its getting harder to get Baby Z to hold still for pictures though!

Her smocked cotton long sleeve (with a bell sleeve) dress is from Old Navy. Its super sweet but their sizes run really small I have noticed. She is wearing a size 6-12 month here. Her super comfy ruffled ankle pants are from Carters. They really do have the best comfy play pants. Her socks are by Vitamin baby and are out of this world...I will tell you why in another post soon to come.

Hope you all had a very lovely Wednesday.

OOTD Baby Style: Little Puppies

While we may not own a real life puppy, Little Z was busy sporting them on her cute long sleeve onsie with matching skirt pants.

Aren't little baby legs and feet just so cute?

Sorry for the poor quality but I was stuck with using my Iphone today as my main source of picture taking. I love seeing how big she is getting day by day but it sure does go by fast. I cannot believe how chunky my little girl has already become.
Onsie, pants with attached skirt and headband all from Gymboree. Here is to little girls and puppy dogs!

OOTD Baby Style: Take a Bow

Today was laundry day which means little Z had to settle for casual comfy clothes. She was set upon holding her little Carters teddy bear as her accessory today. I should enjoy that while it lasts because one day i'm sure her accessory wish list will be much more pricey. No matter how casual comfy little Z is she will always take a bow though.

We will start from top to bottom today.

• Headband/bow is from Gymboree.
• Pink longs leeve ruffle neck onsie is from Childrens Place. Actually is from a 2 piece dress set.
• Floral pants are from Carters.
• Pink birdie socks are from Pumpkin Patch.

Here is to bows and accessories. 

OOTD Baby Style: Once Upon a Dress

So as some of you may already know I have an obsession with baby clothes. So do a lot of the family and friends in my life as well. The result of this is an overstocked closet for little baby Z. Result of this? Baby outfit of the day or OOTD: baby style. Plus maybe it will give others with little girls a few moments of cuteness that they can understand and appreciate.

• Dress with matching green onsie were a set a bought at a JBF consignment event. It is by Carters.
• Black leggings are from Target, they are Circo brand. These are surprisingly soft. 
• Socks ( that dont quite match the outfit ) are Trumpette. Bought at a JBF consignment.
• Hat with matching detachable bow are from Stroller Blanket Mom which is a baby boutique on Etsy.

This floral dress used to be long on her. To get more use out of your little ones summer dresses you can easily add leggings and a shirt underneath. Also if a dress starts getting too short, adding pants, tights or leggings underneath instantly turn it into a tunic.
