Monkey Face

April 30, 2014 by Leave a Comment

I’m so very glad that it decided to turn chilly around here again.  Not.  Will this winter ever end???  Okay so I just might be exaggerating slightly.  It’s not like it’s snowing outside or anything.  It’s not exactly freezing.  Okay it’s only in the 40’s right now here in St. Louis today.  But that’s cold, right?  It should NEVER be in the 40’s in April.  At least not in the Lou!  Good thing toADORN sent this monkey hat for Banjo.  He has been able to wear it.  In APRIL.

IMG_8966.pngIt’s super cute though, right?

Here’s to hoping he won’t be wearing it in May.  😉

Nohi Kids {Giveaway} – CLOSED

April 20, 2014 by Leave a Comment

When it comes to my kid’s clothing I’m kind of a fabric snob.  It has to be soft.  Scratchy?  Not happening.  It has to be functional and easy to take care of in terms of laundry.  Who really wants to take the kid’s clothes to the dry cleaners?  It has to be cute.  This means cute fabric that aren’t found everywhere.  That’s why I’m soooo very glad that I found Nohi Kids.  For starters… Their clothing is organic.  Translation:  Super soft.  Next… Their clothing is machine washable.  Excellent!  Lastly… The prints on the fabric???  Absolutely.  Adorable.

See.  Told you.  Absolutely.  Adorable.

I think the above images are my favorite part about the clothing from Nohi.

1.) That fabric is too precious.

And…

2.) There are so many different styles all in that same fabric!

So you will definitely find the perfect outfit at Nohi Kids.

What did Nohi Kids send me recently???  These two outfits for my two littlest littles:

Spring has FINALLY sprung!

April 9, 2014 by Leave a Comment

I don’t know about where you are, but here in St. Louis the sun is shining.  The flowers are blooming.  The grass is turning a brilliant shade of green.  Yep.  It simply glorious outside.  The spring has finally sprung around here!  I knew this day was coming eventually, but I also knew that the weather wouldn’t just suddenly change over night.  Especially not after what we dealt with for what seemed like eternity.  We had the LONGEST winter ever here!  I’m sure this sentiment resonates with the rest of the country; except of course for places like Florida and California.  Most of the country is highly envious of those types of places.  I’m talking the raging, green-eyed monster.  For St. Louis at least there have been signs of the coming days of honeysuckle and lilacs for quite some time now.  Albeit very slowly, but it has been warming up and the forecast hasn’t been predicting any of those crazy snow storms.  In fact the recent thunderstorms and even tornadoes (scary as those are) in the St. Louis area led me to believe that spring really was on its way.  Yes, I believe it’s FINALLY here!

With the spring weather also comes the need for some spring fashion.  That very need actually sent me to the mall last week, but I returned home with much disappointment.  I only made one measly little purchase.  A somewhat (long sleeved; mind you) spring blouse that definitely won’t carry me into summer.  All of the stores must not have been catching on to the hints of spring, because they only had winter clothing in stock.  Heavy sweaters galore, but nothing for spring.  It’s possibly that they are now stocked for spring this week, but I was at the mall LAST week.  I don’t have time THIS week to go back.

In my desperation to have something that I could fit in (remember I just had a baby 9 weeks ago) for this warmer weather I turned to my old standby.  Online shopping.  I will admit that typically I’m a little hesitant with clothes shopping online.  It’s difficult to often know the sizing or how the item will fit.  Generally I’ll only shop online at stores that I’m familiar with already.  Or ones that my friends have recommended.  So it took A LOT of bravery on my part to place an order on a deal site.  But after this purchase:

photo-90I will be purchasing a lot more off of that deal site!

I’m absolutely in love with this top.  I found it on the Jane deal site for only $19.99!  Isn’t that a steal of a deal?  I’m talking waaaaayyyy dandy.  It has these faux buttons up the back.  Seriously going to be my favorite all spring and summer long!

Jane features boutique clothing items for up to 80% off.  Each deal only lasts a matter of days or until they sell out.  So some of the more popular deals are only be around for a few hours!  Like these two deals:

GONE.  Totally gone.  I shouldn’t have waited so long to make my decision.

Good thing they still have plenty of these cute maxi skirts!

Mikarose {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

June 25, 2012 by 15 Comments

I dress up every Sunday.  Sometimes I dress up other days out of the week, but for sure on Sunday.  It’s the day I attend church.  Growing up my mom taught us that we were to wear our Sunday best to church and well, it just sort of stuck with me.  So I always wear either a skirt or a dress on Sunday.  Knowing this about me then I’m sure it’s not surprising that I own lots of dresses and skirts.  I’m not going to show you a picture of my closet, because it is just a tad bit embarrassing.  I might be a collector of clothing…  I just love clothes and buying them, okay?  😉   So you won’t get to see my closet today, but I will give you a glimpse of my newest dress that’s hanging in there:

Compliments of Mikarose!

Isn’t the extra detail gorgeous???

What else do I really need in my closet from Mikarose?

Well, for starters I love the look of this dress:

 

And this one:

 

And this one:

With this belt of course:

 

Okay so I basically love everything that is Mikarose!

Shabby Apple {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

April 17, 2012 by 22 Comments

I got an early Mother’s Day present the other day.  It wasn’t from my husband or from my children.  Shabby Apple sent it to me and I’m ever so grateful, because… I simply adore everything Shabby Apple!  Ready to see it?  My favorite clothing company sent me this dress:

Isn’t it gorgeous?

You can count on the fact that I will be wearing it to church on Mother’s Day.

I love the fit.  I love the color.  I love everything about the Coco Bean dress.

What I love most is the versatility of the dress, because I can wear it all summer long and it will carry on quite nicely into the fall/winter.

There are so many things that I need from Shabby Apple, so I’m thinking that my husband and children should get me something Shabby for Mother’s Day.  Don’t you think?  Maybe a Shabby Apple Gift Card???  Yes!  I think that I definitely need one of those.  Audiologist Man I sure hope you are reading this, so you can order me one of those.  🙂

What would I buy with a gift card?

Well, for starters the look of chevron is totally in, so I’m digging this skirt:

Then I would need to order something to have on hand for this fall in a gorgeous mustard color, because I love that color so:

And of course since there are the most adorable little girls dresses then I would have to order this for Ruby:

What do you think of all my picks?  In addition to the gift card I have decided that I will allow Audiologist Man to pick me out a piece of jewelry from Shabby Apple all on his own.  I’ll let you know if he comes through on the present.  Stay tuned.   🙂

Now for the super fun part of featuring Shabby Apple on Dandy Giveaway…

One very lucky winner is going to receive their very own Coco Bean dress!  This is one very dandy giveaway!

The Boy’s Store {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

February 20, 2012 by 71 Comments

Banjo will be 4 in April!  Now that he’s gotten to be such a big boy (no longer even close to infancy) I’m starting to feel a little bit proud of my accomplishment.  Just a tad.  He’s turned out rather well if I do say so myself.  Now I cannot take full credit for this of course.  The audiologist man did take part in the raising and teaching process.  Plus, it’s highly possible that Banjo got his mellowness from his father.  Okay he did.  For the most part Banjo is generally well behaved and Regardless of how he earned his good behavior I think that I at least know much of what it’s like raising a boy.  Well, up to this point that is!  Any words of advice or encouragement for the next 14+ years would be greatly appreciated.  🙂

Having an almost 4 year old boy means that I also know a lot about boy fashion!  But isn’t it just too difficult to find the most trendy, most affordable, most stylish, most designer boy clothing all in one stop?  You mothers and grandmothers of the boys know exactly what I’m talking about!  Where must one turn?  Well, the answer to this age old question lies within the internet pages of The Boy’s Store.  There you will find everything boy!  For starters…

If you are a fan of the Beatles then this is a definite for your little guy:

 

Then…  How easy would it be for diaper changing your littlest man in this:

 

Gowns is all that Banjo slept in at night!  Major time saver!  And the one above is totally manly!

 

Designer duds?  The Boy’s Store has got ’em!  From Mulberribush:

To…

Knuckleheads
