Kids Spring Style

Spring has to be my favorite time for kids clothes, everything is always so cute and bright. A couple of days ago my cousin and I went into Old Navy and I fell in love with so many things. They are having a sale now, 40% off of kids clothes with the code flykids.  And there is free shipping for any orders over $50 for all of my online shopper friends out there.

Here are the things I had my eye on - some even came home with me ;)

Girls

Boys

Aren't these all so cute?  I know they girls' list is way longer than the boys, but girl clothes are my weakness and there are so many more options for girls (not fair).  I had to stop myself from spending way too much! 

Have a great Thursday!

Family Pictures 2016

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you all had a great weekend!  It was nice to have an extra day off with the kids - long weekends are always the best!

We got our pictures back last week, and I couldn't wait to share them with you all.  I love the way they came out!  This year we dressed a little different than past years, usually we would all wear jeans and nice shirts but this year, I decided to have us girls dress up a little fancy for the pictures.   We also chose an area in Ft. Lauderdale that is a bit urban and rustic as opposed to our usual park pictures.  The end result is LOVE!   It was FREEZING the day we took these and the wind was crazy strong. The kids were such troopers - they are such go with the flow kids, which made for a smooth photo session.  There were so many good ones, but instead of boring you, I'm going to share my absolute favorites.

 I love taking these yearly.  It's incredible how much the kids change in so little amount of time, they're always so much fun to look back on!


For any of you wondering here are the details of what we wore.  My shoes are discontinued but I found similar ones, same with my skirt.

Have a great day!!

Family Pictures | What to Wear

Time is flying by so fast and it occurred to me that our family pictures are coming up, FAST!  I started brainstorming on the feel that I wanted them to have, and I wanted them to be different than our normal pictures that are usually taken at a park.

This year I want an urban background.  We're going to Ft. Lauderdale to take some pictures with a city feel.  So, since I want a city feel I figured why not channel my inner Carrie Bradshaw and wear my pink tulle skirt?!  Here's the vision I have:

As far as clothes go, this is what I have in mind for us:


For me:

I'm not sure whether to go for a sequins shirt and tulle shirt or keep it simpler with a striped shirt and the shirt.  What do you think?  Is sequins and tulle together too much? The shoes will vary depending on which way I decide to go with the shirt.  As will the accessories.



 For E:

I ordered the dress for her yesterday on Nordstrom and I am obsessed with it.  I think she's going to look so cute in it and I like how her and I are matching, she's a big fan of matching with her mama!



For Hubby:

My husband's style is crazy simple.  He goes for comfort at all times and his idea of dressing up is a polo shirt and jeans or dress pants.  So, he'll be in a polo, jeans and his boots.  Easy... and predictable ;)


For J:

He'll be in this button down gray and white shirt that I ordered for him and jeans with casual shoes.


I wish boy clothes were more exciting, there's never anything that wows me!  But he's a handsome little guy so he'll look adorable, I'm sure.




What do you guys think of my vision for the pictures?

Kids Summer Fashion

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a great weekend - ours was very low key, which was great!

I realized that while I'm always talking about fashion for me, I've left out fashion for the kiddies! I like to dress my kids comfy and cute (kinda like how I like to dress I guess). It's way too hot down here 95% of the time for anything frilly or socks!

My go to stores for both kids is usually Carter's, Target and GAP. They have the best prices and the best selections! I get so many pretty dresses for E at Target and I'm stopped constantly and asked where I got them - seriously, their clothes are good quality and hold up WELL!

The same goes for my son, he wears A LOT of shorts and t-shirts, and I don't think the boy ever leaves the house without his Crocs on. Those are his go-to shoes, and I like them because he can easily put them on himself! #doublewin.

What are your go-to stores? Do you dress your kids similarly?

On another note, I'm getting a little tired of my blog design and looking for something pre-made on Etsy. Something that has social media icons, "pin it buttons" and basically the works, but for a decent price since obviously I get tired of my blog designs after about a year! Have any of you used any particular Etsy shops that you've liked?
