4th of July Duds

There are so many great options out there for what to wear for 4th of July. Me and my mini will be rocking out the Firecracker Lily Pulitzer dresses shown below (bonus...they glow in the dark, how cool!) Also, I can vouch for the knot sandals from West MArine, not only so classic preppy, but incredibly comfortable. I bought mine back in spring and have just about worn them out already ♥

Quick Boot Bedazzle

We are in the process of a deep spring clean around here, and the last THREE, yes 3, nights have been concentrated on Miss B's room. I swear my seven year old may have more clothes and shoes than I do....Anyways, she has no less than 6 pairs of boots, and these b;lack ones were looking a little worse for wear, but then I decided to try out something I'd seen on etsy to give them a little bit more life for the rest of this winter.

Seriously, I love these, I think I would rock them ;)

I decided since these were older boots, I would do a sparse scattered look, and if Baylor loved, then I'll go crazy like the inspiration ones above for next years boots.

What you need:

• Boots (these are just an inexpensive pair from Target)
• Bling (rhinestones with heat adhesive on back, Joann's or Michael's)
• Heat Stick (to adhere rhinestones with)

I just poured our all different color rhinestones in a tray

   

 And then randomly adhered them to the boots, the heat stick work really easily, it basically gets really hot, and you just press the tip of it to the rhinestone for about 10-15 seconds, and the heat melts the adhesive on the back of the stone. I always let cool for a few minutes, and then check to make sure I don't have any loose stones.

And presto, some boots with a bit ore pizazz! I forgot to get a pic of b wearing them the next day, but she said she got lots of compliments and people asking where she got them at....Oh, my awesome mom made them, lol :)

Tuesdays Three Things to Love

Joy Folie shoes....can you say A-MAZ-ING!!!!

love, love, love these, so unique, I want in my size!

Essie in "Sugar Daddy"

I just picked this up at Walgreen's about two weeks ago, and it is now a staple, such a perfect sheer for everyday wear

Waxing Poetic's Brass Ball Bracelet

I have the sterling silver, and love the little clasps they've made to add or remove as many charms as you'd like, it's like an edgier take on a pearl bracelet

Haute Look Goodies

Haute Look is one of my favorite discount sites as I've mentioned before. They've got such a great variety of stuff, and it's all priced so low...how's a girl to resist?? Here's some of the goodies I snagged this month for Little Miss Baylor, some I'm saving for Valentine's Day goodies...

Beetle Juice London Dresses....these are even cuter in person

Twist & Pout Lip Moisturizer

These come in such cute little keys chain clips, perfect for Baylor's back pack

Little Miss Twin Stars Jewelry - So sweet ♥

L'amour quilted Ballet Flats - so chic'

 

Christmas Goodies

Just a few snippets from Christmas, the kids made out like no other....big surprise there! The hubby did pretty good for me too :)

Leaving Milk and cookies for Santa, in their cute shirts from etsy

Santa came!! 

And just a few of my favorite ornaments I never got around to posting....

Love these little munchkins :)

Christmas at Disney

We surprised the kiddos with a little day trip to Disney, since we were in Kissimmee anyways for a cheer leading competition.Well, that little trip to Disney ended  up being a 14 hours jam-packed day. We all had a blast, didn't wait more than five minutes in any line, but were all exhausted as we jumped on the monorail at 10 pm. It was our first time making a visit during Christmas, and the lights were beautiful, plus we were there for the taping of the parade that will air on ABC on Christmas Day, so the kiddos will now be glued to the screen I'm sure, looking for themselves in the mass of people. Much to Baylor's dismay, we missed out on Justin Bieber, who was there to tape another segment, a mere 12 hours later the next day :( She'll live, lol.

Saw this idea for shirts on Etsy, so I jumped on photo.net and created a simlar design myself, they turned out so cute, just plain white t's and iron ons :)

The hubby flexing with Stitch :) 

The monorails were down when we first arrived, so we took the ferry boat for he first time ever, fun, but chilly!

All the pretty Christmas decor 

Loved the toy soldiers, their feet soles had metal on the bottom that made the most fantastic clomping sound as they marched and danced! 

 We managed a family pic, with Baylors gigantic Stitch

Beautiful! That's the Disney Magic :)

Turkey Day outfits from Etsy

I know my kiddos are definitely about past the age of matching outfits, but I can't help it, they look so darn cute when they are coordinated. Baylor's outfit was easy, I Love the fun print and the pink pop, but this year I had to look a little harder to find something not too "kiddish" for Grier, and since he hates being dressed-up, this tee with a tie was perfect!

Girls Holiday Looks

I was doing a little online shopping this weekend, and these holiday looks from GAP kids were too cute not to share. Sequins are a staple in Little Miss B's wardrobe right now, if she doesn't have some piece on that adds some sparkle, then she's not fully dressed, lol ;)

Sequins are a Hoot! - With some opaque black tights, this would be adorable!



Dare to be Darling, so pretty & girlie, tres' chic!

Winter Wonder 

Let's Party!

Freckles + Kitty

This is such a cute girls line of clothes. A couple of months ago, they were one of the features on Zulilly, and I ordered a dress for Baylor for over half off. When I received it, I knew it would be a new favorite of mine. Their dresses are super comfy and wash friendly jersey, no itchy lace ruffles here, but they use such great patterns and colors, that they  still can be used for nicer outings and would make some great photo outfits.

Here's the one I got for Baylor (in black) and another color variation they've got this time,

She sported hers with bright pink tights and black boots, so cute!

I really liked this little candy-striper set, but it was already sold out :( 

I'm not a big purple fan, but I really like this combination with the grey and green 

Not really Baylor's style, or my favorite, but I love the bold colors against the black

Crewcuts

I just received the cutest catalog in the mail, Crewcuts, it's J Crew for kids, sooo cute. Since both of my children are now officially "kids" not toddlers or babies, I've had a hard time finding clothes that are still cute, but "cool" for them. Grier is easy, you can never got wrong with Ralph Lauren or Polo. But my itty bitty Baylor doesn't want to wear the kiddy stuff stuff anymore, and I really am not into this "Justice" store that all her friends and her love, so I think this will be a perfect compromise.

What little studs, love Peacoats for boys

Such a fashionista, this is totally a "Baylor" look!

So cute, I want this outfit

Love classic Navy, ordered this one for Baylor already :)
