a day in the life

Aloe Love

When it comes to our family of pale'sies the more coverage a swimsuit has, the better! In our opinion applying sunscreen is one of the toughest part of parenthood (OK, a slight exaggeration, but you get the point...). No, a swimsuit does not block all of the sun's harmful rays...but it's a start.  Needless to say, we were super excited to see the surf suit trend show up in toddler and kids sizes. It doesn't hurt that we also think this is one of the most exciting swim prints we've seen in awhile.  Win, win, win!

for the Littles:

for the Girls:

  • Mara Hoffman Swim Suit

  • similar Jefferies Socks
  • Akid Sandals

In the Swag

Betcha' didn't know you needed a little camel swag in your life!  Well, when we picked up this 'sash' at the flea market we didn't know exactly what it was we just knew we needed to have it, but, it has recently come to our attention one potential use is as camel swag.  And really, why not?  After all, a girl does need to accessorize!

for the Littles:

  • Crewcuts Blouse
  • American Apparel Pleated Skirt or similar Anaïs and I Skirt
  • ICU Sungllasses (no longer available)
  • Vintage Beaded Sash with Pom Poms
  • similar Saltwater Sandals, also here

Tube Topping It

Today we are thinking about versatility in our wardrobe and trying new things.  In that spirit we are wearing a light weight romper as a top and we really love the results.  This one always loves to pull her tutus up as tops so next on the agenda: wearing a skirt as a summer top...coming soon!
