fashion designer in the making

my little 5 year old is already telling me she wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up. She has promised me she will design clothes for me too :)

For a fun bedroom update I popped some crewcuts pages into her frames, she already spends ages drawing outfits, it's a little extra inspiration for her! Quick + simple, and will hopefully get a great big smile when she sees it!

Happy weekend, x

crewcuts + great rooms

I find myself just as crazy about crewcuts as I am about jcrew lately! Which would explain why I adored this post from the Alice Lane blog, taking the sweetest crewcut looks and pairing them with a great room. One of my favorites-

school days

wow. My little Calleigh Elizabeth has started school. Preschool. Had her first day yesterday. Had some serious reservations, as I'm sure all moms do, as to how she would handle it. On grandma's advise we let her drop her off, so the mommy separation issue wasn't there. She did great. Loved it in fact. Was a little ticked that she didn't get to go this morning. Only 2 days a week this year..considering we didn't know how she would like it. Our house, with two little girls is often a who can screech louder, run faster or win the tug of war over a toy house. Yesterday, while Calleigh was at school and just Lauren ( almost 2) at home, it was blissfully quiet. She sat at the table and painted. Then got excited to go bring Calleigh home. Home is her new favorite word since she was at the hospital last week! So, all the anxiety I had..gone. Phew. { This coming from the mom, who before kids used to cry when I dropped the dog off for a haircut.} Yup, I'm pretty proud of all of us.

So in honor of all the little girls heading to school for the first time, or back again this year, enjoy these adorable looks from crewcuts. So+sweet. xo

oh+sweetness

I adore crewcuts as much as I do jcrew.

The styling, quality and wear ability of their children's clothes are outstanding. When I visited Dallas, I literally stood outside the store to admire..it's adorable! I was able to contain myself [some what]. The girls loved their new outfits.

here are some truly+sweet pieces.
