Oshkosh, Blu Pony Vintage and a touch of Janie & Jack

February 1, 2016

In all the flurry of excitement and necessary chaos, I have not made an entry to the Sunday Parade Series. To be quite honest I want my little wonderments to get as much use out of the clothes I’ve carefully selected, it seems like a full-time job. Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had a personal-shopper in our lives? So pardon me if some of the articles of clothing may be repeats from time to time.

I’m really enjoying the interaction these two are showing. AJ is sitting more and more on his own, and Natalie’s vocabulary and empathy are starting to develop more and more. Natalie still proves to be the fireball and exhibits, as my husband refers to her ‘leadership’ characteristics.

AJ: wearing all Oshkosh and a Janie & Jack bowtie. I love suspenders!

Ready for the Holidays?

December 7, 2015

I know it would be remiss not to post a few pictures from this holiday past! Can you believe Christmas is already around the corner?! This Thanksgiving was nice, as we spent it at my mother’s house, and all the fixings were exquisite, baked smoked and fried turkeys were all very tasty, and my favorite dish of all time is dressing with cranberry! We were lucky not to host this year, and I will advise all new parents and parents with small children! Don’t host, sit back and rent the hosting woes out! just kidding, more power to you if you can juggle children, turkeys, silverware in the kitchen.

So in between trying to figure out how I can translate the look I want in my house, (I might post a few pictures if I’m not to ashamed of the shabby house decorating) I caught a few after thanksgiving photos of the kiddos. To commemorate please enjoy the quick snaps!

Top: Vierra Rose’s Nico Bulldog Tee (because next to Mickey & Minnie, she loves dogs 2nd), can be found here

Skirt: Billieblush, navy blue sequin tulle skirt can be found here

Turkey Outfit: This was my husband’s idea, we had sought one out for Natalie when she was a baby but they were not available, well lucky AJ got to be our turkey this year! The outfit if you might want one later can be found on Amazon here.

Last but not least, next week’s preview, it’s starting to look a lot like Christmas!

Nellystella & Pepe

November 23, 2015

Houston’s weather dipped into the 40’s on Sunday – Hello fall weather! This should help get me into the Holiday mood, and if it doesn’t then I am still thankful for the things and people in my life. I am thankful that my husband is back home from a two-week business trip in Asia, and that my parents were able to spend a few days with us while he was gone. I am thankful that I have been blessed with two little wonderments, they’ve brought so much joy to our lives.

Recently AJ started teething and was quite uncomfortable this weekend, teething doesn’t only cause drool! So we skipped his outfitting this Sunday, hopefully he’ll be feeling like his ‘ol’ self again next Sunday.

Dress: Nellystella Clover Dress in Denim, love the shirred gathering about 3/4 of the sleeves and of course the elaborate vibrant embroidery, it could be found here

Shoes: light pink from Pepe, I love these shoes because they appear to be vintage, and they can be found here

Headband: I made her headband by hand, and it appears to complement her outfit quite nicely

Hope you enjoy the photos – the last photo isn’t as good as the rest, but I loved the expression on her face!

As a bonus, I’ve added a small video clip of big sister dancing for her baby brother, please enjoy here, and click on HD to view full resolution video

OC Kids Closet & Pepe

November 18, 2015

As I sit snuggly next to my 2-year old and the sound of keystrokes meshed with the pitter patter of raindrops on the roof, I am bringing yet another post of our ordinary lives. I’m thankful for the little peak of fall weather on Saturday, and so we wait fall’s arrival yet so more.

This past Sunday we joined a friend of mine’s baby dedication, that meant we visited her church. I am glad that Natalie was still able to enjoy Sunday School albeit in a different church. Then after a nap we ventured outside to play with the animals she adores. These are dysfunctional vinyl animals, yet we are fond of them because each of them are unique with hues of blue and pink and a hint of sparkle, that I’ve added. I may add a post on a tutorial on these fun animals if my readers are interested!

For the little miss:

Dress: Natalie’s dress was ordered through Instagram! I love instagram, its a live pinterest feed of ideas and marketplace. High collar tulle dress in gold can be found here

Shoes: Pepe is a staple in every child’s closet. I love these ballerina pink shoes ordered through Mercredi in Belgium

For the man cub:

Shirt: Janie & Jack bodysuit oxford shirt

Pants: Linen Janie & Jack in navy blue

Shoes: Oxford Crib Janie & Jack shoes can be found here

Bowtie: Janie and Jack with bulldog. It can be found here

Enjoy the photos and have a blessed week everyone!

BillieBlush, Janie & Jack, and a lil Pepe

November 10, 2015

This past Sunday was exhausting. Getting two kiddies dressed and out the door, and calm till we can finish lunch and come home to unwind and nap is no easy feat! Then throw a traveling spouse into the mix and things can get a little hairy 🙂

So after a temper tantrum because of a short nap, we decided to take her little wagon out. When she was younger we used to push her around in it, but now she is big enough to push her little brother in.

I am so thankful to have these two in our lives. I’m lucky to be called their ‘mama’

Dress: Billieblush Cat Knit Navy Dress, leopard velour cat face. Very cute and comfy dress can be found here

Girls Shoes: Pepe Shoes from Flora and Henri. Soft leather shoes. Love love these, and they can be found here

Boys Shoes: Janie & Jack Oxford Crib Shoe in Bear Brown color can be found here

Have a great until next Sunday!
