Chic Little Valentine

February 5, 2013

Valentine’s Day is almost here and in honor of that, I’ve found some super cute girls Valentine’s Day outfits. I love clothes, but since I’ve had a daughter, I seem to do a lot more shopping for her than for myself! So stylish and chic, I sometimes wish the clothes I find for my little girl fit me too!

1) These heart print skinny jeans by Gap are adorable. So on trend with fashion that I would love to wear them, and of course, so many little girls would love to have tiny hearts on their jeans! Pair them with a long sleeve tee and sweater during the colder days and then for spring, a cute short sleeve tee will look cute!

2) This beautiful heart dress by Pink Chicken is so sweet. Pink Chicken makes some of the cutest clothes out there, and better yet, they also make a small line of clothing for us mamas! A long sleeve tee underneath the dress paired with tights would look cute for colder weather, and then just some cute sandals in the warmer weather will do just fine!

3) This long sleeve heart tee by J. Crew is great. It can pretty much go with anything – leggings, jeans, skirt with tights, and during the warmer weather, long sleeve tee’s always come in handy at the beach or lake when the weather gets cooler in the evening.

4) These pink butterfly sandals from Old Navy are too cute. Again, if they came in our size we’d be stylin’! These sandals look cute with just about anything, and my daughter loves the butterfly pattern which makes them all the more exciting!

5) I love this heart hoodie from Old Navy as well. This is something I would buy in a size larger and just roll up the sleeves so my daughter could get two seasons out of it. So cozy and fun, it’s great for cool spring days or layered up for winter weather.

Happy shopping Mamas, and Happy Valentine’s Day too!

Style Session: Camping with Gina Cristine Photography

July 24, 2012

The Surprise Session with Gina Cristine Photography was a hit! Parents and children were surprised when they arrived at a local forest preserve for their photography session. A vintage inspired camping scene was waiting for them along with outfits and accessories styled by us!

{Click the collage for a closer look at all of the images}

Could these kids be any cuter?! Gina worked her magic again along with set stylist Jennifer to bring this fun vision to life. Thread Culture is our latest Etsy obsession and they created five outfits for us. Tom & Drew Boys, Gap Kids, Crewcuts and Old Navy combined to create the rest of the kids’ looks. Headbands, bows, hats and jewelry were switched in and out throughout clicks to give families many different styles and options for each child. Although it was HOT, this day was so fun and it was amazing to see the children’s faces light up when they saw their outfits. We heart our job!

Family Style: Classic Americana

May 21, 2012

Old Navy is known for their affordable looks for the entire family. But what I think they do best is Classic Americana. I’m not talking about their Flag Tees, which work great as a bathing suit cover-up, their subtle red, white and blue pieces that can be styled country to chic.

The unofficial start of summer is this weekend! {YAY!} For this edition of Family Style we are getting you ready for Memorial Day, the 4th of July and the All American BBQ or picnic your family is planning.

How does it work? Simple. Take a peek at our favorite pieces from the Old Navy Americana Collection for Men, Women, Girls, Boys and Baby. Mix and match tops and shorts, dresses and sandals for each member of your family. Once you have taken note of your favorites, visit OldNavy.com and get shopping!

You can’t go wrong. Be bold and mix prints or go classic with a white sundress and sandals. The choice is yours and shopping is easy because every piece – headband to flip-flops – is from OldNavy.com.

How do you mix your red, white and blue? Leave a comment or share photos on our Facebook Wall!
