Thank you Wendy, I love scarves, but never quite knew what to so with them.

Sweater Pants
This past weekend Lola and I went to visit Damaris, as always it was an absolutely fun time and was productive and creative to boot! We made Lola these pants from and old sweater that Damaris had set aside to send to the thrift store.
I had forgotten my camera, so we were unable to do a step-by-step to show you how to make them, this time. But, as I was telling my friend Erin about them we decided that her little boy Ian, who is due in January must have a pair as well! So, I will document the "how to" then!
The sweater we chose for Lola's pants was incredibly soft and had an interesting snap detail on the sleeves that we used on the back of the pant legs! They were so easy to make, and I love them so much that Lola may be spending her entire winter in warm fuzzy sweater pants!

Lola is so cuddly in these pants, and they are so comfy for her that she is able to play, stretch, and climb in them with no problem. Truth, I wish I had some sweater pants for myself!
I can't wait to get started on Ian's!!!
My goal is to have the "how to" posted next week.

These kids coats are UH-mazing! Just the sort of thing that would spark hours
of imaginative play outdoors, and just the sort of thing that I would love for Lola to have when she is older! They are a tad spendy, because they are made to order, but maybe when Lola is big enough we will be in a place where we can splurge on such a fantastic treat! Oh, and mommas, if you are secretly jealous, or the type of mom that is cool enough to pull this off, she has the fox coat in ladies sizes too. Check out Little Goodall's Shop here.
So Cool, It's Nuts
I came across this incredibly quick and simple DIY (I apologize I can not find the original source), and wanted to share it with you! I love that it could absolutely be dressed up or down!
If you are looking for me, I will be rummaging through Jeff's toolbox looking
for rope and unused hardware to re-purpose.

Kiddy Casual
I absolutely love these simple and sweet little girls outfits.
Perfect for this time of year when it's still beautiful outside, but the air is getting cooler.

I realized that I mostly post with little girls in mind (because I have a little
girl), but I know that many of you have little boys, so in future posts I am
going to start posting with your little guys in mind too!

Sexy Beach Hair
I love the look of sexy beach hair!
While my hair is naturally wavy, there is just something special that happens to your locks when you are in the salty sea air. Even though we now live only minutes from the beach I unfortunately, do not get the chance to enjoy the surf, sand, and sun near as much as I'd like due to our hectic schedule (and my only slightly irrational fear of Lola getting sunburned).

And yes, I know...there are plenty of hair products out there to cheat this look, but I can not justify paying the cost of the designer products to recreate the tousled waves I could get for free while having fun on the beach.
Here is some great news!
I was searching around the web and happened upon this brilliant recipe for
making your own Surf Spray hair product!

2 teaspoons of epsom salt
2 squirts of water based hair gel
4 ounces of water
combine in a spray bottle
shake well before each use
And the best part, it costs only pennies and a couple of minutes to make.

Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray (4oz) $23

Casual Friday
I'd totally wear this outfit to meet some girlfriends for coffee, or to push Lola
on the swings at the park. It's simple, classic, and stylish without any fuss...and the
bonus is that the bag is big enough to fit everything that Lola will need too.

Shop this Look:
shoes J Jill I apologize but these are no longer available :o(
necklace Urban Outfitters asymetrical free bird necklace $18
OK so, the Chloe bag is a fantasy, but...a girl can dream, right? (sigh)
Besides, I'm positive that a similar look will turn up in a thrift store.....eventually.

Midsummer Nights
When I came across this photo of this absolutely classic little girl in this sweet,
comphy, and summery dress...I was flooded with memories of summer trips to visit
my great aunt in New York. Instantly, I could smell the honeysuckle that grew near
the back fence, could feel the warmth of my sun kissed shoulders, and remember the
energy of my loose curls gently bouncing as I stretched and leaped for fireflies at dusk.

Now that I have a little girl of my own, I find myself frequently
looking back on my own childhood reminiscing and making mental notes (and posts)
about the things that I cherish about being a kid and tell myself that I absolutely must remember to recreate those carefree memories with Lola when she's older.

...I can just see Lola catching fireflies in this sweet, summer dress in a few years,
even the head piece is adorable!
