Do you know about Zulily? It’s a daily deal site much like Gilt Groupe and others. But it’s all kids toys and fashion and some mom fashion thrown in to make things extra fun! If you don’t already Zulily, here’s an invitation to join from me! Typical “me” – here’s what caught my eye on [...]

I adore a beautifully hand-smocked little girl’s dress. Nothing sweeter. For The Love of Smocking is a shop on Etsy that has some of the most classic smocked dressed I’ve seen in a long time. Nothing kitschy or theme-y. Just great fabric (lots of floral and calico), puff sleeves, peter pan collars and traditional smocking. [...]

I have found myself gravitating towards black and white stripes for myself this spring. Am I the willing victim of solid fashion marketing? Maybe. Oh, well…as long as it’s cute, I guess I’ll take what the stores are subliminally spoon-feeding me! And I’m loving the black and white striped options for little girls too! Though [...]

We have sufficiently established that I love very classic little girls’ dresses and shoes. Ready for a few more? Elephantito has some of the sweetest little girls’ dresses around. Very traditional, but not old-fashioned. (And don’t even get me started on how cute their mary janes are. The gold and silver ones? To die for.) [...]

My husband has always been a bit of a shopper. Until Harold’s closed last year, one of his favorite spots to shop was the clearance rack there. Always had a few XL gems for a good price. And then he went through a little Nordstrom shirt-shopping phase too. A Von Maur opened near us, good [...]

Sophisticated but fun fabrics. Attention to detail like I’ve never seen. Meticulous contrasting linings, reverses and edging. Beautiful construction. All of these describe Hoot Baby’s lovely designs for little girls. Dresses, tunics, skirts, bloomers – all of Hoot Baby’s pieces look delicious enough for a special occasion. And yet, they’re fun and not fancy, frilly [...]

So…..I’m back. Took a little unexpected hiatus there for a week or so. Life. Kids. Whatnot. I’m sure you know how that goes. Anyway. I’m back! While I was gone, I bought a new dress for myself. Had an outdoor fundraiser to attend. In late June. In Kansas. Holy humidity and heat…My choice was ultimately [...]

Remember back in the ’80′s when sweet calico and floral Laura Ashley dresses were all the rage? For little girls and not-so-little girls? Full skirts, shoulder poufs, sashes, peter pan and sailor collars? Jessica McClintock and Gunne Sax got into it too but the style was a little different. Laura Ashley was always fresh, clean [...]

It does take something special, something new, something unique to make me “SQUEEEE!” Okay, maybe that doesn’t ring true when I do that all the time here. But, people? I look at hundreds and hundreds of dresses, crib sets, rocking chairs, shoes, hair bows and the like. Only the ones that make me smile or [...]

Tea Collection’s spring line is inspired by South America – Brazil, in particular. The fruits of this inspiration are delicious! I adore this dress – it is so simple and bright and modern. But still perfect for a little girl who is not trying too hard to be a big girl yet. And this polo [...]
