Perfectly Imperfect

Prints Charming

About once a month you'll find Poppy and I trolling the aisles of Target and filling our cart with essentials like princess lip gloss, Tiana bandaids and other basic needs of a 4 year-old. Once in a while I actually slip something in the cart for myself!

Beginning on March 14, Target will be carrying a special collection by Liberty of London and I am head over heels wild for their prints. They are colorful, vibrant and happy. And the line looks incredible with everything from ties to bicycles and everything in between. I am planning to grab some Garla print pillows, the adorable teapot in the Sixty print and I'm kind of loving the Dunclare Pink bowls...oh and there are clothes too!

Check it out here.

Happy Shopping!

The Mini Social - Big Sales for Little Fashion Plates

 

Poppy's Nani likes to buy her all the latest labels like Juicy and True Religion from a family owned kids store in Chicago. Meanwhile, I scoop up practical preschool wear at places like Old Navy, H&M and Target. We mix high & low and it's all good. A few weeks ago a friend invited me to join an amazing sale site called the mini social.

Conceived by mom’s for mom’s, the mini social provides private access to the most hip and modern designer clothing and accessories for mom, baby and child, all at up to 60% off. The invitation only site features clean, simple design, paired with a super easy shopping experience, and will host two or more designer socials each week. A discount on designer duds isn’t the only thing you can feel pleased with yourself about. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to several favorite women’s and children’s charities, including the United States Fund for UNICEF and Shoe4Africa. It’s the social with a conscience.

And, you'll get a $10 credit when you refer a friend that signs up and makes their first purchase! Now that's what I call a great deal! Feel free to let them know I referred you. 

Cheers & Happy Shopping!

Cool Kicks

Poppy has been rockin' her Converse All Stars for a while now and I was growing concerned that they really don't offer any support.  I decided it was time to get her some real "gym shoes" but did not want to go the nerdy Stride Rite route (nothing against them - just not v. stylish!) and found these super cool kicks that were just released by Nike called J Man Casual Shoes. I love that they don't have laces and are very similar to the grown up ones that Poppy's dad has. And, they sure aren't the typical girly gym shoes with pink flowers!

Check them out:

They even come with a super cute lunch box with a cartoon MJ on it! How fun will this be to bring her lunch in?

Now Poppy will have some real shoes with real style (NBA contract TBD- lol!).

J Man Casual Shoe available at FinishLine.com

A Virtual Shopping Spree

Marc and I often laugh how we used to be a pretty stylish couple (working in retail for 14 years helped!), but now that Poppy is a part of our lives, it is her closet that rules! I thought I would do a bit of virtual window shopping at one of my favorite spots, Madison & Friends (owned by our ultra stylish Chitown cousins!) and share my spring picks for Poppy:

Kaos White Haight Ash Dress - Because Marc is a total Dead head & Pops loves to twirl!

 

Les Tout Petits White Room Service Hooded Top - You gotta love the saying on the front!

Joe's Isabella Rockstar Jean - Mom wears Joe's too and these are too cute for words!

 
 

Converse Tie Dye Baby Low Skull Slip-On - My girl loves her Chucks and these have a hippie and urban vibe at the same time!

Tip: remove scuffs from your Chucks with a magic eraser!

Oh, Momma's got to live a little too, so I'll treat myself (since it's only virtual shopping!) to these sassy new jeans from the Denim Lounge!
