Time to Find:: Handmade Spring and Summer Dresses

It's that time of year.... time to purge the kids' closets.

No Fail Shoe Buying Tips for Little Girls - Always Have a Matching Pair!

Have you ever been SUPER excited about an adorable outfit that you or your child have put together, then realize that NONE of your shoes look good with it? Totally ruins that outfit.. completely kills it :(

Today, I am going to help you out a little bit. We are going to do a girl's shoe wardrobe for summer. With a little strategy, and direction, you will have shoes to match any outfit possible!

Girl's Shoes -... by markoosmodern

Floral Tennies - $9.99 - TARGET
-super cute and on-trend for summer, they will match most of her easy breezy outfits, and are comfortable and practical for days on the go.

Aqua Sandals - $44 - ZAPPOS
-everyone needs a pair of sandals - for the beach, pool, picnic... these are Teal/Turquiose which is a universally flattering color..much easier to match with multiple items of clothing than any other bright color.

Gold Boat Shoes - $55 - ZAPPOS
-Of all of the shoes here, these are the most important. You will be amazed what these match!! Any bronze colored shoe will go further than you could ever imagine..they just match everything - bronze is a much wiser choice than silver or gold.

Polka-Dot Flats - $22.95 - THE CHILDREN'S PLACE
-because they are fun, and on-trend - polka-dots and nautical.. a go to shoe for the cute fancy-pants in your life!

Yellow Rain Boots - $50 - ZAPPOS
-for rainy days, or just a day you need to add a little sunshine!! These yellow rain boots are super fun, and a solid, bright color is a chic choice..one that will brighten any rainy day outfit, and will not clash.

Asics Tennis Shoes - $45 - ZAPPOS
-every kid needs a good, supportive athletic shoe.. don't let them talk you into a goofy pair of colorful ones. You are gonna hate them! You will look at them as they run down the soccer field or court thinking they look like a total doofus! Grab a high quality pair of nuetral colored shoes... they will love these due to the added "bling" from the silver. May I also suggest that you do a dark/black pair. They will look cleaner/newer longer.

Hope this gives you a little insight!

Sweet Sunshine - Summer Style for a Girl's Day Out.

AHHHHHHH.... summer breezes, outdoor concerts, amusement parks... Just think of all those lovely things you are planning for this summer. Think of that warm sun on your skin, and that light breeze in your hair. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I am SO looking forward to doing all of these things and more. Spending lots of time outside with the kids is always a must for us. You want them to be prepared, and look good too! Today, I styled an outfit for a day out and about.

Lace Fashions for Spring - Great for little or big girls!!

I have recently felt the need to add a little romanticism to my wardrobe, in the form of lace.

Lace can be incredibly intimidating! It is all to easy to come out looking like you fell out of a flowery tea pot, or even worse, a XXX magazine!! BUT, if done right, it can look OH SO CHIC!! I aimed today to find some great peices to list for you, and would like to come up with a handful to style for tomorrow :)

Go ahead and look through, and let me know which you would like me to style for tomorrow's post!!
