Date Night for Mom! - Two looks for Valentine's Day

Earlier in the year, I posted my 2012 resolutions. In them, I resolved to "dress myself, not just the kids" I am betting I am not the only mom who has a problem with this! We spend so much time on the kids that when it comes time to take care of ourselves, we are wiped out, and would rather hang out in sweatpants on the couch... I get it. I do.

Today, I decided to do a couple looks for the person in charge of making the little ones look so darn cute. Yup, that is us...the moms. Now hopefully you will be getting the chance to get out of the house with your sweetheart this Valentine's day. Either way, these are very versatile looks, and could be used for many occassions, featuring two hot trends... pink and red combo, and colorblocking.

Vintage Inspired Valentine's Day!! - outfits for boys and girls!!

Happy Thursday Everyone!!

Seems that the ickness has entered the Sookram household. Boo. We are all feeling a bit under the weather. Headaches, coughs, runny noses..all around yuckiness! I needed something today that would brighten my spirits.

I went onto Etsy and found their Valentine's list under the Kid's section. FULL of adorable things. Then I found this adorable dress by Vintage Lucy's.. a shop I have long admired. I had my theme...today is all about vintage charm. There are so many great vintage and vintage inspired items, that it was very difficult to choose my peices. Hope you enjoy what I finally picked out :)

Valentine's Day for the Hipster Baby...

Now, I know that if you follow this blog, you are pretty much aware that I don't go for the run-of-the-mill, tradtional type clothing... I can shop at various stores and put things together, but there is always a sense of uniqueness and character to the looks I put out.

I like to offer these options to you as well, and when I can help to expose an artist at the same time...well, that makes me VERY happy :)

Today, I have put together more non-tradtional valentine's day look for a baby/ little girl. You don't have to cover your tot in hearts and ruffles to have her looking festive for the occassion :)
