The Perfect Holiday Dress from Baby Graziella

Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas party, church on Christmas, New Years Eve... this dress is perfect for all holiday occasions. It is a wonderful combination of wool and cashmere, combining all sorts of textures from the ribbed top to the sequin bubble skirt to the soft satin bow belt. I love dresses that you could pair with both white or black as far as tights, shoes, and accessories go. This dress falls right into that category. This hat by Ciccino would be an adorable addition to the outfit:

And maybe pair them with these little black patent shoes from Early Days:

Why am I all of a sudden excited for the holiday season? Why am I wishing I had a baby in my life (umm not necessarily my own) to buy these things for? Almost too much cuteness to handle. Find all of these at my all-time favorite, Children Salon.

Cute New Sandals for Summer!

I love how summer creeps up every years and somehow I seem to fall short of my springtime fitness goals... except this year I randomly decided to get back into running and am up to five miles a day. Even crazier yet, I have signed up for a half marathon in October. Goals are good to have, right? In any case, one of my favorite parts about summer is ditching the socks and shoes for painted toes and sandals. And why should your little one be left out of the fun? Especially with all of the cuteness popping up around Children Salon lately, wow! I went ahead and picked some favorites (pictured above) but there are soooo many more to choose from. This year seems to be about embellishments galore: ribbons, bows, charms, flowers... loving it all. I guess the only issue might be settling on just one pair or two that you like!

Baby Graziella Knitted Booties

Happy Monday everyone! I am trying to keep a positive state of mind going on, because normally on Monday mornings you would not want to be in the same room as me because I'm so grumpy. So I hate to say it, but we have reached that point in the summer that the season starts to wind down. Kids go back to school, it starts to get dark earlier, and Labor Day is right around the corner. As sad as this makes me, again trying to keep a positive mind frame, it is exciting to see a whole new season's worth of clothes. Which brings us to these wintery booties by Baby Graziella. Normally I am not a fur person ( like AT ALL), but something here just works for me. Maybe it's the all-white Eskimo-esque look that they have, maybe it's the fact that I think that Baby Graziella can do no wrong, who knows. But these knit booties are divine. For $79.00, find them at Children Salon.

Baby Graziella Cashmere Knit Dress

Hello gorgeous! Baby Graziella never fails to impress but with this dress, I think they have really taken it to the next level. Made of a cashmere/wool blend and lined with soft cotton, my favorite part has got to be the balloon skirt. Kind of versatile because the material screams winter but the colors hint at spring, this dress would be a fabulous addition to any lucky little lady's wardrobe. See more details of this $285.00 piece of genius at boutiqueforchildren.com.

Gorgeous Baby Graziella Dress

Well this is just stunning. Simply made of linen and tulle, this ivory-colored dress by Italian designer Baby Graziella strikes me as versatile; it could be either for the cold holidays or the warm spring. This pairs just enough ruffles and tulle without going overboard, and somehow manages to utilize a bow in a way that I actually like (I usually boycott large bows). This gorgeous dress can be found for $179.00 at lavishkids.com.

Is it too early to be thinking Spring?

So I might be jumping the gun on this one. We haven't had the first frost, my heat still has not been turned on... January 2 is usually the day that I start thinking spring. I adore the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Years trifecta, then after that I am done with winter. If January 2 was the first day of spring and if fall lasted until December 1 I would be a very happy camper. In any case, this yellow spring dress by Baby Graziella is to die for and I don't care if it is out of season right now, it cannot be ignored. Besides, it is on sale. Originally a steep $229.00, it can now be purchased for a still steep $183.20 at lavishkids.com.
