"Elliots" by My Bubbalicious: Cutest Toys Ever!

Being one of those artsy-fartsy people, I am always in search of cute handmade things that you can tell someone has put a lot of love into creating. I'm an Etsy junkie (my shop will be opening this weekend if all goes as planned!) and have recently added "learn to sew" to my bucket list. I returned from a week and a half vacation on Sunday and saw that I had a Facebook post from My Bubbalicious. Upon checking out their website (definitely worth taking time to check it out by the way!), I came across these little elephants and fell in love. They are called Elliots and are handmade, available in a huge variety of patterns. There is something just so simply sweet about them; you can tell they were made with love and are ready to be loved by your little one. For just $21.95 each, you could get your child a family of them to love! Happy Tuesday!

A Name to Watch: Hispanitas.

So I first fell in love with Hispanitas with these shoes. They were literally everything that I love about shoes. I was not very familiar with the brand, but just happen to see them at Children Salon and instantly fell in love. Upon visiting the Hispanitas website, I found that, low and behold, all of their shoes are fabulous! The baby line is fairly new, so it will be exciting to see what kind of growth and expansion we see with it. Thus far, I am head over heels for what I see. And an added bonus right now: all of their summer shoes are on sale! In addition to baby shoes, they also offer childrens and adults shoes as well as hand bags. I for one an expecting this brand to do big things. Check them out and see what you think!

Sonia Rykiel Butterfly Skirt Set

The things from the Sonia Rykiel line that I really like are so few and far between that when I see one of them, I get a bit excited. This clean white outfit is something that any little girl would love because of the pink sequin butterflies. They give the whole thing that borderline dress-up magical feel. I can just picture a stylish little mama swirling around in the tiered skirt. The thing that always knocks me over about Sonia Rykiel is the price. This set was originally a nominally large $434.00. Yeah. Thankfully, since it is now July which means it's time for fall and winter lines to be coming out (BLAH), it is 50% off, so $217.00! Yeah. Still a lot. Visit Mon Petit Child for more details.

Roberto Cavalli Baby Floral Swimsuit

Sale sale sale! The vast majority of summer stuff at Lavish Kids is ALREADY on sale. Kind of crazy seeing as it is only the beginning of July, but hey, who can complain about a great sale? So this feminine little bathing suit may be one of the most adorable things I have ever seen (I know I know, I say that about a lot of things). The tie straps and big floppy flower? Fabulous. And the best part? It is on sale for $135.20, down from $169.00! 

Marie-Chantal Cashmere Romper

Okay, this may sound a little crazy, being that it is in the 90's in the Midwest US right now, but I would love to cozy up in one of these things at the moment. I layed by the pool for four hours, then went on a three mile run. I was so sweaty and hot when I got home that I took a cold shower. Now I have a bit of a chill that I can't shake. Not complaining though because if I really wanted to fix it that badly I would just step outside. So this little romper by Marie-Chantal just looks soft as can be. The light pink with blue/gray combo is really working for me too. Traditional button fastenings finish off the classic look of this crazy expensive $177.00 outfit. Find yours at none other than Children Salon.

Roberto Cavalli Velour Peony Dress

Talk about a sneak attack... when I first saw this dress I was so wowed by the bright colors (I am a sucker for red) and gorgeous flowers. Then I saw the material that it is made of: VELOUR. Eeek! Ahh!! Why??? There was so much potential. I am trying to be rational and not let me distaste (to put it lightly) for velour completely ruin the dress for me... Maybe it would work as a holiday dress? There is also something about the collar area that I am not liking. This seems like a lost cause. If you disagree, visit Children Salon, where this can be yours for $254.00.

Oh My.... His and Hers Guess Stroller Sets

Ahh... another one of life's little luxuries: designer baby strollers. Because when you dress your baby from head to toe in Gucci, you want to take them for a walk in Guess, not Graco. I must admit that this three piece set from Guess is pretty adorable, AND functional. Imagine if you had boy girl twins and were carting them around in his and hers guess car seats. The stroller is waterproof and can be either facing forwards and backwards. The pram seat can be used as a carrier (it has a handle) or it can be attached to the stroller. Pretty neat if you ask me. Oh, and the price? How about $1601.00, at Children Salon.
