as swimsuit season rapidly approaches i’m starting to think about ideas for swimwear for my kids. i’m not one to put my daughter in a bikini {no offense to anyone who does!}, that’s just my preference until she asks me.
this beautiful “vintage daisy” suit by shoshanna caught my eye…i think it was the crochet detail that did the trick.
an adorable local store, victory, is carrying these lovely towels! the colors are perfect & they are so soft. the owner of victory said, “they get softer with every wash”. i love the set that i purchased.
if you’re in minneapolis please support victory 612-926-8200. for those of you out of state i found a website to order online.
what a great hostess gift!
everything on lotta jansdotters website is on sale—a lot of it is $10.00, which, if you know her label is a pretty good deal. apparently she is coming out with a new line soon—can’t wait to see it!

my friend michelle of pretty mommy {myprettymommy.blogspot.com} introduced me to this adorable shoes last year. i also believe i had a pair when i was a kid…per a picture. anyway, they are timeless and just adorable! i can’t wait to get a new pair for my little sweets.

I was doing a little shopping online for my kiddies tonight, found this item, so I had to add onto my stripe commentary in the earlier post. Love this piece for little girls. I’m picturing my daughter wearing this dress with her olive colored tights and red cowgirl boots or with her UGGS.
