The Perfect Summer Dress

Florence Fancy

 

 

Florence Fancy is a children's boutique shop based out of New York.  They have a showroom where you can book a private trunk show and let your little one try on dresses and pick out their favorites!

The Florence Fancy Collection features clothing for specific occasions, as well as pieces that are multi-purpose. The fabrics, often specially made for individual garments, are durable and easy to wear. Patterns are bright, colorful, and fun - the three main ingredients that make children love the clothes they wear.

Charlie loves this summer floral dress because its soft and girly and it has the perfect twirl to it!

 

 

This dress would be perfect for an upcoming garden wedding or party!  Florence Fancy is sure to have a dress to fit any of your needs, though!  If you're lucky enough to live in New York, or travel there, be sure to stop by their showroom and play dress up!

Flower Girl Shoot

Krystal's Adorable Accents

 

 

We had the amazing opportunity to do a pretend bridal/flower girl photo shoot yesterday!  Krystal's Adorable Accents sent us this beautiful white tulle dress.  It is a dream! It has tons of tulle layers, making it super full and fairytale like!

 

When you get the dress, you have your choice between three different colors of sashes.  They have rheinstones all the way around and tie in the back with satin ribbon.  Charlie's favorite was, of course, the pink.  Mine was the blue!

 

Charlie just loved wearing this dress. She had to "help" me carry it to the car and couldn't stop talking about it from the minute we got it out of the package it came in! This dress would truly be special for a little flower girl!

 

 

We grabbed a couple of roses from the garden for her to hold.  She loves flowers and couldn't stop smelling them the whole photo shoot.  She was determined to save one for her big sister!

I couldn't believe how perfect the lighting was for this shoot, or how perfect that garden with the white fences was! I'm pretty sure she thought she was part of a fairytale while we were in this spot.

 

 

 

 



Lace Cream Dress

 3CLAPS

We received this amazing package from 3claps a few days ago with a bunch of dresses!  We are SO excited to share all of them with you! 

The first dresses we did a photo shoot in were the lace cream dresses.  They would be so amazing as a flower girl dress, or even just a dress to wear to a friends/families wedding. The quality is amazing.  The lace is sturdy but dainty.  There are lots of layers of tulle and a satin type lining.  There is an invisible zipper going up the back.  One of my favorite parts of this dress is the sheer top.  I love how fancy and delicate it is! 

You can purchase this dress here: Keira Dress 

You can purchase the shoes here: Avery shoes in black (on sale for $48 right now so hurry!)

We are in love with this new location that we stumbled upon!  There are water features and brick arch ways.  It's just beautiful! 

 

Shopping at Guess

The other day, we received some back to school items from GUESS.  I needed some things to go with the dress so we headed to our local outlet mall, where they have a GUESS outlet.  We stopped in to get a purse for me, but Charlie seems to have taken it over!

This denim polka dot dress is just darling!  It's perfect for back to school, or even a day of shopping with mom! The dress can be purchased from the link below:

Polka Dot Denim Dress

 

 

After we took a few photos, we stopped at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory next door and got ourselves a treat!  I had her take a few photos with my caramel candy apple. We really wanted the classic red candy apple, but it was going to be half an hour before they were ready, so we settled for a caramel one!

Charlie's treat pick was a marshmallow dipped in white chocolate with a gummy worm on it.  Why do kids always pick the grossest looking treats?! I'm sure it was delicious, though!

The purse we picked out is super cute!  It's brown and navy with chain accent on the over the shoulder handle.  It fits my license and debit card, my phone and keys just perfectly!  It's a great bag to grab when you're going shopping! I couldn't find it online to share the link with you, but you might still be able to purchase it in store.

I love how I was able to accessorize with red shoes and leggings to match the red flower on the belt of the dress! It worked out so perfectly, as well, that the bag we got from purchasing the purse was red and went with the whole outfit!

 

 

We can't wait to share the next GUESS look with you that we put together! It involves denim and faux fur!  Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss out! It's stinkin cute!

 

Thank you GUESS for the adorable denim dress!

 

Little Jadore

Little Jadore and Butterfly Wings

 

 

We are so excited to share this photo shoot with you!  This dress from Little Jadore is perfection.  The tulle and knit top are so soft and sweet and there is even a turquoise sequin applique on the bodice. The minute we got this dress in the mail, Charlie snatched it up and ran in the other room with it to try it on. She adores anything with tulle and sparkle.

 

You can purchase the dress here: Azure Dress

 

Charlie's shoes are from: Jetaime For Girls

They sell lots of cute shoes, even mommy and me sets!

I used sheer ribbon on Charlie's legs.  It isn't a part of the shoes.

 

We got the wings at 40% off at  the craft store, Joann's. They are actually adult sized, but we knotted the elastics that hold them on to make them small enough for her.  I'll admit, they were hard to work with. The didn't want to stay open.

Our best kept secret is that you never have to pay full price at Joanns.  In fact, you can almost always get items you want for 40-50% off.  They always have a 50% off coupon to print on their website and they accept competitors coupons if they sell the same item that you are using the coupon for. You can use more than one coupon per transaction as long as the UPC symbols are all different. Places you can get coupons to use at Joann's are Michaels and Hobby Lobby. Shoot, now our secrets out! ;)

 

The sunset tonight was pastel and dreamy, which made for a perfect photo backdrop.

 

There was a field with tons of dandelions, which if you know Charlie, you know she's obsessed with dandelions. She can't help herself.  She was picking bouquets of them and making lots of wishes.  She said, "Mommy, you know what I wished for?  A new toy!"

 



After we spent a while making dandelion wishes, we took a short walk to the beach. Charlie insisted! I was ready to go home, but Charlie LOVES to play in the water and she knew the waves were just over that little hill from the dandelion field.  I was so glad she talked me in to it because it was a beautiful evening with an even more beautiful sunset!  It was warm enough to jump in the waves, too!



 

As always, thank you for stopping by our blog!

We hope that you enjoyed this photo shoot as much as we did! It's hard to call what we do work.  It's just too much fun. We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with so many amazing companies!

Gracious May

Azalea Collection

 

 

Gracious May sent us some things from their new collection, Azalea, yesterday!  It is all so perfect for fall, which is just around the corner!  We are so excited for cooler weather and changing leaves.  Fall is our favorite season!  Accessorizing can be so much fun because you have a lot more options like leg warmers, scarves and jackets! 

After our photo shoot  yesterday, we walked around the local farmer's market and we got stopped every few feet by people admiring her outfit!  I'm not exaggerating when I say that.  Every time she wears any of her Gracious May boots, she gets so many compliments!  When we pass by people, I hear "Oh my gosh, did you see that little girl's boots?!"

Gracious May is our favorite!!  Their boots go with everything.  Charlie wears hers almost daily and she loves them because they are soft soled so she feels like she's walking bare foot! 

I remember as a little girl, my mom bought me a pair of moccasins and looking back, I feel like I didn't ever take them off until they were so worn out it wasn't possible to wear them anymore.  I love the memories it brings back when Charlie wears hers.

The leg warmers and headband Charlie has on are from Gracious May's sister brand, Snugars.  We love the quality of their accessories!  They are super soft and stretch and always on trend with their colors! You can purchase Snugars at graciousmay.com or snugars.com

So I got a new lens and I wanted to try it out, and we also were in need of some fresh air, so we headed to the beach for sunset! We received this dress courtesy of Over The Loom a few days ago and we were dying to shoot some photos in it! It was a beautiful evening, a little foggy at one point, which made for some interesting lighting!

 

It was a pretty crowded night on the beach and that made it hard to take photos because there were a lot of people in the background but also because everyone wanted to stop and comment on how adorable Charlie looked!  A few asked if she was in a wedding.  This really would make the perfect flower girl dress!

 

 

Other items we've received from Over The Loom in the past shown below:

 

 

These fox shoes are darling!  They are great quality and easy for Charlie to put on and wear.  She adores them!

The shoes can be found here: Fox Shoes and they are only $24.99!

 

 

This lace dress is pure bliss.  It is so delicate and so well made.  The skirt is full because there are layers of lining and tulle under the skirt.  The lace is delicate but sturdy.  Charlie has worn it a bunch of times and it still looks brand new.  It zips up the back with an invisible zipper.  I do a lot of sewing, myself and I pay a lot of attention to detail.  This dress is WELL made and worth every penny.

 

*This dress is currently sold out.  I'll post the link if it becomes available later.*

 

This beautiful dress makes Charlie feel like a fairy princess.  It's so soft and flowy!  It  buttons and ties up the back and it has all of these fluttery little flowers all over the front!  So cute!

 

 

Abella got this black and white lace dress from Over The Loom.  It has a gold belt that comes with it.  The under shirt is fleece lined so it's perfect for fall/winter on cooler days.  It can also be worn without the shirt on warmer days.  Such a versatile dress!

The dress can be found here: Coco Lurex Lace Dress

 

 

 

This jacket is Charlie's personal favorite. It's an Elsa inspired jacket! We all know kids love ANYTHING Frozen themed.  The jacket has a detachable, glittery cape.  There is a faux braid attached at the base of the hood, just like Elsa's!  I love the little pleats at the bottom!  It is fully lined.  It is made of a thick, fleece type fabric.  This jacket is a must have for your Frozen obsessed little one for the coming cold days!

 

The jacket can be found here: Snow Queen Jacket It's reasonably priced at $28 (they also carry Snow White jackets)!

 

I can honestly say that Over the Loom sells amazing garments!  We have loved and washed each thing we've received from them and they all have worn and held up SO well. I always wash in cold water on the delicate cycle and line dry all of Charlie's fancy clothes.

 

Make sure to head over to Over The Loom and check out the rest of the beautiful things they carry!  You won't be disappointed!

 

Thank you for stopping by!  Charlie says "Hi and goodbye!"
