Market Casual

We woke up early Sunday morning to drive out of town to the Aberfoyle Antique Market.  Not a super exciting event, but one where we aimed to look casual yet still cute…but comfortable for lots of walking and sunshine.  Johannes was so full of energy that he absolutely REFUSED to let us scope out the merchandise…and instead opted to run around and scream the entire time.  Kids have the best time, secretly I’m a bit jealous!

Weekend Wears: elSage Designs

on me:  elSage Designs top, J Brand jeans, Nike sneakers

on J: elSage Designs Tshirt, CrewCut jeans, Hunter boots

I’m finally committing to a what we wore fashion post a week.  I think anything more than that would just be too much, but one a week I can do for sure!

Last week I received the best package from one of my favorite independent, Eco-friendly designer, elSage Designs.  I first came across Phoebe Carpenter Eells shop last year when I ordered several outfits for Johannes {which you’ve seen in his toddler outfit posts}  and a little something for me too (naturally).  I am in love with the softness of the materials and the uniqueness of the designs.   As a mom of two little boys, Phoebe designs, carves and prints the garments entirely by hand in her home studio!  Isn’t that rad?  Thank you Phoebe for the lovely tops!  You can see the entire elSage Designs collection here.

**and did I mention that since Johannes is obsessed with all thing car related, he refused to take the t-shirt off…even when I bribed him with a bath**

Check out this video to see Phoebe in action.

Fashion Friday…on a Monday

JOE Fresh knit hat  .  ZARA scarf and coat  .  GAP jeans {old}  .  UGGS

We are definitely in full hat season swing.  Johannes is one of those kids who loves hats, so it makes it fun for me to dress him up.  And while fun animal shaped hats are kind of awesome for babies, plain knit hats are pretty sweet too.  I love when babies/toddlers dress like mini adults.

This fashion post was supposed to go up last Friday.  But some things came up and I just didn’t have the energy to post it.  So this is sort of a fashion friday post…on monday.

 

 

prep school – holiday style

Joe Fresh bow tie, ZARA sweater and collard shirt, GAP jeans {girl section}

I found these $5 bow ties at Joe Fresh and couldn’t resist.  I mean bow-ties and little boys are about the cutest thing ever.  Not that you can’t wear bow-ties as a girl.  In fact if I had a little girl she would totally rock these too, with a cute skirt and knee-highs!?!?!?  It would look so cute!

The main reason I bough the ties though is for the holidays. Because a v-neck, skinny jeans, elbow patches, collard shirts and bow-ties are a MUST for the holiday season in our house.

 

Fashion Friday – Toddler Leggings {on boys!}

Joe Fresh jacket, vest and black top {all old}, Tea leggings, GAP hat and baby UGGS.

Who says girls are the only ones that can wear leggings?!  These Tea leggings are my favorite so far.  They’re super super soft and they hold their shape well…plus they tuck really well into boots.  I think J loves them too because usually when I ask him to grab some pants he grabs these :D

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

Fashion Friday: Toddler Wears

We’re sick…and I know, I know you’ve heard that about a thousand times lately but it is what it is.  So please excuse the super short post yet again.  I did manage to snap one set of pics this week of J and his outfit.

I have about 30 different things to talk about but right now I’m super tired so it will all have to wait until next week :(

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
