Shop Small - My Faves!

If you follow along with me on any type of social media, you would know that I'm obsessed with dressing my little dude in all things trendy and grown. A year or so ago when we found out we were pregnant with a little boy - I vowed to not dress him in planes, trains, dogs or dinosaurs UNLESS it was uber modern. 

I love (some people might say obsessively)  dressing Kingston in handmade goodies from shops on Instagram and Etsy. The ladies behind these shops dedicate hours to their craft and it really shows. All the pieces I have received are of great quality and come at a really decent price. But if $15-$25 is a little more then you would pay for a piece of baby clothing ... just wait till the next holiday and you'll find that these shops do sales galore! I'm sure for St. Patties Day there will be lots of 15% off around the web. Follow along and be sure to snag something the next time they offer a deal! 

Below I've rounded up a bunch of goodies from some of my favorite brands/shops that are on Kingston's must have list. A few might even be under the sewing machine and on their way to me in a few weeks!

(This is going to be Kingston's Easter shirt!)

(Part of Kingston's first birthday outfit -- and YES I'm that mom who thinks about these things 6 months out)

(We have some multi-colored cassette tape harems coming that would work perfect with this!)

Bottoms

(These pants are purchased and will be arriving for Kingston to wear for Easter with his Jesus saves bro shirt!)

(2 for $14 leggings - we have 9&11 on the way!) 


Shoes

(All her booties are so amazing but they are always sold out. If you want some of these bad boys you have to be quick and snag them as soon as she restocks!)

Accessories

(Kingston has 8 of these slouchy's - I would love to add this one to the collection!)

Aren't all these lovelies just ... lovely? These days I'm obsessed with harems and leggings because they go over our cloth diapers so easy. I'm sure daycare loves them too because when I send him in jeans they literally have to throw him over their shoulders and have to 'jump up and down just to put 'em on'. 
And I've always been on to add accessories - whether its bibs, bow ties or hats. 

Can you see any of your littles rocking any of these pieces? If so - head on over to these shops and show them some love! 

Fall Fashion: Boots

My favorite part of fall (besides my shows which start back up this week) is the fashion. Scarves, jeans, hoodies and boots. I have a few pairs of boots that I've purchased more than once because when I wear them - I realllly wear them. I've also had the heals on those boots replaced because like I said, I really wear them. 

Check out these beauties that I'd love to have join my closet. 

1. TOM's look alike Bootie  

($39.95)

super comparable to TOM's but half the price. Check them out - there are SOO many different colors.

2. Madden Girl Riding Boots 

($55.52)

I love this Cognac color because it would go with everything. Everyone needs a pair of shoes in this color - flats or boots. 

3. Combat Boots
($24.15)
My little sister has been all about these boots. They are super cute on her and all her teeny bopper friends and I'd love to own a pair but I'm unsure if I could pull them off. 


4. Camo Combat Boots
($21.99)
I've been obsessed lately with styling Kingston in camo - but I've realized it's totally a unisex pattern and girls can pull it off just as well. 


5. Quilted Boots
($41.52)
Love these!


Who knew Amazon sold such cute stuff at super affordable prices?

Hi ladies! I will get back to regular scheduled posting shorty - but lately I've been getting in all the snuggles I can. 

In the meantime, my MOH/BFF Katie who blogs over at Statutes & Stilettos has taken over my blog for the day. This lady is a Kate Spade-aholic and has a closet to die for. Currently her page is under construction as she has someone working on redesigning it - but coming Fall 2014 she will be back in the game! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all! My bestie is away lovin’ on her new babe, Kingston Christopher, so while she’s away I’m guest posting! My name is Katie, and I blog over at Statutes & Stilettos! Not going lie, I’m a bit of a shop-a-holic, so you will mostly find me blogging about shopping, sales, style, and beauty. However, I like to sprinkle in some exercise, recipes, and lifestyle tips, so I hope you’ll join me on my journey! (I’ll warn you, however, that I’m currently working on a revamp of my blog, so forgive me for a lack of activity right now!)

This summer I have been studying for the Bar Exam, but there was no way it was going to keep me from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! In fact, I thought it was the perfect excuse to take a break from studying the day before the Exam and do some relaxation. Let me share with you some of my favorite finds:

My trip was off to a great start upon walking through the glass doors:

So naturally I began with shoes and found more than my wallet could afford. Here are a couple pairs I just adored (I have fall envy right now):

Next, I traipsed on over to the accessories section. In addition to shoes, I have a deep love for handbags and jewelry:

Then, there’s the beauty section. I’ve been dying to try a Clarisonic and this adorable print is on sale. Anyone try one? Have one? Thoughts?

Next, clothes. I studied abroad in England 5 years ago and fell in love with Topshop. To discover that Nordstrom has an entire Topshop line…oh boy!

However, Topshop wasn’t exactly on sale, so I kept my focus. An entire round-rack of maxi dresses for $38?! Whaaaat?!

Last, but not least: Home Goods.

I’m currently experiencing “home-owner envy” so I like to pick up little trinkets along the way like these adorable polka dot measuring cups. (I also have a thing for polka dots.)

So what did I walk away with? (Besides the cute measuring cups that is.)

(Yes both items are Kate Spade, yes I’m obsessed!)

I hope you enjoyed a few of my #nsale finds. Grateful for the opportunity to guest post on Crafting a Fairytale! Hope you’ll join me on Twitter, Instagram, and the Blogosphere :)
