Found Fashion :: hand-made-hair-accessories-vintage-look

And we're back! The temperatures are cooling and everyone is settling into a routine for the school year. We got our summer fill of water fun, outdoor play, and dodging the heat. I am enjoying my return to a more regular schedule that allows for more creative time for me. I made a hair accessory one Sunday morning to add a little vintage flair to my look. It was perfect. Made of rosettes and felt flowers with tulle netting, it was the perfect complement to a subdued and classic outfit. 

I am considering a how-to of this hair pin and wondering if there is any interest?

Hopefully this is our return to some semi-regular programming. 

Welcome back! I'm glad you Found me! :)

Found Fashion :: Children's Clothing - Hucklebones

I am always on the look-out for new children's clothing line options. And this new-to-me line Hucklebones is so sweet and perfect! Maybe I can have a girl just so I can dress her in these clothes?...

I love the sash/bows that tie across the chest. 

And this jumpsuit/romper is so incredibly simple and lovely I can't even handle it. Do you think the Husband would be upset if I bought these for my "future daughter" box? hmmm.

What children's clothes are perfect for your taste? And what do you love to see your kids wearing?

Found Fashion :: Nude Lip

Are you into the nude lip trend? I am loving it and you can find my post about it at SavvySassyMoms today!

Found Fashion :: Children's Valentine Pajamas

I found these off-beat pajamas at Crazy8 and I love them! I find them unique and not a girlie take on valentines. They are masculine and playful at the same time. Being a mom to two boys, I'm on the look-out for fun clothing that is not over-branded, cartoon emblazoned or overly juvenile. This fits the bill.

These are for the little girl in your life, they won't be outdated as soon as Valentine's Day passes. Cupcakes are sweet and fun year round, and these sport a cute color scheme that isn't overwhelming. Found at Gap.

Found Fashion - Ballet-Slippers-style-shoes-for-Baby-Girls

As I was completing my regular "stroll" of etsy the other day, I came across this adorable pair of ballet slipper inspired shoes for baby girls. I am in love with them and would buy a pair for myself if I wasn't afraid of wearing out the soles and if my feet weren't more than a wee bit too big. Let me tell you that if I have a baby girl in the even remotely near future these will be on the very tippy-top of my MUST-purchase list! 

Maybe the wishes of my two year old will be met with the next addition to our family (timing to be determined). He said he'd like a "gull baby" and then he said he wanted a "geen gull baby"... I'm pretty sure we would love a girl baby, but we'll pass on a green one.

Found Fashion :: Children's-Shoes

I love these cute velcro shoes for little boys. These shoes are from online retailer Elephantito, but I found them via Gilt. They were a steal of a deal at $21 and if you have a baby shoe love gone awry these would be perfect to round out that cute shoe rack spanning the bottom of your little ones closet.

Found Fashion :: Oh me, OPI

I always struggled to find nail polish that would stay on my nails. I have nail beds that naturally repel polish and so it was hard to find a polish that wouldn't peel off. But I finally found that if I use OPI polish (due to the professional salon quality) I get more wear than I ever have out of 1 application. I have also fallen in love with alot of their darker shades. Below are some of my favorites and the names just make me love them even more!

Found Fashion :: Halloween Glamour and Steampunk Costumes

I attended a pre-Halloween party while on vacation and the hostess and one of her accomplices had the most amazing and glamorous costumes. The hostess was adorned as a "Steam punk" and tended the bar of mocktails and Italian sodas throughout the evening. I absolutely love each entire look! I concentrated on rounding up the costumes for my children who attended as curious George and the man with the yellow hat. I'll post pictures soon of the little ones. But for now enjoy these pictures from our very glamorous and Victorian Halloween celebration.

Found Fashion - Relaxed Weekend Wear

Sometimes I get to spend the weekend participating in what I consider camping. This consists of no tents, running water, a refrigerator and access to some semblance of a toilet that doesn't include the words "out" and "house". My grandparents cabin that is still in family fulfills the requirements and the setting is absolutely beautiful! We have campfires on the property and hike all around the mountain. We visit the Lodge at the lake and listen to the radio and cook where my grandmother cooked. It's nostalgic and peaceful, and full of love. When I go to the lake I like to bring along clothes that make me feel relaxed and comfortable, but for me that doesn't include sweatpants and tennis shoes - spurs get into those things and you'll feel them for months even after a good wash or cleaning. So here is an example of what I like to take for a relaxed weekend at the lake.

These boots are an amazing mix of a cowboy boot but a casual lower heel boot. Plus Franco Sarto makes some of the most amazingly comfortable shoes on earth! I wore a pair of 3 inch heels by FS and they were the most comfortable thing I've worn that is that tall.

This is by far my favorite Gap jean. Its the "easy straight destructed jeans". I have them in a medium dark wash and I am hoping Gap comes out with them again. I love the relaxed fit and straight leg.

I'm a sucker for a great sweater with structure and interest but comfort to boot. This type of sweater is a staple in my cool weather wardrobe.

Found Fashion - Retro Striped Swimsuit

Can I love a swimsuit that much? Turns out the answer is yes! This is a dream come true for me, the style is soooo perfect!

Now to wait for when my pregnant body will return a state of normalcy so I could wear this sweetness!

Found Fashion - French Connection Tee

I have always been a sucker for French Connection clothing. My favorite sweatshirt/hoodie of all time came from that store. As I've transitioned into a dressy casual state of dress, this shirt seems like it might just belong in my closet!

Found Fashion - Paul Frank Monkey Hoodies

I was looking for sock monkey fabric the other day and came across Paul Frank Industries "Small Paul" collection and I am in love with it. I would have my boy wear this anytime, its not over branded - just cute and very stylish.
