The Little Miss Giveaway

What a great way to start a friday, with my FIRST giveaway! I found The Little Miss Shop (instagram: @thelittlemisshop) while I was browsing on Instagram. I immediately fell in love with her cute baby headbands and bows, so I double tapped that photo as fast as I could. Next thing I know, the headband was at my front door mailbox. And oh mama! That headband was lusciously soft. I couldn't have been more pleased with the quality and customer service. Quality is everything to me.

Fiesta like there is no mañana

This weekend we celebrated my mama's birthday, fiesta style. We threw together a last minute surprise party. Our inspiration for the party was Jessica's artwork from Little Baby Garvin. She is an AMAZING chalkboard artist and mama. period.

My sister and I slaved cooked in kitchen while my mom was guided by a top secret plan all day until she was "surprised" at the fiesta.

Decorations & Cupcakes. ( Shop the decorations here. )

Operation: surprise party. FAILED. Well at least the surprise part. All of our guest were enjoying themselves so much that no one heard my mom come through the garage. That was suppose to be our cue. Ooops. Sorry Mama.

The birthday girl.

Operation: Fiesta like there is no mañana, success!

Spring Favorites

I just love the feel of spring days with neons and neutrals. Don't get me wrong, I love to cuddle up in the fall. But with longer and brighter days there always seems to be a bit more of a spring in my step. I can't wait to rock my neon and neutrals this spring.

Here are some keys pieces to matching with your mini

ONE. TWO. THREE. FOUR. FIVE

I am so disappointed. Just as I put up the link for the neon mila cap toe flats from J.Crew, the neon color is SOLD OUT online. I swear they had them in every size in the neon. Race like a racehorse to your nearest J. Crew store to pick those cuties up. THEY ARE A MUST.

In other shoe news, I could not put these in my cart hand fast enough. They are perfect for spring. They will brighten up an outfit in no time. Plus, Who would refuse some sparkle? Not me.

What are your Spring Favorites?
