Easter Bunny's Best...

I hope everybunny had a fabulous Easter. I surely did. As I say, life is like an Easter basket, sweet and full of surprises. Best of all, it's a holiday when you are "required" to wear a fancy new outfit. Um, new clothes, candy, toys AND spring weather? That tops the list of favorite holidays for me. However, I might be changing my tune at Christmas time this year in California.

This special occassion called for a dress that was pretty, dainty, and not pink. After some shopping, I found this pretty white eyelet dress,  detailed with fabric flowers that adds just a touch of pink, pink straps and an empire waist. A darling white knit cardigan, lacy white socks and white shoes keeps the look monochromatic and the focus on the details of the dress. A soft pink flower headband is perfect for this doll baby look. ... On my big brother, you'll see him in a comfortable look of a striped long-sleeve polo and easy fit, distressed jeans.

Next up, summer at the beach. Bye Bye bunny, CC

So Minnie....

Today I'm deriving all my inspiration from one of my favorite fashion icons, Minnie Mouse. Show me a 1 year old girl who isn't fascinated by the cute and sweet Minnie, and I'll show you a pig that can actually fly. It must be her signature style of pink, polka dots and bows, oh my!

Starting with my adorable poppy pink tank dress, adorned with a silky white bow on the empire waistline, and white polka dots just screams "Disneyland here I come". Layered over a pair of slate gray leggings and under a smokey gray knit cardigan, keeps the look from getting too whimsical. A pair of dainty white ballet flats are a perfect match. Let's not forget the signature hair bow - mine is a bright pink and white flower clipped on a white headband. Too cute for words.

Paint the Town...

I'm back and I'm painting the town red! I've been on hiatus due to travels and packing. Yes, we are finally heading West soon, and I can already feel the sand on my toes and the sun on my face. Ahh! So before I go, I have some loose ends to tie up here, such as leaving my style mark on Ol' Milwaukee. As I always say, "go bold or go home."

For just this occasion, I picked out my most daring red ensemble. Who wouldn't shine in a cherry red long sleeve tee with sparkly bling on the front? I've paired it with my darling red knit leggings belled in frilly red tulle ankles. My velvet red ballet flats give just the perfect feminine touch. Let's not forget accessories - cream headband with a clip-on red bow brings it all together. I'm sure to be the shining star of the playgroup.

"I'm leavin, on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again." Bye for now, CC
