Catimini Clothing

While on a much needed girl-trip to California  a few months back, my friends and I came across a darling French line for Children, Catimini.  While I loved the boys clothing, I was extra obsessed with the girl clothing (of course)!  These are just a few samples of the adorable line.  Oh, how I wish it were more affordable because my Ashy girl would look so darling in these outfits.  Regardless, they are still fun to admire.  From what the girl at the store was saying, we are limited in the USA on the Catimini clothes, but Europe, specifically France, has quite the selection. Darling, no?

American In Paris

How adorable is this Paris themed line from the Gap? I have a serious weakness when it comes to buying clothes for my sweet Ashy. I would love every outfit in this line... but, I think this will just be used as an outfit-idea inspiration board for now.  Ashy is already starting to dream about going to Paris.  The boys in our family are talking of a "someday" trip to Alaska.  Well boys, you go-for-it! My girl and I will have a nice little "someday" trip to Paris then! I can't wait to take her there. Can't wait.

Side Story:
I remember being little and being obsessed with the idea of going to Paris. I took junior high french, chose the French name Francoise, hung Paris posters, wore Paris perfume, and even wore barrettes (I have a tragic 6th grade picture to prove that), did reports on France whenever I could, and perfected Crepes.  I even did a big report/acting thing in Humanities on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (my friend was Henri and I was one of his Can-Can girls. For reals!) I saved money, dreamed big and planned on the "someday" trip.  Then, it all became possible.  My first "dream" to actually realize. After studying in Jerusalem for a bit, a group of us extended our layovers in France.  One of the guys in our group had served an LDS mission in Paris and had a family he knew that we could stay with.  So we got the full Parisian experience.  We stayed in a Parisian apartment with a Parisian family and had a guy with us that could completely communicate with everyone. Plus, he already knew the city like the back of his hand. Needless to say, my first experience in France was a.m.a.z.i.n.g! I can't wait to go back... "someday!" I still remember sitting by Notre Dame surrounded by pigeons, savoring a tasty raspberry tart...

The earrings and necklace are both found on my Stella & Dot site.

A fun stripe inspired outfit for this rainy spring.  I feel bad for my flowers and garden
that I just planted last weekend...right before a snow storm.  Boo!  

Organizer for scarves & belts

I love this organizer that I picked up a few months ago from Ikea!

It is perfect for belts and scarves.

 I would love to add this scarf to my little collection.  

I think a little bright pink paisley would be fun for spring.
