Christmas Dresses for Little Girls

via Mini Boden

I love the clothing for little girls, especially all of the fun dresses. I still remember getting so excited to get a winter or Christmas dress, and I've carried that on to my daughter. 

We are on the hunt to find a darling dress... here are a few that I'm loving.

Love Next for dresses. These are just perfect!

Both of these lovelies are found at  JCrew

I'm dying over these darling dresses at GapKids.

I'm just getting started! How to decide? There are so many beautiful dresses for girls. 

Why don't they make these for women too?

 And what about these lovelies from Janie and Jack?
Love the plaid.

 

I know miss Ashy would adore this dress... she loves to twirl.

This dress, though a bit more formal than the others, is absolutely beautiful.

I'm still on the hunt...  I'll post more, if I find anymore that are note worthy.
Do any of you have any good sources?

White + Brown= A Summer Fave

I can remember when I was a little girl, my favorite outfit in the summer 

was white and brown with some white and brown stripes... 

I think it has always been a fave. 

I love the natural linen look mixed with a fresh, crisp white.  

It screams summer to me.  

I'm enjoying the trend and mix of white and natural brown in decorating. 

Of course, I'm always one for a pop of color!

ALWAYS

ahhh! Aren't those just lovely, refreshing, crisp, and summery?

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.

I'm not getting enough beach time.  Lots of fun time, but I think 

I need more beach. Doesn't everyone? ;)

My children go back to school in one week.  

CRAZY in know. We have year -round school where I live. 

There are pros and cons to it... that is a different topic. 

We need to take full advantage of this last week.

DIY Pillowcase Dress: Yes, I made it!

For those of you who know how much I DON'T SEW!  

You will be so impressed to know that I made this pillowcase dress, 

with the help of my mother of course...

We got the pattern and material at Lazy Daisy Cottage, 

a cute little shop in St. George, Utah, on a semi-recent girl weekend 

with my mom, aunts, and cousins.  

I also purchased zig-zag material for a skirt for myself that my cousin Amber 

taught me how to make.  I need to find the site with instructions and then I will post that.  

But until then, if you are interested in making a pillowcase dress  I found this site, that explains how to make them.  My mother is so proud of me... she is a wonderfully talented lady that sews quite a bit.  

She is always trying to get me to sew and I finally gave in to her pleas. 

I am so happy that I finally made a dress for my daughter! :)
