Mandy Moore is Stylin' in Plaid: Oprah Magazine

It was fun to see Mandy Moore back in the spotlight and in Oprah Magazine.

I really liked the photo styling and photography that was done with this photo shoot,

and the clothes...Well, I'm always lovin' plaid.

I love these over-the-knee wellies with heels.

oh-so-chic!

Orange and camel are always a fave, especially in the fall.

I didn't realize that Mandy Moore was the voice in the new Disney movie Tangled.

My kids have been excited to see the new movie, especially my daughter.

Now that I know Mandy Moore is involved, I'll be more excited to take them.

At least the soundtrack should be good, right!

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?

French Breton Striped Shirt

Found this fantastic mosaic post over on Completely Coastal!

I've always been a fan of the blue-and-white striped sailor shirt.

Coco Chanel is given credit for introducing the old Brenton styled French sailor shirt to
the fashion world in 1917...

It is amazing how long this look has persisted in the fashion world,

and JCrew has adopted it whole-heartedly!

Still lovin' this Stripe Sequin Boatneck shirt from JCrew.

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...
