I don’t have a little girl, but hopefully I will someday! It certainly doesn’t keep me from eyeing what adorable little dressings are available for the little ladies. A while ago Mrs. Makeup mentioned that fall fashion belonged to little dudes while summer goes to the ladies. I can’t help but agree! Summer dresses, rompers, [...]

Dressing J for fall and winter was easy-peasy and crazy fun. I have a small collection of cardigans from H&M, sweaters from Gap, jeans from The Childrens Place and more.
