Fashion Friday: Celebration!

Posted on May 11, 2012 by ash

It’s Fashion Friday!

We are all dressed up for my little sister’s graduation!  Master’s that is.  They had the graduation in downtown Phoenix and then we went and celebrated later a Gallo Blanco.

I’m wearing a blue and white striped top I bought at forever 21, a black sequin pencil skirt, sandals, and Jeannie Richard band ring and earrings  (the one’s in our giveaway!).  The band ring and earrings are made out of beads and are super fun for dressing up.  They are all black, except the earrings have some gold beads in them.  They are a nice addition to any outfit, not just a semi-dressy one. (If you like them go and buy a pair at Jeannie Richard because they’re having a Post-FAB 25% sale till May 31, code POSTFAB25 at checkout).

On Jax, black gap pants, and blue babies-r-us polo he got from his auntie (the one I mentioned about the graduation and celebration at Gallo Blanco) the four above pics were taken at Gallo Blanco, out back in their pool area.  It’s a very retro, older style hotel.  The food is this amazing, fresh southwestern style food.  I would love to go back and stay there some time or take more pictures!  In their pool area they have a waterfall glass wall that runs almost the length of the pool area.  It’s really beautiful.

Don’t forget to enter our mother’s day giveaway for a chance to win all of our mother’s day’s goodies, plus these ones that I’m wearing in the pictures!

Hope you all have an amazing mother’s day!  I know I will no matter what it is as long as it involves my son!

ENJOY! ash

Featured Etsy Shop: Teesies

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Meg

Remember the awesome onesie that Jax was wearing last Friday from Teesies?

"What would Elmo do?" onesie from Teesies

Don’t miss a chance to win it in our Vintage Sesame Street Giveaway (along with lots of other goodies)! But that’s not really why we’re writing this post . . . we wanted to share even more fabulous Teesies onesies with you all (since Libby has so many clever ones it wasn’t really hard to find some that we truly LOVE).

I just couldn’t resist sharing these funny and vintage style Dubble Trubble baby onesies for twins (especially since Ash and I are twins!):

Teesies shop announcement reads, “If childhood is full of giggles, grins and inside jokes…shouldn’t parenthood be too? ” And Libby bases all of her onesies and t-shirts off of this statement, adding little humorous touches throughout her entire baby clothing line.  We were grinning ear-to-ear reading through some of these clever shirts (and picturing babies in them).

I think this Fragile: Handle with Care is so stinking cute that I may have to get it if I have a second kid:

I think Jax would be so cute in this RAWR shirt.  Plus I adore the “rawr means I love you in dinosaur” explanation at the bottom:

And last but not least, for all those recyclers, green living, and certified organic fiends  out there:

100% Certified Organic onesie from Teesies - too cute!

Also, the look on the little kiddos face in this last one is absolutely classic.

If you want to learn more about Teesies creations and personal style, go to her blog or follow her facebook!

P.S. if you grownups are dying to have an adult version of “What would Elmo do?” Libby has that too, here!

FASHION FRIDAY (mommy & me): Ash & Jax Roosevelt Murals

Posted on April 20, 2012 by ash

It’s FASHION FRIDAY!

PART II Of Roosevelt Murals

&

SPONSOR LOVE

We headed back down to Roosevelt to take some more shots with the murals down in that area.  Since it’s one of the art districts in Phoenix, the murals come and go before you know it sometimes.  So you really have to catch them quick.  I absolutely love this southwestern inspired one, which I felt would be perfect for some southwestern inspired accessories.

I just go these earrings from one of our sponsors!  Persophone’s Place!  I absolutely love them.  They are supper long and beaded.  They go with just about everything I own . . . I have fairly simple outfits and when you have such a cool pair of statement piece earrings, sometimes it’s great to tone down the other parts of your outfit (in my opinion).  She’s has shorter versions if you prefer!

Unfortunately, I rarely get to wear them right now . . . Jax LOVES it when I wear dangly earrings.  And my ears LOVE it when he pulls them too (insert dripping sarcasm here)!  I get to wear them at least once a week when I’m working and he’s hanging out with his dad on his day off.

This dinosaur mural is across the way from the southwestern one.  Its so cute!  Feels really funky and I believe it’s spray painted on.

By this time, jax was starting to loose it and get super squirmy.  He wants to be off running around (although he hasn’t quite figured out the walking/running part, but he can sure book it in a crawl).

I’m wearing forever21 top and tank (man – forever21 is SO affordable, $5 tank tops), H&M pants, Target ballet flats in a cool bright colored southwestern pattern, thrifted jewelry, and you can get my fantastic earring here – at Persephone’s Place.

on jax: thrifted Jack & Jill gray linen shorts, and thrifted vintage yellow polo shirt.

hope you enjoyed Fashion Friday!  check out the cool murals around Phoenix when your in town.

have a great weekend! ash
