Every time Lilly wears this Old Navy sweater jacket I call her Chanel. It totally reminds me of Jackie O in Chanel and Lilly loves the nickname.

Old Navy’s Black Friday sale launched early and they’re offering 30% off of everything. Such a great time to stock up on some warm clothes and gifts. Here are a few more kid favorites!

It has happened. Lilly and I officially have matching handbags. Our friends at Kate Spade sent them to us last week, making Lilly’s 5th birthday even sweeter. I have the Cedar Street tote and Lilly has the mini Cedar.

Lilly’s wearing the cutest little bow wool coat. It has a nice little flare to it that is so feminine.

And her glitter slip on sneakers. I want to steal these shoes from her feet they’re so adorable. They come in four different glitter color options and I’m thinking there will need to be more under the tree this year in the next size up.

Yes, my coat is Old Navy! Their current outerwear collection is great. Also, I have my sweater in 3 different colors I love it so much, and it’s currently 30% off. In fact, many of what we’re wearing is on sale. ‘Tis the season.

 

PS, it’s hard to see but I’m wearing a necklace from Bauble Bar’s new holiday collection. Have you checked it out yet? Really, really cute stuff.

Lilly and I took a trip to A Very Little Bookstore in Summerville over the weekend. It’s one of the cutest little spots and has an excellent curated collection of children’s stories.

Lilly’ wearing TOMS. They’re more than just a pair of shoes because they give back for every pair purchased. Last week I mentioned that TOMS was releasing a collection for Target and that collection is now available! For every TOMS for Target limited edition gift purchased, Target is giving shoes, a blanket, or meals to those in need.

Okay. So you know how each year J.Crew puts out the bomb gift guide. Well it’s up again. And it’s amazing. So I chose some of my favorites because you can take 25% off your purchase at J.Crew right now and I felt like I had to. And yes, this took as much time as it looks like it took. By the way stuff is already selling out. Crazy! But do you remember how ridiculous it was come December last year when everything you wanted in the size you needed to get it in was already sold out? Not this year, not happening to me again.

So my mind has been on toys lately with Lilly’s birthday earlier this week, Fletcher’s birthday coming up in 2 weeks, and Christmas right around the corner. I have a few years under my belt now as a mom (5!), and it’s easier for me now to predict what my kids would really enjoy and what would only keep their attention for a few minutes. For instance, Lilly spends a lot of time every day working on art projects. Her favorite materials include crayons, markers, and tape. Yes, tape. You know, the fun washi kind that we like, too! She puts it on many of the pictures that she draws and then hangs her artwork with it all over our home. She uses it as bandages on her dolls. She even makes jewelry with it. So with that in mind I know that this Tape Caddy (60 rolls!) or this Tape Party Kit would be a smart gift choice. I found them both in Nordstrom’s Toy Shop. They’ve put together a kid oriented collection of toys that has anything from Frozen items to riders. There are 10 pages worth of ideas over there. Here are a few of my favorites.

We gave one of those air powered soccer disks to my little brother a year or so ago and they’re really cool! And that night vision set… I kind of want that for myself. I’m intrigued. We have jellycat dolls at our house and they are so soft. A good idea for any stuffed animal lover. Also, I’ve seen a lot of ugly karaoke machines in my day (and I was an AVID Singing Machine girl growing up), but this one is worthy of the prettiest playroom.

 

More ideas…

IT’S HERE!! Seems like forever ago we were hearing whispers about a rumored Kate Spade & Jack Spade + Gap collaboration. I stalked websites,  I googled… anything to get a peek. And as of today the collection is now available. As expected, it’s pretty adorable!

The whole collection is totally wearable and fun. So much so that Lilly insisted upon wearing this dress to school the next day. I didn’t argue.

Soooo… Fletcher’s hair. He cut it. CHOPPED it. Himself. The night before our family shoot. You can imagine my angst. I know, I know. It’s just hair and it grows back. No biggie. But it still broke my heart a little.

These things that Lilly and Fletcher are wearing are just a few of the cute pieces from the collection. There are so many adorable things like this coat for boys, and this coat for girls. And this fun shirt for boys and this skirt!! The collection launches this morning! Shop it all right here.
