adventures in pinksugarland

hey canada — online shopping at zara has (finally) opened today! it’s a pretty much a guarantee that either lila or cole (usually both) has at least one thing from zara on every day so i’ve been waiting for this day for what seems like forever. here are some of my favourites (including a few items that already reside in the kids’ closets, along with a couple of new additions this morning).

vest . swim trunks . knit hat

floral sweatshirt . vest . lace dress

coloured jeans . denim shirt . desert boot

shorts . jumpsuit . crochet blucher

they even have a mini section for the teeniest of shoppers. i think i’ve found a new go to shop for baby gifts!

dress . teeny denim . knit romper

happy shopping!

buy a cute shirt. support a good cause.
i meant to post this on monday when the sale began, but the week got away from me. today is the last day to take part in on this awesome collaboration from hello apparel and ps. i adore you. act fast!

on a related note, i get a lot of requests for kids’ style posts but i’m unsure what you all are most interested in seeing. if this is something that is of interest to you, can you let me know what you’d like to see? (where we shop? what we’re buying? putting outfits together? etc.) thank you!

some heart-adorned goodies for girls and boys :)

1. sweater . 2. eye patch . 3. tattoos . 4. swimsuit
5. onesie . 6. bow tie . 7. locket 8. bracelet . 9. one piece

hug someone you love today :)

it’s monday, it’s fall, and it’s been far too long since the last giveaway, so let’s just get to it!

you may have noticed the ridiculously cute neckwear my kiddos were sporting yesterday… irina from purl lamb was kind enough to send a couple of custom cowls (cole’s is bandana style — so awesome!) for us this fall and is giving one away to a lucky reader as well!

two ways to enter:
first, head over and like the purl lamb facebook page (and leave a comment here letting me know you’ve done so).
second, leave another comment below telling me something (anything!) you are looking forward to this fall.
easy!

contest closes friday october 19.

big thanks to purl lamb for the generosity (and mad knitting skills). good luck!

congratulations jennifer!

’tis the season for summer weddings — i love me a dapper little dude.

we’re a wee bit smitten with all things thief & bandit these days (as seen here and here and as soon as order number two arrives, will be seen adorning my neck and wrist as well!) so i’m more than a little bit excited to announce that thief & bandit kids are giving away one of their ridiculously cute string headbands to one of you! yay!

to enter, leave a comment below letting me know a favourite item from either the kids’ or adults’ shop. and for an extra entry, comment again sharing something you’re excited to do this summer (or winter if you’re on the other side of the world) with your family!

contest closes friday june 1.

good luck, and thanks to thief & bandit for designing such awesome stuff!

you can only buy so many before eyebrows start getting raised — it was time the sewing machine and i joined the battle against wet onesies.
