kidlark favs :: cotton on

While visiting one of my local malls a few months back, I saw that they were opening a new kids store called Cotton On Kids, and it looked like something I would LOVE. I did a little research and found out that Cotton On Kids is an Australian based company. If you follow party & design blogs, then you already know that those Australians have some fabulous taste. Anyway, the store finally opened and I went for the first time this week. I fell head over heels for this place. Not only were the clothes darling, but the prices were very reasonable too. Think crewcuts style with gapkids price range and quality (side note: every shirt my daughter owns from crewcuts, has holes in it. LAME!) The website does not even come close to doing the store justice. I was especially happy to find cute BOY clothes for my 5 year old because that is always a challenge. If you live in South Orange County, run over to The Spectrum and hit up Cotton On Kids because the entire store is 30% off, but only through the end of January. I promise, it's worth it.

fun find :: maxi skirts

I am LOVING all of the maxi skirts that are out right now. They are perfect for my prego body, and I especially love that they will fit comfortably even after I have my baby. They are definitely forgiving and comfy. I got this stripe one from Anthropologie that I love and I wanted this solid one. So when I found a similar solid one at Old Navy for a fraction of the price, I thought it was too good to be true. I bought it in both colors, and I am in LOVE. Obviously not as stylish as the Anthro one, but definitely a very close second and you can't beat the $25 pricetag.

A little while ago, I stumbled upon the blog Atlantic-Pacific. It is a daily log of outfits. Not only are the outfits amazing, but I love love love her hairstyles. It's a great place to look for inspiration when you feel like your wardrobe is blah. After I looked through all of the posts, I felt like I could go into my closet and put together similar outfits. Obviously with my prego belly, it's a little more difficult but it gets me excited to lose this baby weight!

DIY :: custom painted celine pouch

I stumbled upon this DIY for a custom painted Celine pouch. How genius is this? I love the splash of neon that she used. You can find a similar pouch at American Apparel in a few different sizes, and many different colors. I think the medium size pouch is perfect! I like this idea to keep my personal items in and then I can just take it in and out of my diaper bag.
