Mommy & Daughter OOTD - Casual Spring!

One of my favorite things about changing seasons is shopping for new seasonal pieces to add to my wardrobe. I've been wanting to make a couple of changes to my wardrobe anyway, so this was the perfect opportunity for that. My daughter is a full-blown toddler now, so my days of walking behind a stroller in high heels and a blazer are officially over. I need some casual outfits that I can wear while running after my little mischief. Those little legs can be fast I tell you!

Let's start off with Charlotte's little outfit. She is wearing a dark blue polo dress by Polo Ralph Lauren and some pink sneakers by Converse. She's grown into such a little tomgirl over the last couple of months. She loves to play soccer, run around and jump in muddy puddles. So I'm afraid we've outgrown the cute little bows and ballerina's fase... But that's okay. I think she's adorable no matter what she wears.

I'm wearing a new pair of 7/8 slim jeans by Esprit. I say 7/8, but on me they are actually a regular length, I am the size of a leprechaun apparently! And I'm also wearing a slouchy light pink longsleeve by Esprit. The fabric is very thin, so it's absolutely perfect for spring or summer. I just love shopping at Esprit, its definitely one of my favorite brands. The fit is amazing, the quality is very decent and I love how affordable their pieces are. The top was on sale and I ended up spending less than 20 bucks on it. Not bad I think!

As far as accessories go, I've kept it really basic and simple. I'm wearing my Phantom Mini Watch by Guess, rosé gold ear studs by Zinzi and a canvas spring summer 2015 tote which I got as a gift from my dear friends at Mulberry. I love how this canvas tote goes with the casual look of the entire outfit. Not something I would regularly wear, but it s great for hitting the farmers market or just as an extra shopping bag inside one of my other bags. You never know when it might come in handy.

And the sneakers...this is a really big step for me. I ve been a high heels kinda gal since I was 16, so wearing something like this will need some getting used to. The only pair of 'sneakers' I owned to this point were actually my running shoes... And not those cute pink nike's either. No, just big ol' white Asics that I got on sale last year... probably because of the fact that they are so incredibly ugly, haha! But I think these sneakers are kinda cute. They are also by Converse bu the way.

So there you have it, another mommy and daughter OOTD. It's been a while since I did one of these. So how about you? Do you have you spring collection all sorted out yet?

Mommy Weekend!

Well, that was it for our summer vacation. We're back to work and it's been so chilly and rainy here the last couple of days that it's starting to look a lot like fall already! But thanks to a friend of mine I had another fun weekend to look forward to. She booked a hotel for us as an early birthday present so we could go on a much deserved shopping trip! We had a blast! We went for coffee and wine, we went out to dinner and we set a pretty generous shopping budget for ourselfs. Just having fun without stressing over price tags so much. I could get used to that! Haha! But it was also my first weekend away from Charlotte. It was nice just focussing on myself for a change, but I did miss her like crazy. Everywhere I looked there seemed to be little curly blonde girls running around and it made me wish she was there with me. But that's beeing a mom I guess. Always wishing you had a little more time for yourself, but missing those little terrors when you actually do! Anyway, I thought I'd share some shots from my little shopping weekend and the cuteness I purchased. Now it's getting back to seriousness, hard work and saving money again. Wish me luck! :)

Delicious lunch!

Buys for me! A simple dusty pink top by Vila, a brown Ralph Lauren Ronnika cardigan and a Guess mini phantom watch with rose gold. 

Buys for baby! A pink coat for fall with cute little ears and a knitted scarf and gloves. All by baby Zara.

Well, that was it for today! Has your summer come to an end yet? Did you have a great time?

Kisses!

Dress for Less - Premium Outlet Shopping Haul!

Yes, we went shopping! I figured we deserved some retail therapy! I got some great deals, so I thought I'd share them with you. All items were purchased at the official factory outlet stores at a premium outlet centre. All for a fraction of the original price. If you love shopping just as much as I do, I dearly recommend checking out if there are any premium outlet centres in your area. Check http://www.premiumoutlets.com/ and http://www.mcarthurglen.com/ for a location near you. The closest one to my my home is actually a two hour drive away, but I still think It's worth to drive up there once or twice a year. Now you will find stuff that's from a previous season, but I don't mind personally. Alot of these brands carry basics that will never go out of style really. Besides, I have a one year old so I shop alot in advance anyway because she goes through sizes so quickly! She hardly ever wears clothes from this season's collection. But enough with the talking, here are our purchases! :)

For Charlotte

First item we got was this cute ralph lauren polodress for the summer! It's in a hot pink and I'll probably pair it with some yellow leggings, hot pink crocs and ofcourse some cute headband! It's a size 2-2t, and that is supposed to fit a 18 month old. I already had Charlotte try it on and it's still a bit long, but I'm sure it will fit perfectly once summer arrives! We got a great deal on this, it was 50% off!

Second item for Charlotte is this cute Tommy Hilfiger cardigan. It's a gorgeous pink and it has a gorgeous shiny silver thread woven into the fabric. I think this will look absolutely adorable paired with a some dark washed jeans and a navy t-shirt underneath. It's a size 2 years, so Charlotte won't be wearing it until next winter. And yet again, we got a great deal on this. It was also 50% off!

For Me

For myself I got this lovely soft pink wool cardigan by Guess. It has a lovely shiny thread and the buttons are to die for! So adorable! It's wool so it does feel a bit ticklish when on. I just have to get used to that I guess. Also a great deal, it was 70% off. 

The last item I got was this basic brown sweater by Tommy Hilfiger. I didn't really own sweaters to be honest, but I think this is going to be so cosy in and around the house and while playing with Charlotte. It's very basic so not difficult to pair at all, but I'll probably pair it with a some denim chino's, brown ballerina flats and my brown Burberry bag. I think this is going to be my go to outfit for the weekends! Oh, and I also got an amazing deal on this sweater, It was also 70% off!

And do you know how much I spend in total on all these items? Only 119,99! Haha! Love it! So, are you premium outlet shopping yet?

Kisses!
