Back to School Shopping Picks

Summer is just about over and I'm starting to think about back-to-school. I'm a sucker for getting all geared up for school in September. It's in my DNA.

Leah is going into 7th grade, so her look is transitional girl-to-tween wear. Luckily, she's not into "trendy" or belly-bearing fashions. And just wants to "not look like a baby." Alice is going into 4th and is similarly modest, but loves fashionable looks.

So, here are a few of my favorite picks from the stores I'm shopping ...

Boden
From my favorite shop for the girls (the clothes are cute and high-quality) I found this adorable rainbow patchwork tee (see it here)

And these roller skate leggings (see them here), for the win! 


I'm also really into these tunic-dress-sweaters in jersey and fun prints. They're great for the girls to throw-on with leggings (short or long) or tights. (See it here.)




Old Navy
My other staple is Old Navy. They do great basics and though I won't be able to stock up (without international shipping) here in Paris, I may swing by when we're in the States for Christmas and fill any holes in their wardrobes.

I love my girls in jeans, regardless if they like them or not. And Old Navy has really stretchy fits (see these here).


And I'm all about yellow this year, so this girl power sweater is right in my wheelhouse.




Cyrillus
Speaking of Paris, no one dresses their children better than the French -- their outfits are usually better put together than mine! Cyrillus is one of my favorite shops here, for me and for the girls.

This season, I found this navy sweater (find it here),



... with this cute matching skirt (see it here)



And Cyrillus also carries Liberty of London prints, which I love! (See it here.)


See what I mean about great kids' clothes?

And if you want to dress like a European, you need ...

A Levis shirt (find it here). Why, you ask? We have no idea but we see them just about everywhere and on just about everyone.


And you'll also need a pair of Stan Smith sneakers, in bright white. They're popular with kids and adults! Get them from Amazon here. 

I love doing my online shopping for this Fall season and sharing my picks.
Happy shopping!

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
