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!

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
