When the day starts out feeling like fall, but ends up simmering like summer, it can be hard to plan an outfit.  Sometimes, the best option is a just a comfy t-shirt and jeans. 

Our belts from Princess and Butch are the perfect thing to pull a casual look together.  The buckles are interchangable, so start with your favorite and then pop in for a new one.

My seven year old starts planning her Halloween costume as soon as school starts.  Trouble is, the little trickster will go through at least five or six “must have” concepts by the time Halloween arrives.  From past experience, I have learned to wait just a smidge longer before whipping out my checkbook  for a custom-made Word Girl outfit, along with the matching Captain Huggy Face monkey costume for her little brother.

Lucky for me, some decisions will be a little easier, like these cute glow in the dark treat bags!  They are inexpensive, practical, and cute as can be.  Make sure you stop by and grab one before they are all gone.  And while you are here, be sure to check out our the rest of our wicked cool Halloween goodies.
