MOMMA LOVES… embroidered clothing

When I first saw this Zara embroidered jacket I fell instantly in love.

It’s completely inspired me for how I want to dress all season – a little homage to vacations in the Greek Islands as a child.

They transform even your most basic pieces like ripped denim into a super fabulous outfit.

Much like eyelet, embroidered clothing are the perfect pieces for spring/summer giving the perfect balance between pretty, feminine and bohemian. Delicate yet simple these pieces have been around forever and everywhere. These gorgeous embroidered clothing remind me of childhood vacations in the greek islands and connect with me in such a way that I simply cannot resist them. Whether a peasant blouse, dress or even a perfect light jacket these are the items that MAKE your look. Super easy to wear all season long, embroidered clothing do all the talking without ever being loud. Subtle yet gorgeous, whenever I wear these pieces I always get stopped and asked “where did you get that?” While part of me wants to say, oh on vacation years ago to keep my secret) I’m going share with you some of the most beautiful embroidered clothing you have to have now!

MOMMA WANTS… little white tees please!

A great little white tee can be simple or more detailed but the familiar silhouette never goes out of style.

Casual, comfortable yet contemporary – these are the perfect tops you’re always on the look out for.

Great little white tees, like great jeans aren’t just clothing – they’re a staple. Dress them up, dress them down – they never go away and we are always on the hunt for the perfect ones. These white tees are soft, well fitted and part of our daily uniform. Simply put, they’re a second skin. I’m not talking about our boyfriend’s tees or the ones you might find a tourist shop – these tops are sexy yet subtle, lived in yet fresh, and always effortless to throw on and go. The shirts aren’t going to change the world – they’re our basics, our necessities right after underwear… The fact is, we don’t have just one in our closets – these are the tops we might have in every color, or they might be tees for a night out and tees for a lazy Sundays on the couch, but the point is we can never get enough.

A great big slouchy bag like this Chanel one can not only fit all the ridiculous things we feel the need to have with us but it looks effortlessly chic as well!

They’re the perfect alternative to a diaper bag – you can pack them full of diapers, bottles, change of clothes, toys and yes, there is room for your stuff too! These slouchy bags give that ideal throw on and go feel – great with jeans or a little dress – they’re the perfect bag for blending fashion and function.

Gotta love kids summer clothes – obsessed with dressing the little ones like mini adults…

Now that it’s hot out and we need to worry more about bringing sunblock with rather than a jacket – its time to focus on outfits!

Honestly, kids summer clothes are by far my favorite – they adorable mini me style makes me long for a little girl, but don’t worry about me I’m having plenty of fun dressing up my little guy! From little summer dresses to shorts and tees the cuteness overload in in full effect. I just love seeing my little Max running around in his shorts and tanks like it makes sense – because it does and his little summer clothes wardrobe makes me insanely happy. They’ve got to stay cool and look cool in the heat, and even though most everything gets covered in mud, grass stains and popsicles – it’s totally worth it. Check out some of my favorite kids summer clothes because they are SO much cuter than ours…

First for our littles ones:
