{nursery inspiration} red letter

Posted on January 30, 2012 by cara

It’s easy to be overwhelmed when choosing colors for your nursery. Rather than second guessing your choices or falling back on a tried & true (but perhaps somewhat over-done) combo, take your color palette to perfection focusing on one fabulous hue.

This week it’s all about the effects of a monochromatic color scheme with each color of the rainbow starting with today’s red room inspiration. The best part? Excluding the chair (which is a bit of a splurge) these elements total for under $600!

Get the look:

Curtains – Urban Outfitters, $20 (color currently unavailable). Mobile – Flensted Mobile Shoal of Fish, $49. Art – IKEA, $40. Crib – IKEA, $99. Bedding – Sprinkles 4 Piece Crib Bedding Set, $150. Rug – CB2, $199. Chair – Eero Aarnio Ball Chair (replica), $699

{lines we love} aden + anais

Posted on January 20, 2012 by cara

I’m always on the lookout for {lines we love} to rave about and when it comes to swaddling blankets, Aden + Anais is an easy stand-out!

They offer both 100% cotton  as well as bamboo muslin (pictured left) as material options and the range of fabulous designs will most definitely appeal to your aesthetic sensibilities.

Not only are they lightweight, soft & durable but the large size allows for easy use as baby grows. In addition, they make great impromptu nursing covers, to shade the stroller, or as receiving blankets.

NOW through 1/31/2012 SAVE 15% on Aden + Anais from Layla Grace. Simply click the Layla Grace link on the right side of the page and enter in COUPON CODE: ADEN15!

{timi & leslie} it’s in the bag, baby!

Posted on January 17, 2012 by cara

The other day while searching for fabulous diaper bags to feature in this week’s edition of “it’s in the bag, baby!”, I remembered a to-die-for mustard colored bag one of my girlfriends recieved at her shower last Spring (pictured middle row, left). In researching some of the fab features of the ‘Charlie’ bag by Timi & Leslie I knew I couldn’t limit this post to the usual two featured bags so instead I’ve brought you 9 of my favorites!

Inspired by vintage handbags that span the decades of the 20th century, Timi & Leslie offer fashionable, original & functional bags in high quality materials and finishes. My favorite thing about these baby bags? Their high style quotient makes for a bag any girl would be happy to carry, baby or not! Most styles available in several colors.

Top Row (L to R): Marie Antoinette II, $169.99 (a perfect combination of Miu Miu meets Marc Jacobs). Michelle, $59.99 (sale!). Caitlin, $139.35. 

Middle Row (L to R): Charlie II, $159.99. Baby Jane, $154.99. Mandy Quick Trip, $89.99.

Bottom Row (L to R): Hayley Fold Over Tote, $169.99. Marilyn, $169.99. Charlie II, $159.99.
