"We believe that vintage,

intertwined within themselves,

feeding off each others styles and inspirations,

it is the circle that keeps the fashion world going round."

PARKER UPDATE:

Parker loves to swim!!!!

And daddy takes him swimming almost everyday,

or at least 4 times a week.

He's kind of grown an obsession with water.

I predict he will be swimming by himself

within the next few months.

My husband started swimming

the stretch of an entire pool,

jumping off the high dive by the time

he was 2 years old. Uh oh!

I LOVE the Ocean &

my hubby is a die-hard surfer.

So we really hope our love for water

will be passed on to Parker.
 

We actually have an on going joke and

openly say that Parker is going to be the next

World Champ of the WCT

(World Championship Tour)

HAHA!

Did you know???

Kelly Slater is also an Aries, like little Parker

and his parents were also both Pisces

like my husband & I.

~ Here is a pic of my hubby at a surf contest~

 

EMBRACE THIS GORGEOUS

CALIFORNIA SUNDAY!

WE LIKE TO CALL IT,

FAMILY DAY!

LOVE ALWAYS,

Lindsay, MOMMA ME

Shopping for Fall Fashion vs. Onsies

So, ever since I had little Bubba I have not gone shopping. NOT ONCE!

 Every ounce of money we bring in goes to diapers, formula, cute little Run DMC Onsies, & basically anything I can dress my little pooping machine in.

(I found these cute plaid short, "surf rider" tank, & hoody by Koola)

Unfortunately, I have found myself just throwing on what ever is most 

 EASIEST comfortable to wear. Please see below, is this pathetic?

If you know me, you know I have the hereditary disease of a Shopaholic, thanks to my mother.

My sister also has this unfortunate problem too.

SEE... when we get paid, we find ourselves running to our closest favorite store

& begin to try on everything. 

My obsession began with shoes and jackets. But right now I'm stuck with the Bjorn.

But, now has grown to purses and cute vintage dresses.

SOOOOOO, whenever I have one of those moments...

where I want to shoot from the rooftop "I found the cutest pumps!"

I am just going to post links for all my readers 

& so I don't forget how to find it again because believe it or not?

I still have pregnancy brain, but I think that's from my mother too?

My Predictions for Fall: What is more PERFECT then a new coat and a leather clutch?

My favorite fashion blog, http://www.refinery29.com/ is featuring my 2 favs

Peep TenOverSix's Perfect Fall Line

By: Kate Mulling

Keywords:

• Fall Fashion
 
• , Indie Designers

Kristen Lee and Brady Cunningham's entire fall line. The camel Tommy coat is the dreamiest Fashion Week coat ever—unfussy, simple, makes just a loud enough statement to get you snapped by all the right fashion photogs, and just pair it with a little Bodkin T-shirt and you'll have your SoCal winter uniform in the bag. And because this retail haven is known for their adorable clutches, it makes sense that we spend a good 20 minutes drooling over their new handbag collection. The supple fall leather clutches come complete with super-long and lovely fringe to add just enough drama and movement to your evening look. Plus they're debuting a leather backpack that has a detachable compartment to stash a pair of ballet flats and it even morphs into a great evening satchel. Trust us, we'll be getting cozy with this killer fall line, and we recommend you hop on the waitlist before it's too late.

AND for our LA Fashion Mommas: 

remember this week is 

Bah... DA.... DA

I AM HOPING TO GET MY SISTER TO SNEAK AWAY WITH ME THIS WEEKEND. 

So, I pray hope that I am able to get back my shopping agenda.

HOPEFULLY I will be able to buy those cute royal blue strappy heels I stare at,

OR the cute new vintage sun dress I cut out of magazines,

but for now I am going to do my best with what I've got.

I'm a Momma on a Budget.

So, I hope I help others with these cute finds. AND I'm going to be 

SOOOOOOOO

jealous if anyone goes out and buys the camel Tomy Coat or the black fringe leather clutch. 

J/k!!!!  I will be so excited bc hopefully I can borrow.

Until then all I want to do is spoil my lil man.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
