The Art of Darling

{Beach Babes}

I'm dreaming of summer. Literally fantasizing (could have to do with the fact we're going on vacation). One of many reasons, but probably the main reason I am so looking forward to summer is that it will be my daughter's first summer, first swim, etc. I am a lover of teeny weeny clothing, but more specifically teen weeny accessories adults wear. Like hats and sunglasses.

Picked this suit up at Target for A's first splashy summer last week and waiting for a sale on this adorable hat to keep the sun off her head and out of her eyes.

And if a baby needed more than one bathing suit, she would be rocking this darling one as well....

Is there anything cuter than a little chubby-wub in a swimsuit? Wishing these came in my size...

{Olio Obsession}

I could decorate and dream about nurseries all day long, and often have to stop myself from doing so because that naturally leads me to daydreaming about another baby. Sigh.

Creating a relaxing and wonderful environment for momma and infant is my idea of a good time. I had the best time doing so for my own, and can't wait to do it again! In the meantime, I enjoy finding and cataloging these amazing mood boards and design concepts for future inspiration. Here are a few of my favorites I found through none other than Pinterest...

And let it be known that I'm in love with Lay Baby Lay. Definitely a go to for any mommy thinking about her nursery...

And thanks to Olio, I can now create my own mood boards with my own ideas. It's so useful for keeping one on track and solidifying the direction or feel of a room (or for general enjoyment purposes).

Here is my first Olio...

1. I drew the inspiration for the room from this It Was Always You Print by AshleyG on Etsy.
2. Capiz Shell Chandelier, Layla Grace
3. Traditions Slub Texture Yellow/White Print fabric by Premier Prints, fabric.com
4. Linda Bennett Indiana Gothic House Cross Stich, The Pampered Sticher via Etsy.
5. Luxe Wing Chair, Crate & Barrell
6. Bloom- Alma Pap Crib, 2Modern
7. Frontier Collection Wool Rug in Red Ivory, Burke Decor LLC
8. August's Humid Decline Painting, Caroline Wright Art
9. Nurseryworks- Canterbury Changing Table, 2 Modern

Where, oh where were Olio and Pinterest when I was planning Little Miss A's nursery?

{Big & Little: Rainbow Denim}

I currently have my eye on a pair of pink Cookie Johnson jeggings, so when I was cruising on Zara.com for ideas for my babe, their pink baby trousers stood out to me and inspired my first {Big & Little} post:

Elle Magazine

Colored denim is a huge trend this season, and not just for the big girls! Zara, Old Navy, and Gap, among others, are all carrying rainbow jegs for the little ones....

Zara.com

Maybe the little darling and I will get a matching pair...

{Baby and Friends}

I love ideas for photos, and I'm currently loving the staged baby and friends photos. I mean, is there anything cuter?

I don't think so...

{Sister Love}

I have a sister. A little sister, although we mostly feel like we're the same age. We live exactly four hours apart, and I miss her everyday. We are only a year apart in age, and as little girls we had a lot of fun together (still do). I would do anything for her and am so thankful she is in my life. I'm also thankful our mother spent so much sweat and tears trying to help foster a healthy relationship between us.

All of these sister pics bring back a lot of great memories...
