cute huh?

:: a cute spring outfit ::

This morning we decided to take a trip into the city to visit our favourite coffee shop with boys. I felt the need to get out of my 'mum uniform' & dress up to greet the beautiful spring weather. I slipped into the super cute dress my friend Becci talked me into buying on our trip to Melbourne in March, added some boots & a cardi & voila. I am not much of a fashionista but on the days I do like to dress up, I want to get it right. I even attempted to style my hair, thanks to this grand post from 'A Cup of Jo'. I suprised my socks off (not really cause I was already wearing boots :) ) because it actually worked & looked very cute. 

It's amazing (& maybe a little shallow?) how much a great outfit can lift your spirits. Any thoughts to add or maybe a picture of your own Mother's Day dress up fun...

:: seriously cool shoes ::

I have a confession to make... I am coveting my 3 year old sons new shoes. Ever since I was 16 year old fire twirler I have wanted a pair of Converse flame shoes & now we have a pair... unfortunately they are in the wrong size 8. Little boy size 8, not women's size 8. Oh well, I will stick with my black & white pair & just live vicariously through Jamin. I think they may just look better on him anyway.

My favourite part of the morning was when I was taking them off & I asked if they felt good to wear while we were out. Jamin looked at me with a cheeky smile & said "Well... they were a bit hot... cause they have fire on them." My boy just made a joke & it was actually funny! So proud!

Now I do have a request to make... I have Jamin in a new pair of size 4 Gap jeans that fit quite well except they are extremely long. As you can see in the photos above I have gone with the option of folding them up into big cuffs. Cutting & hemming isn't an option because he is a growing 3 year old & will no doubt need the length sooner rather than later. So does the folding look ok or do the kids fashion gurus reading have any other suggestions? This one has me a little perplexed.

Kael has just grown into a beautiful light jumper that Jamin was still wearing when we arrived a year ago & I do believe that he looks gorgeous in it. 

My two little men are growing up fast. Loving it!
