URBAN SAFARI


COSMOPOLITAN SAFARI


Ooooh I love a jumper and this drab green lightweight cotton is ideal for a drive in the bush o, ummm, and a stroll to school on an Africa Hot Day.  Oh Stella Stella Stella (McCartney) we salute you....Scout topped it off with a map print silk scarf,I think I picked up in Santorini with Cecelia many moons ago whilst in Greece for the Olympics...Always Recessionista to bring out the oldie but goodies.  Scout has on her birthday bronze sparkly Bloch ballet flats -- I paid slightly less for this pair on Zappos.com.  Now if only we could find the Big Five on our jaunt to school.

A GREAT PAIR OF JACKIE O's ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND




Well, as every hard-playing, fashionista knows there simply isn't anything better than a pair of Jackie O sunglasses to mask a whole host of beauty woes, be they imagined or real.  In Scout's case, the hard playing last night at the playground, may explain the "morning" eyes...

...her adorbs zebra print cardi is crewcuts, the pearls are from Sara Rodriguez, the pony tail band is organic from the shop near Cecelia's house and the dress has no tags but it is divine and i got it at Goodwill. The crochet leggings are Stella McCartney for the GAP. the shoes ? ol' steady bloch's that made me cringe, when I paid for them, but honestly we have completely gotten our money's worth.  She wears them virtually everyday and tears around in them, even uses them as her scooter brake, and by God, they have held up.

MAY SHOWERS


RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

love a cute rain bucket hat particularly in burberry-esque nova check. We got this one for a song outta of our beloved bins.
cant go wrong emulating the brits on gray rainy days.
scout has on her black and white h&m tweed shorts over her black and white polka dot tic tac toe tights, black and white check satin blouse, black and white Ann Taylor zebra stripe silk scarf, her Zara red trench and her black Hunter wellies. What's black and white and red all over? The perfect outfit for mommy read time at school of Scout's favorite Brit read, The Gruffalo, tea time anyone?
