INSPIRING THE ITSY BITSY AND THOSE THAT LOVE THEM
Style, clothing + inspiration for the itsy bitsy!
We follow a lot of fellow bloggers and stylists - that’s one of our favorite parts about being a blogger! Arielle Charnas of Something Navy had us at hello when we recently watched her launch her very own collection for Nordstrom. Since, we’ve been marking our calendars for new collection launch dates and today she has launched her December pieces! Head over to SOMETHING NAVY or the SOMETHING NAVY BOUTIQUE for NORDSTROM now to snag your looks.
Read MoreOur Motivation Monday post is hoping to inspire you for any hosting you will be doing on Christmas Eve. We got this idea from a favorite blogger, Julie of Swiss Family Gallagher, and have had it tabbed away for about a year in hopes we would get to host Christmas Eve. Well, this year the holiday is ours and we couldn’t be more excited about our table decor ideas. This super cute theme is easy, classic and so fun for the kids. The energy on Christmas Eve is one of my favorite parts of this holiday, so to expand on that only seems like the most natural thing to do! Our adult table decor is equally as easy and creates a simple elegance for adults to enjoy. Here’s the breakdown for you:
Read More‘Tis the Season! What we love most about the holiday season is the little sprinklings throughout - baking gingerbread cookies and houses, decorating the tree, Elf on the Shelf shannagins, our girls decorating their mini trees for their rooms. We have a soft spot for a hand-written, snail-mailed letter as we shared in our Snail Mail post last March. So it is only fitting that we share this great little “Santa Writes Back Kit” creation by none other than Mr. Boddington’s Studio. There is still time (up until Dec. 15th!) to participate in this sweet idea. Something that can become a new tradition while keeping the old traditions alive.
Read MoreWe decided a while ago we want to gift the girls useful, simple presents this Holiday season. We have just spent almost 2 years of our lives packing, moving, sorting, moving again, purging, renovating, moving some more, renovating some more, purging, renovating. You get the idea. Through this we’ve realized that we have too much “stuff” and the burden of holding on to it seems ridiculous. Since we are about to embark on installing our family room area carpet (fingers crossed before Christmas!) we thought bean bags would be such a great addition to the room that we hang out in the most. So, the search began for the right bean bags.
Read MoreWe came across this lovely little brand while shopping around SoHo in NYC. Since, we’ve been buying and personalizing their tote bags for just about everything from our daughters’ ballet bags to “congrats, you got a new puppy!” gifts to college grad gifts! What fun we’ve had. And they are practical and simple as can be.
Here are some we’ve gifted:
Read MoreExciting business. Getting the best photo when your munchkin meets Santa Claus is so fun. You want them to have a sweet outfit! Let’s face it - some of these photos are 100% Holiday card worthy! So, Bitsy has been shopping and we’ve picked out adorable outfits for your little ones so your photographs are frame-able. These outfits carry over as great Holiday outfits (day-of) as well!
Read MoreWe’ve been following the linen doll craze for some time now and have loved every minute of it. But it wasn’t until just recently that we came across a linen doll (+ dollhouse!) maker that really won our hearts. Let’s put it to you this way - if Bitsy were to be a doll, this is how it would look and dress!
Read MoreOne of our favorite purchases of the year - our Christmas jammies! Here are some of the options we are considering for our little ones comfort + cuteness on Christmas morning!
Read MoreWe’ve recently started reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone with Lucy and Greer. It has been such a fun family experience to say the least. We snagged this illustrated copy of the book [ HARRY POTTER & THE SORCERER’S STONE ] from our local library in order to also engage Greer (age 4) and it has been such a special reading journey!
Read MoreIt’s not a secret that our reno has been very challenging. But as we start to live in the fruits of our labor, there are pieces of the process that have changed me in such a positive way. These engineer prints that I posted on Instagram in the beginning stages of our renovation (moving day!) are one of those pieces.
Read MoreRecently we posted on Instagram about the beautiful dollhouses created by Jackie Anderson of Sawdust Angel. Her recent stunning collab with one of our favorites, Hygge and West, to create tiny versions of real-life, decorated spaces in the dollhouse realm for their new book HYGGE & WEST HOME: DESIGN FOR A COZY LIFE completely inspired us. So we are sharing our dollhouse!
Read MoreYes, it’s that time of year again. Get ahead of the game and excited to make things easy on yourself by sorting through Bitsy’s Holiday Gift Guide below. Our favorite gifts this year are….
Read MoreThis year Lucy and Greer picked their Halloween costumes on their own and truthfully at separate times (seriously, last spring!). Lucy told me she was thinking Little Red Riding Hood and Greer told me she was thinking Goldilocks
Read MoreThe colder weather sets in and my body automatically starts craving yummy-ness. We love to bake in our house, so it is usually a baked good that our bodies beg us to feed them! Greer and I made one of our favorite go-to recipes yesterday - Healthy Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins from one of our favorite bloggers, Ambitious Kitchen.
Read MoreIn honor of International Day of the Girl we’re sharing an incredible new book (officially available for purchase on November 6th - pre-order details below!). Leah Tinari is an artist with extroadinary talent. Her artwork is inspiring in-and-of itself, but when you partner it with a book to empower girls and women, it truly becomes electric.
Read MoreGreer’s 4th birthday was a few weeks ago - it came and went and I just can’t believe she is 4! Since we were so busy baking rainbow cakes and getting ready for our trip to AZ, we never had a chance to share her silhouette. Greer requested a carnival theme and currently her favorite color is purple (much to mama’s dismay), so here it is!
Read MoreScamp + Dude is a brand we recently came across when hunting for cute sweatshirts for mama. Total bonus, they have a children’s collection as well! It is too awesome, too cute - have to share! It’s what you want to be wearing + what your little ones want to be wearing. Take a peek at our faves here
Read MoreBack in June we shared Merrimane with you - a new children’s outerwear company that we had fallen in love with. Since Merrimane’s first round of production arrived in August, Bitsy had the opportunity to style them on Lucy + Greer for the upcoming fall/winter seasons! The love affair continues.
