Fashion, Art and a washable poodle

This cute paper doll is perfect for Beli's little hand. found via Cool Kids via Etsy.

I'm thinking of getting this for Beli's birthday, which is coming up in a few months. Thanks Betsy!

I have been reading Betsy's blog, Cool Kids for several months now and what I love about her posts are that not only does she find great gift ideas for kids, but also cool and affordable outfits like this cute pink shirt perfect for Valentine's,

or these darling shoes, I know bit too small for Beli but there are too cute.

And Betsy also gives her readers the opportunity to feature their children. So every Thursday a cool kid is featured, and today, it's Beli turn! You can read more about it here.  Have a wonderful day!



Fashion in the city

 Hubby went to the farm to finish  the harvest of the olives so that left Beli and I to hang out together this weekend in the city. She did so much better getting ready this morning. Lately I have been feeling frustrated that she fights my every choice of clothing and meals that I prepare. Which in turn makes me doubtful about my trip overseas next month. How will I manage without hubby to help me distract her? Don't get me wrong, I love her outgoing personality, her independence I just wish she could be nicer to me! But today something clicked in my head (resignation? maybe) and I'm changing my attitude. I will just give in to what she wants to wear. I will have to say she didn't do so bad picking out her clothes this morning. We walked to the bus stop and we waited for bus number 15 to take us downtown. Beli was anxiously waiting for numero quince.

There were so many beautiful and fashionable women. I felt underdressed with my silver flats!

love the boots

 Even with a population of roughly over 200,000 you will almost run into someone you know so there's a pressure to always look your best!

 Selling shoelaces.

I couldn't resist and I went to Zara's. I purchased this for Beli, what do you think? There was another shirt and I showed it to Beli and she said, "esta feo," it's ugly. I guess I should take her shopping more often so she can help me out with my wardrobe!
