What We Are Loving Right Now. Mixing Prints

We are always looking for ways to help dress that little fashionista who wants to wear everything her fashionable mom does, and mixing prints is such a big statement at the moment. The key to making the mix of prints look so effortless and chic is to pair two very contrasting prints that are close in color range and saturation. 

We simply love this statement, so we created this amazing little frock for your little girl that mixes a beautiful summer paisley print with a classic leopard pattern...

The result is an adorable little number that is sure to turn heads and make your little fashion plate stand out.

Easter Craft Projects To Do With Your Kids

Just Ducky Tennis Ball Chick

1. To hatch your own duckling decoration, first use tacky glue to glue together two 4-inch squares of orange craft foam.

2. When the glue is dry, cut out a 1-piece set of webbed feet, then glue a tennis ball to the feet.
3. Next, glue 2 googly eyes and 2 duck bill shapes cut from more orange craft foam to a 2-inch yellow pom-pom, then glue the pom-pom to the tennis ball.
4.  For wings and a tail, glue yellow and orange craft feathers to the sides and back of the duck.

5. Finally, dot nostrils on the top of the bill with a permanent marker.
