Honeysuckle Sandals by Born

I know it's wrong, but I'm pretty much lusting after these shoes:

Aren't they gorgeous?

Metallics are so hot right now.

And they're by Born, so you know they're comfy, too- a shoe characteristic priority for any mother carrying around a little one.

Melissa&Doug Birthday cake

London has had this play Birthday Cake Set for 3 years, and it has remained one of her very favorite toys.

 Made of high quality wooden pieces, the cake slices, candles, and 'yummy' toppings all velcro together for easy pull-apart-put-back-together fun.

Clear Skies Cloche

A hat says one of two things:

1. "I was too busy to wash my hair today".

or

2. "I'm a woman who understands fashion".

Guess which of the above this one is shouting?

Paisley Maxi dress

This is a sweet deal for such a cute summer dress:

This dress has a gorgeous print and color, and is long enough for the most modest of us.

I think this would be hot with a button up shirt or jacket, and a skinny belt.

Also, you can't beat the price.

BR Sadie Ruffle Cardigan

I love that the latest trends in women's fashion are so femimine and flirty.

It's such a refreshing change from the past 2 decades, 

and one I hope lasts for some time to come.  

I think this cardigan embodies the ruffled look beautifully:

The softness of the color, the knit of the fabric, the curve of the design....they all work together to make this sweater an essential Spring 2011 fashion staple.
