Sweet Spot For Slumber

I love celebrities. I love the gossip, the "steal this look", just all of it, which made me excited to see this:

Just look at this gorgeous little crib by Bratt Decor that Jewel chose for her sweet baby boy. It's the same one my little angel sleeps in every night, but because it's so versatile, it looks completely different in a baby boy's room. This crib comes with four-posters to add on and a canopy as well, so it really will fit well into any design! Oh what a sweet spot for any baby's slumber, this crib is available at my fav local spot, Plaid Rabbit, or online.

Nanny Pickle!!!!!!

Yes, there are a lot of things I say I "love". I know this. That's ok.
Nanny Pickle qualifies as something I "love, love"! Their sweet baby things are ultra soft organic cotton and bamboo, quirky designs and sweet colors. I adore the fun sayings like "Good Bunny, Bad Bunny" and a recent favorite purchased for Baby Girl's nephew, "Giraffes shouldn't ride in hot air balloons"!

Just. So. Sweet.

And a little bit hard to find, I find which is why I was so thrilled to see it on zulily yesterday! Go, be a good bunny, check it out, get some for your sweet little one or as a gift for someone else's!

Sweet Shop, Sweet Nursery

As I've mentioned before, my favorite baby shop is hands down Plaid Rabbit. I simply love everything in the store, which is probably why I've basically ended with a "satellite" shop right in our home!

There are lots of places online you can buy just about any and everything you can possibly need or want for a baby of course, but there's just something about walking into a store, seeing and feeling what you want rather than just click, click, click, done. Here are a few of my fav things for a haute nursery:

Chandelier: It doesn't have to be fancy or flashy, just something that gives a tiny bit of extra personality to the space! We put ours on a dimmer switch so it also works perfectly as Baby Girl's little nightlight and I can just barely brighten it if I need to go into her room! This one is by Maura Daniel.

 Crib: Ok, so this obviously isn't an "accessory" like lighting, but might as well have it as sweet as possible! I'm big on iron cribs right now and Bratt Decor seems to be fitting everyone's idea of perfect!

Bedding: Because I am such a "girly girl" I love pink, frills, etc...Lula Smith is, in my opinion, the Louis Vuitton of baby bedding. Love it.

All of these beauties along with lots of sweet, one of a kind furniture can be found at...Plaid Rabbit! Visit their celebration this weekend!

Haute Painting

Long before we were even expecting Baby Girl, I knew just the nursery I wanted. It was all planned out in my head right down to the tiniest of details...and then I walked into my fav baby spot, Plaid Rabbit, and it all changed!

My thoughts of bright colors and modern touches quickly dissolved as I instantly fell in love with full wall murals, sweet pale pink walls and iron cribs. That's kind of a lot to talk about in one post, so I'll just start with my favorite:the walls!

I often have creative ideas, but the execution is usually dreadful so it was wonderful when I met Leigh Ann Agee who could take all my thoughts, make sense of them and change then them into something wonderful! The work she did on Baby Girl's walls is so incredible that I'm not sure I could imagine a nursery being complete without at least a little something special from her talented hands!

Beautiful Ceiling Mural

These are just a couple of the oh so sweet scenes for which she's become famous. Check out her website www.leighannarto.com for a beautiful selection of her work, or better yet, meet her on Thursday night at Plaid Rabbit's Grand Re-Opening for Cupcakes & Cocktails!

Cake!

Not that kind of cake! Maybe I'm just not as "in" the baby loop as I'd like to be, but I didn't know until recently that Petunia Pickle Bottom had this other line called "Cake"!

A very sweet friend sent me a fabulous PPB diaper bag before Baby Girl's arrival and I have loved it! Sometimes a mom just doesn't feel like dragging around a big "look at me, I'm a diaper bag" diaper bag and PPBs definitely fit the bill on those days! On top of being adorable, they are super functional, too.

But, anyway, back to "Cake"! I discovered them on a visit to my favorite local baby shop, The Plaid Rabbit. 

I mean, really, I can totally imagine one of these with a Jackie O outfit, big sunglasses and adorable baby!

Saks Sale!

I sometimes have mixed emotions when my fav websites like Saks or Bloomingdales have a sale. On one hand, I can't wait to shop. On the other, I hold my breath really hoping nothing I've already bought is on there. Although I tend to find things I want and stalk them until they are more obtainable, sometimes I bite the bullet, especially with Baby Girl things. Such was the case with this adorable Burberry dress, now on sale at Saks.

Oh well, at least she looked super haute all spring!

Diamonds Are A {baby} Girl's Best Friend!

I have found it so difficult to know what to give Baby Girl for some of the first milestones in her life. There isn't anything under the sun that she needs, a baby can only have so many toys, and honestly all of her "firsts" are so special, we want her to have sweet keepsakes rather than just "stuff".

After struggling with this quite a bit for her first Christmas, we decided on giving her something that she could keep forever and will hopefully always be special for her. Thoughtful keepsakes like this for first birthdays, Christmases, Baptisms, Christenings, etc I think are just so much more meaningful than a toy or clothes and don't necessarily have to be expensive. Of course,  a little of sparkle does help!

"Baby's First Diamonds"

Any little girl would be thrilled to grow up and have something like this sweet sparkler from 

Tiffany & Co!
