Gotta love the Ellen Dress...

We constantly hear "I wish my girls could still wear your stuff". Well, check out this pic. This beautiful 9 year old, is wearing a size 3 "dress". These dresses literally can be worn for years. It starts as a dress, turns into a tunic, and then it can be worn as a shirt :) She paired the dress with a tutu and boots to make it extra funky :) A long sleeve shirt can be worn in the winter and a short sleeve in the spring. On those summer hot days, it can be a sleeveless dress. This dress can be found at http://www.poshprincipessa.com/ under the Spring 2011 tab, Memory Lane, $42!





Thanks winter weather for a few more cold days...thanks to you, almost ALL of our fall line is gone. We have very limited sizes left and a few items. Here is one item that is still available in select sizes. If you are thinking about it, don't wait...they are all almost gone :)




Here is a picture of the OOAK dress this week. It is a halter dress with a pinned flower. The bright colors and fun patchwork are perfect for spring :) This is available in a size 3 and REMEMBER, THERE IS ONLY one :) Email us at poshprincipessa@gmail.com if you are interested!



Thanks to all the contest entries for the Puddle Ducks, Bliss Eleven, Posh Principessa Spring Model Search. WOW, this is going to be an amazing contest:) We have 51 participates...super excited. We will send out more information about the contest in a week or so.


On the personal side... we apparently moved to "Pleasantville" and I didn't even know it. Rocco starting sleeping through the night last week (and I don't mean 6-7 hrs either, 12 HOURS :) As if sleeping through the night isn't good enough, in the morning, he coos (spelling?) to wake up instead of screaming. Oh...I love him dearly :) And then Miss Ava, comes in...oh so early in the morning, but how can you not be happy to see her....when she awakes you with a kiss every morning :) (That was the best rule I have made in the house so far!!)




Have a great week; thanks for stopping by the blog:) And, if you are reading this blog without "following" us, you are CHEATING! I know you are out there, so wassup?? Just officially "follow" us!!

Model Search Details To Come...

We always have people ask us for boys' clothes...you ask...you receive :) Check out these adorable pictures taken by Bliss Eleven with our new Music From the Heart shirt. This shirt is great for pictures, yet super fun to wear everyday. It's all BOY!! Dress it up with khakis or wear it everyday with jeans/shorts. Layering it gives it a funky look too!


The vintage tie is a Made-to-Match tie for the Little Miss Sunshine tie-knot dress. This will be great with Easter coming up! The tie is reversible, so you can match two PP dresses (or put baseballs or something else on the other side!).



We survived and are all recovered from the blizzard last Monday :) I guess wearing shorts TWO DAYS later helped, lol! Here is the link from our feature with Tim Ezell Fox 2 News.

We have been so busy with our Spring 2011 line, we haven't been sewing many unique creations (which is one of my favorite things to do!!) So, we are going to (try anyway) to make a OOAK (one-of-a-kind) dress each week, in random sizes. This weeks dress, WE LOVE! In fact, we love it so much we already made one for our princess :) Check it out...we love how the Ellen dress is so versatile, we love bold colors, and we love patchwork...so we made the PERFECT dress for you to love. THERE IS ONLY ONE OF THESE and it is a size 5. You can purchase it under the OOAK tab.



We also wanted to show you a picture of a custom tee we did to match the Born To Be Wild Ruffle Skirt. How cute is this for an upcoming birthday or for everyday. The shirt has a cherry with "bling" on it to make the shirt super sassy! The skirt is on sale too for $32 (regular $52) and the shirt is $32. You can purchase these under the birthday tab.



And we can hardly wait to announce our SPRING MODEL SEARCH is underway. We are pairing up with Bliss Eleven Studios by Laurie Nowling and Puddle Ducks to find the next top model! The start of the search will take place on Sunday, April 17th from 4-6 pm. Stay tuned for more details.




Enough about Posh :) Let's talk about some personal stuff. I am super excited to say that I am officially ALL caught up with my digital scrapbooking FOR AVA AND ROCCO. I never thought the day would come that I would be done scrapping Rocco's arrival, our newborn session with Bliss Eleven, Ava's birthday, Dance and Basketball pics, Posh Spring 2011 line pics, etc., etc! Here is one page...



Oh he is so sweet and a momma's boy already :)

Here are a few pictures from our fabulous weekend we had. (Can I just say I LOVE my NEW family :) I am the happiest mommy around!!

Ava and her BFF, daddy!


Daddy, Ava, and Ella (don't worry, it isn't Rocco)!


Mommy and her princess :)

Have a great week and enjoy this nice weather!!

Fox 2 News with Tim Ezell

When I woke up at 4:30 am this morning (thanks Rocco for almost sleeping through the night :), I never thought the ground would be covered with SNOW. Afterall, we were going down to the station to talk about our SPRING line (not fall/winter line). So, having the best friends in the world, we hop in the car and head out in the March blizzard. We left an hour and a half early, so this should be plenty of time, right? Cars were in the ditch all over...2+ hours later, we roll into the station and have 10 minutes to get 4 kids to the bathroom and dressed!! We pulled it off with about 30 seconds to spare. The kids did great and we all had fun (once we got there)!! I will post the link once it is up :)

Watch us on Fox 2 News Monday at 9:00am

Shooting for our new Posh Principessa lines are always fun, but it isn't easy as it looks. Ava acts silly, mommy acts silly, Laurie's sneezing trick is silly, and the spider in Laurie's camera is silly. Check out some of the silly behind the scene pics...

By the look on Ava's face, you are probably asking yourself "what in the world is mommy doing behind Laurie to try to make her laugh?" Well, that will be our little secret, won't it :) My motto is...I will do (almost) anything as long as we get a good pic, right? :)
We are going to be doing the Tim Ezell show THIS MONDAY morning at 9:00am. Sounds like so much fun, right? Well, it is going to be fun alright, for the fans watching because it is LIVE. There is no editing, no redoing, no cropping. You will see the true Posh Principessa colors this Monday. Does this make me just a little worried? No, not at all. My princess (diva) will be my little star no matter what :) (crossing my finger right now)
Btw..., does this mean you guys will know my secrets on how I make Ava laugh and how I get her to smile all the time. Let's hope they don't film my tricks. This is going to be exciting...make sure you watch it!

Thanks to Another "Team Posh" Member

So, this member of "team Posh" isn't who I had in mind to thank tonight. In fact, it didn't really hit me until today that this person deserved so much recognition. It is my princess, Ava. We did our spring line photo shoot with Bliss Eleven Studios (by Laurie Nowling). I tried to "pump" her up about it yesterday. I guess it worked because this morning when she got up at 6:00 a.m. (like usual), she told her daddy that she needed to go back to bed to get ready for her photo shoot today. HAHA. She stayed in bed another hour. WOW!! (Can Laurie take pics everyday??).

When we started this spring/summer shoot (sleeveless dresses), it was 32 degrees, then it went up to 34 degrees, and then 40 degrees (and then it finally got HOT to 50 degrees). My strong determined lil princess, just kept smiling away. Okay, it wasn't that easy. She was shivery in a few pics, but I know Laurie got some good ones! We took about 500 pics and wore 9 different outfits. For a three year old, I must say, she cooperated pretty good. Although, mommy and Laurie did have a lot of tricks in our bag (some blew away and we ate some), but they seemed to work. Here is proof of one trick.


After all, she is the reason PP started. Not only should I thank her for that, but...I should thank her for being my nonstop model. She loves wearing mommie's dresses. Today she told me "mommy, I don't need you to make me anymore dresses. I have enough." I am so very thankful to have her on Team Posh :)

P.S. Stay tuned to see sneak peeks of the spring shoot on Bliss Eleven Studios fan page.
