Fall is Here...

We have always said, the typical Posh Principessa outift can be worn all year round (and for many years). Lately, we have been doing just that. The Flower Power outfit from this summer is still one of my favorites, so I would be sad to put it away now that summer is over. I am SO glad we don't have to. For the fall, crisp days...LAYER, LAYER, and LAYER some more. Any of the tank tops or dresses can be worn with a plain shirt underneath. (You can get plain tees at Children's Place or Target.) Layer the skirts and dresses with tights. And if it was really chilly, layer them with a jean jacket and throw on some boots. Layering is in, so why not take advantage of it. In fact, let your princess dress herself with as many layers as she wants. She will have fun doing it, be warm, and feel proud she picked it ALL out by herself. In the first picture, I let Ava layer it herself. Although, she did a little TOO many layers. But, after we took off the tu tu she had OVER the skirt (and left the one she had under) and we took off the bright purple eye shadow she had on her neck, we were out the door.

The pillowcase style dress is the best dress for the price you pay. It can be worn all year, for many years. This dress below is a dress from our Spring 2010 collection. It is a little shorter, but perfect with tights (and next year with jeans). Do the "fall colors" really matter, not to us. Wear pink and bright colors all year. Brighten the days up any way you can :) We put a short sleeve tee under it (but you can do a long sleeve) and our Ruffle Galore Leggings(can find under the FAll 2011 tab) for the chilly mornings that turn into beautiful days.

This dress is from our 2010 Fall line, Sealed With a Kiss. It was one of our most popular dresses, so you probably have one. Well, go get it out of the box downstairs because it has ONE more season left in it :) The sleeves become three-quarter sleeves and it is the perfect tunic this year.

And of course, we always pair up our outfits with a Pocket Full of Posey headband because they are just the right finishing touch :)

I couldn't resist this pic. Ava's teacher at school (who is amazing) mentioned the kiddos should be dressing themselves. It helps them become independent and feel proud. So, when I called Ava's name that is was time to go...she came out of her playroom like this. "Oh My", I thought! We don't have time to change and after all, it looks like she worked really hard on this outfit! Plus, she couldn't be more proud. So, after a quick pic, out the door we went with pink glitter high heels (you can't see them), dance bow in, tutu under tutu, 3 Brookie Cookie Bow's necklaces on, and a shade of lipstick (glasses didn't make the cut). When we walked into the meeting, I just smiled :) They knew we were there and Ava was so happy the entire time...a job well done.

I couldn't post all the pics of Ava and not my son...So, here is a pic of my little principe and I. I just love his smile :)

So, we have enjoyed the pumpkin spice lattes, they have been nice, but we are READY FOR SPRING to get here :) We have purchased some of our fabric and the majority of the line is designed. We are super excited to share it with you. Stay tuned...

Autumn On My Mind

We are WOWed by the orders and compliments on this line. Remember that there is limited quanities for our 2011 line. So if you can't decide which one...get both...before you get neither :(

I also can't write a blog and thank people without thanking my daughter. She can't read, so she won't be reading this but...THANK YOU AVA...YOU ARE THE BEST! Ava makes it fun and unforgettable, to say the least!! I dug out a picture from our 2009 Fall Line shoot with Bliss Eleven (Laurie Nowling Photography back then). Oh how my posh princess has changed :)

Another big thanks to Emma, our Spring Contest Winner from the Bliss Eleven, Puddle Ducks, and Posh Principessa Model Search. She is a doll!!!! Her sweet personality made it so easy to get some great shots. We are so lucky to have her represent our clothing line in the upcoming Puddle Ducks ad in the St. Louis Kids Magazine. Stay tuned...

YEAH EMMA :)

On the personal side of things, I wanted to share this FUN idea. Ava loves to draw and is constantly coming home from school with artwork. So, like every parent, you wonder...what in the world am I suppose to do with all this. You hate to throw it away. (and if you have they ALWAYS seem to find it and can't believe that it was in the trash ;) So, I went hunting for the magical idea of where to "store" the artwork. I fell in love with this idea. We got a piece of glass made (from St. Charles Glass and Glazing in Wentzville) for our kitchen table. It is slightly lifted off the table and we can slide Ava's masterpieces right under the table. SHE IS SO PROUD...it looks neat...is a great conversation piece... and is easy to interchange the art. We can stick pictures, draw personalized place mats, store artwork, etc.

Happy shopping on the Fall 2011 line :)
