Happy Halloween

My mom always made the most AMAZING costumes for my sister and I. Every year, my sister got to pick what she wanted to be and I was lucky enough to get to wear that costume the following year. Well, I finally got to pick my very own in the year of 1987...and I picked Fredbird. My mom worked and worked on it...Fredbird I was ;)

Ava, Daddy, and I were surprised at Mimi's house on halloween when Fredbird opened the door to greet us ;) Looking back now, I am amazed at my mom's talent and the time she spent to make this from scratch, with no pattern. Thanks Mom for being the best at everything you do ;)


Ava had fun trick-or-treating! She had quite a few parties this week, dance, her babysitters, trick-or-treating at the Meadows, Boo at the Zoo, and trick-or-treating on Sunday. Candy...candy...candy...

Few more months until little baby Albanese comes. His room is almost ready...just waiting on the furniture. Super excited to show some pics when it is ALL complete :) Couldn't help but to post this sign that I saw at the Magic House this week. I have been to the Magic House a lot the last few years and have never seen this before. This time, the sign jumped out at me...

Posh Principessa will be at lots of upcoming holiday events. This week we will be at Kirkwood United Methodist Preschool (on the 3rd and 4th), Finders Keepers (the evening of the 4th), and at the Columns in St. Charles (on the 5th). Next week we will be at Elliott preschool and the Webster Groves Holiday Bazaar. Contact us for more information.

Work and Play

We had a great time meeting lots of new customers and seeing some "regular" customers at the Ladue Early Childhood Center Show last week. We also really enjoyed meeting one very talented lady, Emma! (I have said this all along my Posh Principessa journey, meeting local- talented women, business owners is one of the many perks of Posh Principessa.) So, lets talk about Emma...besides she is the sweetest lady, she makes the custest Snap Stories. These books are unique, durable, and simply adorable. Each page in the book has self-adhesive tape around it. So, after you place your own PERSONAL picture, you pull the self-adhesive tape and complete the book. She has every "story" you would need...birthday...girlfriends...baby...adventures, etc. Check these books out at http://www.snapstories.com/. What a fun stocking stuffer or gift!!!


Prego me at the event :)

So, as you know...I'm not all work, I do like to play. This week Mimi, Ava, and I played at the circus. We had so much fun, I was sad when the day was over. Ava's favorite part of the circus was watching the elephant paint; I loved the motorcyles in the ball, and (as you can tell) Mimi liked the tall guy on stilts :)

One of Many Basketball Lessons From Papa

This picture just melts my heart. As many of you know, back in the day...I used to play basketball (and then coach). This was before I learned to sew ;) My dad gave me many many many basketball lessons (he does still hold the scoring record at his high school...he knows "his stuff" :) So, when he was patiently showing Ava how to shoot tonight, and she was really listening, I couldn't get the camera fast enough. Love Love this pic!!

So many things to write about this week...in case you didn't see on facebook, Laurie Nowling entered my living room wall display into the Wild Sorbet contest. It won first place in the home category, so it (with Ava in her Posh P. clothes) will be in their next catalog! :)



If you haven't already, stop by Lollitops off of Main Street in St. Charles. They carry a wide selection of our fall clothing line AND have the most adorable coordinating hats to match. They also have a kiosk with a wide Posh P. selection in West County mall next to Gymboree.

This beautiful weather will put a smile on anyone's face!! Ava and I had a nice day at the butterfly house seeing the owl butterflies (who knew there was such a thing). But, we had even more fun at the park outside the butterfly house.

This pic is so my loving, sassy Ava...I had to post it. I just love her so much ;)

We made it to Theis pumpkin patch. It is definately worth going to. There is so much for the kiddos to do. Although, I have to say...we (Ava and I) went into one of the mazes. It was REALLY scary...pitch black...I was starting to have a panic attack...trying to stay calm...luckily a 10 year old behind us had a flash light...I literally begged him to stay next to me until we got out.

The zip wire...fun, fun, fun!

This is our limited edition "White Christmas" dress that is now available. Size 3 is already sold out. Place your order today. You can find out under the Fall 2010 tab at www.poshprincipessa.com!

First Time for Everything

Wow...I have never been apple picking before yesterday...I LOVE it! We had the best time ever!! It was quite a journey to get there, but well worth every minute. The play area, the apple cider, hot cocoa, the pumpkins, picking the apples, eating the candy apples, etc. So fun!! (and I just can't wait to make apple pancakes and baked apples today!!) Here are a few pics...

Apples for sale :)


This was taken right before they all tumbled down :)


Riding the tractor/wagon to pick our first apples :)

We will also have Posh in two new locations: It Boutique in New Town @3237 Rue Royale #1, St. Charles 63301, 636-916-2007 AND Three Little Clementines will be at local shows this season.

Oh and check out yet another cute pic taken by Laurie. What a hunk...

Working on our spring line. We have the sketches done and a lot of the fabric picked out. Although, the fabric selections have changed at least a thousand times :) I truly have a fabric addiction.

Enjoy wearing those sweatshirts this week :)

Fall is Here!

We posted many one-of-a-kind items and some spring items on sale this week. Check them out under our Sale tab on our website. Available only while supplies last! We also have the majority of our fall line available for same day shipping.

Fall has officially arrived. We had a blast this summer, although we are excited for cooler weather, the pumpkin patches, sweatshirts, hot cocoa, and turning on the fireplace :) Take a look at our first trip to the pumpkin patch this fall. Ava had a blast...she got to eat her first candy apple, picked out her very own pumpkin, swing, go done the slide, play in the corn, pet the animals...

Happy Fall :)

Fun New Items in the Posh Principessa Family

Here are a few new items that are on our website. We LOVE the new burnout tees with the ties. The tie can be an actual tie sewn to the shirt at the top or a vintage tie with the frayed edges sewn to the shirt. These are great for pictures, can be worn casually, or dressy. Perfect for layering this fall ;) The other new item is one of my new favorite Ellen dresses, One Fine Day. The retro look makes it fun and funky!!

We had a fun weekend. We went to see Princesses Disney On Ice. Ava loved her snow cone, seeing Minnie and Mickey, and Cinderella. Good times :)

Here are two pics that were taken by Laurie Nowling Photography. I just love them :) Laurie is booking up fast for the fall. Her fall weekends are already booking into mid November, so call today for your appointment!!

Big Heart :)

Here is a little posh outfit we made for our dear Maggie. Maggie had open heart surgery to correct a congenital heart defect she was born with on June 4th. Her mother, Renae, bought her a Nap Nanny. It is a soft slightly inclined chair designed to help infants with acid reflux. Renae thought this looked like a comfortable way to help dear Maggie recover. Everyone at St. Louis Children's hospital also fell in love with the chair. In fact, they renamed the chair "Queen Chair".

Renae has paired up with the owner of Nap Nanny, Leslie, and is raising money to donate 12 Nap Nannys to the cardiac ICU at St. Louis Children's hospital. The owner is giving Renae an amazing discount of about 75% off the chairs. Renae needs to raise $600 to give 12 chairs, allowing each room to have one of these beds. Wow...this is amazing. What a great cause. All of the rooms now have a rubber mattress that the babies recover on.

If you want to donate, even a tiny bit will help, email me at poshprincipessa@gmail.com.
