Wallflower Jeans Giveaway!

Remember these Wallflower Legendary Bootcut jeans that are on my list of favorite jeans of all time?  Well, I now own a second pair and they are the Wallflower Famous Flare Jeans.  I wanted to tell you about them and give you the chance to win some for yourself!

There are so many things that I love about these Wallflower Famous Flare Jeans.  First of all, the reasonable prices.  They are usually around $34 a pair to start out, but they often mark them down or have sales that get them to about $25 a pair.  However, not all of their jeans get down that low and some of them sell out too fast, so you may not want to wait if there is a pair that you have your eye on.  You can buy them on the Wallflower website here.  You can also buy them from other online sites and retailers, and you can also find them in stores like Kohl's and Macy's.

Secondly, the fabric they use is just SO comfy; just like jeans should be.  I would live in my sweats if I could, but these jeans are by far the easiest to put on in the morning when I really don't want to get dressed.  They are super soft and pretty stretchy, but still hold their shape and hold the places that you need and want them to hold in. :)  They are as close to "jegging" material as you can get without them being jeggings and still having some shape.

Thirdly, I love their fit.  The legendary bootcut were the first pair I owned and loved.  And now, the famous flares are another favorite pair of jeans I own.  I love the cute back button pockets (as you can see in the first image I posted.)  They are a little bit lower on the hip than the bootcut, in fact they are they are the lowest on the hip of any other jeans I own, but they are tight enough that you don't need a belt with them (which is a deal-breaker for me and jeans.)  They are also a little bit tighter through the thigh & knee.  I got a size 3 in the Legendary Bootcut Wallflower Jean and I loved how they fit, but I would probably go one size bigger with the Famous Flare (a size 5 or even 7.)  I like my jeans a little looser than most people probably, but I also like them to be really long and these are just the right length for most shoes, but not for really tall boots or heels. 

I am excited to wear these jeans in the spring/summer with some pretty flowy shirts and blouses.  I also think they would be super cute with boots and a leather jacket.  They are flare, but can also be worn inside my boots, which is nice when you are still walking through snow in April! :(

Wallflower is giving away a pair of these to one of you!

Nomad Footwear Giveaway!

As I have been looking for some cute sandals for our trip coming up I noticed that Nomad footwear had some that I liked.  I decided on these black platform ones with a cute thick bandana print upper.  The print is done with a shiny silver thread so they are really fun and a little bit fancy.  I also loved that the upper is made from this fabric called EVA and it is super comfy.  There is nothing I hate more than having to break in flip flops and having blisters on the tops of my feet; and these definitely do NOT have to be broken in :)

 The other sandals I was debating between were these 3:

 As you can see, I am a fan of the sparkly sandals :)  But, I also liked these more modern ones:

And now you can go browse through Nomad's collection, because they are giving one of you a choice of any pair you would like (up to $55 value)!

For an entry to the giveaway, go browse their collection and come back here to tell me which ones you would choose if you won.

Bleached Hair and Velvet Couches

Do you know how bad I want a velvet couch? 

What do you do when you have kids+couches that don't mix?

I mean, we have a cream couch that obviously doesn't work well with an almost-3 year-old, but I think that it is worth all the times I have had to clean it...although I am not sure how good it will look in a couple of years...

I have been seeing velvet couches that I love all over the place lately. Oh, and also, she makes me want to bleach my hair:

Dream House: Girls Room

I am not sure why I don't just decorate Allie's room this way, since I already know what I like...I guess when you are on a strict budget you take whatever you can get :)  Maybe I will do some redecorating in the next place we live.

I love all the accessories in this image.  Sometimes I think the small things really make a room.

I am a huge fan of thick stripes for the kids rooms, as you can see from my last post.  I also love the color combo in these images:

 via Oliveaux

 I am so mad that I can't remember where I found this gorgeous baby's room, but I love everything in it.

 I love simple photography as artwork, and I plan on using photos of my kids in their rooms.

And, of course, for Allie, horses.

I have seen this little girl's room in a number of places and I love it:

I am also a huge fan of bunk beds and I loved these:

So, what do you love for a girl's room?

Spring Shoes for the Kids

Pediped is one of my new favorite brands of kids shoes.  They are really well-made and very comfortable for kids and babies.  Many are machine washable and they hold their shape really well.  Many also come with 2mm insoles to extend the life of the shoe
(since kids seem to need a new size every couple of weeks! :)

I just thought all of these were adorable and really perfect for Spring:

Aren't they all super cute?!  I got to review these ones for Allie and she absolutely loves them.  Not only are they easy for her to get on and off herself, but as soon as she puts them on she says "let's go running!" probably because they are so comfy and easy to get around in :)
